Quizalofop-P is an improved product after removing inactive optical isomers in the process of synthesizing Gramine. Its mechanism of action and herbicidal spectrum are similar to those of C. graminis. It is absorbed through weed stems and leaves, conducts upward and downward in plants, accumulates at the top and intermediate meristems, inhibits cellular fatty acid synthesis, and makes weeds necrotic.

ChEBI:Quizalofop-P is a 2-{4-[(6-chloroquinoxalin-2-yl)oxy]phenoxy}propanoic acid that has R configuration. An acetyl-CoA carboxylase inhibitor, it is used (generally as the corresponding ethyl or tefuryl ester proherbicides) for the control of annual and perennial grass weeds in sugar beet. It has a role as an EC 6.4.1.2 (acetyl-CoA carboxylase) inhibitor. It is a 2-{4-[(6-chloroquinoxalin-2-yl)oxy]phenoxy}propanoic acid and a quinoxaline herbicide. It is an enantiomer of a (S)-quizalofop.
