    Product Description

    Dimethomorph is a morpholine fungicide that inhibits fungal cell wall formation.1 It inhibits mycelial growth of the oomycete fungi P. citrophthora, P. parasitica, P. capsici, and P. infestans (EC50s = 0.14, 0.38, <0.1, and 0.16-0.3 µg/ml, respectively) but is less active against the green algae species C. vulgaris or S. obliquus in vitro (EC50s = 47.46 and 44.87 µg/ml, respectively).2,3,4 It inhibits androgen receptor (AR) activity in a reporter assay in MDA-kb2 human breast cancer cells but not in a yeast antiandrogen screen (IC20s = 0.263 and 38.5 µM, respectively).5 It is not toxic to rats (LD50 = 3,900 mg/kg) or goldfish (C. auratus; LC50 = >32 µg/ml).4,1 Formulations containing dimethomorph have been used in the control of fungi in agriculture.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
