  <description>Metribuzin is an exogenous organic compound with the formula C8H14N4OS and an average molecular weight of 214.29 g/mol. It exists as a solid at room temperature. Metribuzin belongs to the aryl thioethers, a subclass of thioethers within the organic compounds.

In industrial applications, the compound serves as a herbicide, biocide, and degradant or impurity (PMC10698095). It has been identified in nine recorded sources, including drinking water, indoor air, and floors. Additionally, it is found in molasses and the treatment of molasses, cigar cigarettes, and electrical and electronic equipment such as power cables, fixed capacitors, electric switches, and electrically stimulated smoking devices. Recorded exposure routes for the compound include oral and inhalation.

Metribuzin interacts with 11 recorded protein targets, which include the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 5 (CD40), C-C motif chemokine 2 (CCL2), C-X-C motif chemokine 10 (CXCL10), and collagen alpha-1(III) chain (COL3A1), among seven other proteins.</description>
