Difenoconazole is a broad-spectrum triazole fungicide that inhibits ergosterol biosynthesis via inhibition of the cytochrome P450-dependent 14?-demethylation of lanosterol, which results in disruption of the fungal cell membrane and cell death.{30331,39666} It inhibits the growth of F. graminearum isolates in vitro (EC50s = 1.69-19.6 mg/L for mycelial growth).{39666} It also inhibits growth of A. sonali, F. fulva, B. cinerea, and R. solani (EC50s = 0.131, 0.069, 0.297, and 0.252 mg/L, respectively).{39667} Difenoconazole reduces germtube growth of A. caricae, the mold responsible for black spot in papaya plants (EC50 = 2 ppm).{39668} It exhibits acute aquatic toxicity, reducing growth of S. obliquus algae (EC50 = 1.338 ?g/ml) and decreasing survival of D. magna (LD50 = 0.298 ?g/ml).{39667} Difenoconazole is also lethal to zebrafish (D. rerio) embryos, larvae, and adults (LC50s = 2.34, 1.17, and 1.45 mg/L, respectively).{39669} At sub-LC50 concentrations, difenoconazole induces pericardial and yolk sac edema in zebrafish embryos, body blackening and slowed heart rate in larvae, and decreased body weight and length in adults.
