Description

Diquat is a bipyridinium herbicide that inhibits photosynthesis by interfering with the electron transport chain in chloroplasts. It is synthesized through a multi-step process involving the reaction of 2,2'-bipyridine with 1,2-dibromoethane. Diquat is highly toxic to plants and animals, and its use is restricted in many countries due to environmental concerns. It is still used in some areas for weed control, particularly in rice paddy fields. Diquat is also used in research as a model compound to study the mechanisms of herbicide action and the impact of pesticides on ecosystems. Research on diquat focuses on its environmental fate, its toxicity to various organisms, and its potential to cause oxidative stress and genotoxicity. Diquat has also been studied as a potential therapeutic agent for various diseases, such as cancer and Alzheimer's disease.'

Actions

Diquat can cause kidney damage in rats, mainly manifested as renal tubular atrophy, epithelial cell edema, capillary congestion and dilation. Diquat induced an increase (P < 0.05) in expression of mitophagy-related proteins.

Toxicity

There is little information regarding the toxic effects of diquat on the female reproductive system. Diquat was shown to be more toxic than paraquat toward these cells in the first three assay systems. Addition of high concentrations of catalase, but not superoxide dismutase, to the incubations provided some protection.
