4 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
4.1 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Most readily absorbed through root system; less so through foliage and stems. ... Experimental evidence indicates that Siduron is translocated in the xylem.

4.2 Metabolism/Metabolites

Urine from a dog receiving 2500 ppm siduron in the diet was collected and analyzed for the parent compound and metabolites using a colorimetric method, and mass, IR, and NMR spectrometry, and a metabolic pathway was proposed; none of the parent compound was found, but three glucuronide conjugates of hydroxysubstituted siduron were isolated and identified, one substituted on the phenyl ring, one substituted on the cyclohexyl ring, and another substituted in both locations; it appears that siduron is first hydroxylated at either location, then both of these mono-hydroxylated compounds are hydroxylated again to form 1-(4-hydroxy-2-methylcyclo-hexyl)-3-p-hydroxyphenylurea; comparison of urine from the dog with that from a rat on a similar 2500 ppm diet, showed that the rat formed slightly less of the cyclohexyl-substituted compound than the dog; 800-1000 ppm of total siduron metabolites was bound in the urine of these two animals.

In studies with (14)C-labeled siduron, no metabolites ... were detectable in barley plants after an 8 day absorption period.

... Both phenyl and cyclohexyl rings are subjected to hydroxylation in the dog. ... The pathways proposed ... show that siduron is either hydroxylated at para position of phenyl nucleus or at 4 position of 2-methylcyclohexyl moiety. Both metabolites are further hydroxylated to form 1-(4-hydroxy-2-methylcyclohexyl)-3-(p-hydroxyphenyl)urea.

When urine samples of both dogs and rats were subjected to hydrolysis and analyzed for aminophenol /as well as/ aniline, it was observed that hydroxylation of the phenyl moiety was more prominent in the rat than in dog. Apparently rats exhibit particular efficiency in hydroxylating the aromatic nucleus of phenylureas. In another study in which (14)C- carbonyl-labeled compound was applied ... microbial degradation was major route of siduron disappearance in soil. Metabolites separated on thin-layer plates had same characteristics as those identified in urine, and /it was/ ... concluded that ring hydroxylation was also operative in soil environment.

4.3 Mechanism of Action

Unlike other substituted urea herbicides, siduron is not a potent inhibitor of photosynthesis; phytotoxic symptoms appear to be associated with root growth inhibition.
