Diuron is a phenylurea herbicide that inhibits photosynthesis by preventing the formation of ATP and NADH.{42074} It decreases total respiration in roots of wheat by 50% and ground respiration by 100% when used at a concentration of 25 nM/ml.{42073} Diuron (2,500 ppm, dietary) increases the incidence of urinary bladder urothelial carcinomas in male and female mice by 73 and 27%, respectively.{42074} It increases the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in MCF-7 human breast adenocarcinoma and BeWo human placental choriocarcinoma cells when used at a concentration of 200 µM and reduces viability of BeWo, but not MCF-7, cells when used at concentrations of 50 and 200 µM.{42075} Formulations containing diuron have been used to control broadleaf and grass weeds and as a biocidal antifouling agent.
