Research samples of methalpropalin have been formulated prior to 1977 by Lilly Research Laboratories.^[4]

Methalpropalin's mode of action is to disrupt microtubule formation; this makes its HRAC classification Group D (Australia), Group K1j (global) and Group 3 (numeric).^[5]

Little study has been done on methalpropalin.
