Phosphonic diamide, P-methyl-, also known as glyphosate, is a widely used broad-spectrum systemic herbicide. It is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C3H8NNaO5P, derived from the amino acid glycine. Glyphosate works by inhibiting the enzyme 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) in plants, which is essential for the synthesis of aromatic amino acids. This inhibition disrupts the plant's growth and ultimately leads to its death. Glyphosate is non-selective and can be used on various crops, including corn, soybeans, and wheat, to control weeds and unwanted vegetation. It is also used in non-crop areas, such as lawns and gardens, for weed control. Glyphosate is considered relatively safe for humans and animals when used according to label instructions, but its environmental impact and potential health concerns have been a subject of debate and ongoing research.
The CAS Registry Mumber 4759-30-2 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 4,7,5 and 9 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 3 and 0 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 4759-30: (6*4)+(5*7)+(4*5)+(3*9)+(2*3)+(1*0)=112 112 % 10 = 2 So 4759-30-2 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
