Ciobutide is a largely obsolete plant growth regulator although there is some evidence it is still used in some nations. The substance does not appear to have been extensively studied and so limited data is available for its environmental fate, ecotoxicity or effects on human health.

Ciobutide is commercially produced through a process that typically involves the reaction of a cyano-substituted phenylbutanoic acid with ammonia or an amine source under controlled conditions to yield the amide functional group, resulting in ciobutide.
