General description

N-(Phosphonomethyl)glycine (Glyphosate) is a broad spectrum, non-selective systemic herbicide. It plays an important role in inhibiting the activity of 5-enolpyruvylshikimic acid-3-phosphate synthase, which is involved in aromatic amino acid biosynthesis. Due to its chelation property, glyphosate can form coordinate complexes with a wide range of metal ions.

Application

  • Water Pollution Analysis: Campanale et al. assessed glyphosate and AMPA pesticides in river waters and sediments, providing crucial data on the environmental distribution and persistence of N-(Phosphonomethyl)glycine derivatives. This research supports efforts to monitor and regulate environmental pollutants effectively (Campanale et al., 2024).
  • Public Health Studies: Urinary biomonitoring of glyphosate exposure was conducted among farmers, utilizing N-(Phosphonomethyl)glycine as a marker. This study contributes to our understanding of occupational exposure risks and supports the development of health safety guidelines (Chang et al., 2024).
