1-[2-(4-CHLOROPHENYL)-1-(1-HYDROXY-1-PHENYLETHYL)ETHYL]-1,2,4-TRIAZOLE

Brassinosteroids are a class of phytohormones with essential roles in plant growth and development, including the promotion of stem elongation and cell division. Brassinazole, a triazole derivative, is an inhibitor of brassinosteroid biosynthesis that has been developed in order to probe the myriad functions of brassinosteroids. At 1 μM, it can induce morphological changes, including dwarfism and altered leaf color and curling, in dark-grown Arabidopsis and light-grown cress that are rescued by co-application of a brassinosteroid.

ChEBI: Brassinazole is a member of the class of triazoles that is butan-2-ol which is substituted at positions 2, 3, and 4 by phenyl, 1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl and p-chlorophenyl groups, respectively. An inhibitor of brassinosteroid biosynthesis. It has a role as a brassinosteroid biosynthesis inhibitor. It is a member of triazoles, a tertiary alcohol and a member of monochlorobenzenes.
