General description

Ancymidol, a-cyclopropyl-a-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5-pyrimidinemethanol (EL-53 1), a plant growth retardant is a synthetic pyrimidine analogue. It is also a weak fungitoxic.

Application

Ancymidol has been used as the cytochrome P450 inhibitor to study its effects on Cyanidioschyzon merolae strain.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Ancymidol is a pyrimidine-class plant cell endocrine disruptor plant growth regulator that interferes with gibberellin and cellulose biosynthesis.
Ancymidol acts as a monooxygenase inhibitor. It is capable of interrupting gibberellin biosynthesis and growth in plants.
