Oxadiazon is an orally active herbicide. Oxadiazon reduces hepatic cytochrome P450 levels. Oxadiazon increases palmitoyl CoA oxidase, acetyl carnitine transferase, and hepatic ALAS activity. Oxadiazon induces hepatomegaly and experimental porphyria. Oxadiazon controls weeds. Oxadiazon may be used in neurodegenerative disease research[1][2][3][4][5].
