General description
N-(Phosphonomethyl)glycine (Glyphosate) is a broad spectrum, non-selective systemic herbicide. It plays an important role in inhibiting the activity of 5-enolpyruvylshikimic acid-3-phosphate synthase, which is involved in aromatic amino acid biosynthesis. Due to its chelation property, glyphosate can form coordinate complexes with a wide range of metal ions.
Application
- Water Pollution Analysis: Campanale et al. assessed glyphosate and AMPA pesticides in river waters and sediments, providing crucial data on the environmental distribution and persistence of N-(Phosphonomethyl)glycine derivatives. This research supports efforts to monitor and regulate environmental pollutants effectively (Campanale et al., 2024).
- Public Health Studies: Urinary biomonitoring of glyphosate exposure was conducted among farmers, utilizing N-(Phosphonomethyl)glycine as a marker. This study contributes to our understanding of occupational exposure risks and supports the development of health safety guidelines (Chang et al., 2024).

Glyphosate-based herbicides have been used worldwide for decades and have been suggested to induce nephrotoxicity, but the underlying mechanism is not yet clear. In this study, we treated a human renal proximal tubule cell line (HK-2) with glyphosate for 24 hours
The herbicide glyphosate is a potent inhibitor of 5-enolpyruvylshikimic acid-3-phosphate synthase.
