What is the mechanism of action of oxathiapiprolin and its toxicological profile?
Label:chem
Topic
Oxathiapiprolin is a fungicide effective against oomycete pathogens and is a chiral fungicide.
Answer
Oxathiapiprolin's novel and distinctive mechanism of action is to impede the oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP) of pathogenic bacteria. It has been established to not cause any irritation to the skin, eyes, or respiratory system, and is not carcinogenic, mutagenic, or toxic to reproductive development. The R-(-)-oxathiapiprolin enantiomer showed stronger binding to OSBP and preferential degradation.
