Saflufenacil is the ISO common name for an organic compound of the pyrimidinedione chemical class used as an herbicide. It acts by inhibiting the enzyme protoporphyrinogen oxidase to control broadleaf weeds in crops including soybeans and corn.
==History== In 1985, chemists at the Dr R. Maag subsidiary of Hoffmann-La Roche filed patents to 3-aryl uracil derivatives which had herbicidal activity. The work was continued by Ciba-Geigy and further patents claiming additional esters were published, including to butafenacil (CGA276854), which was marketed in 2001. BASF scientists investigated the chemistry and patented an analog where the carboxylic ester of butafenacil was replaced by a sulfamoyl carboxamide. It was developed under the code number BAS800H and first marketed in 2008 with the brand name Kixor.
