[QUOTE="Dark Horse, post: 1234761, member: 52527"] The word "sulfonylurea" is used to describe a substance which has a particular chemical group in its structure. The rest of the molecule differs between the different sulfonylureas, giving them different properties. The sulfonlyureas used in weed control are not the same as those used in medicine. It's a bit like alcohols - they all share a particular chemical group but you can drink ethanol quite happily in wine, for example, whereas drinking methanol or ethylene glycol (antifreeze) may blind or kill you. Even if the sulfonylureas were the same, it's not unusual for a particular molecule to have different effects in different species. Antibiotics work by killing bacterial cells while leaving human cells undamaged. Theobromine in chocolate is harmless to humans but kills dogs. [/QUOTE]
