Product Introduction

PROCHLORAZ 45% EW is a fungicide active against a wide range of diseases affecting cereals, field crops, fruit and many other crops. It can be used for the control of pests including anthracnose, dothiorella complex, stem-end rot, and eyespot. It can be applied in fruits and fields including field crops, mushrooms, turf, avocados, mangoes, cereals including wheat, barley, and winter rye as well as winter oilseed rape.

Mode of action

The action of imidazoles used as fungicides or antimycotic drugs (e.g. ketoconazole) is based on the inhibition of the cytochrome P450-dependent 14a-deme- thylase activity required in the conversion of lanosterol to ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. The molecular basis of this inhibition is the presence of an imidazole moiety that interacts strongly with the iron atom of cytochrome P450. The binding is fairly unspecific and thus imidazole fungicides also inhibit the activities of a broad spectrum of other cytochrome P450-dependent enzymes, including key enzymes involved in biosynthesis and metabolism of steroids, e.g. CYP19 aromatase.
