Notes: Paraquat is an herbicide.{69437} It induces light-dependent apoptosis and reduces chlorophyll levels in tobacco leaf discs when applied at a concentration of 10 µM. Paraquat (0.05, 0.1, and 0.2 kg/ha) eliminates susceptible barley grass but not the paraquat-resistant biotype in field studies.{69438} It induces apoptosis, increases intracellular levels of nitric oxide (NO), and increases expression of mRNA encoding inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells when administered at a concentration of 100 µM.{69439} Paraquat is toxic to rats (LD50s = 115 and 21 mg/kg for p.o. and i.v. administration, respectively).{69440} Intracerebroventricular administration of paraquat (100 nmol/animal) induces neuronal cell death and seizures, effects that can be inhibited by the antioxidant U-74389G (Item No. 75860), in rats.{69441} It induces weight loss, lung hemorrhage and edema, and diarrhea in rats when administered at a dose of 20 mg/kg.{69440} Formulations containing paraquat have been used in the control of plants in agriculture, commercial, and residential settings.
