Mepronil Usage And Synthesis
Uses Mepronil is an benzanilide based fungicide found in the raw materials of herbal medicine.
Uses Mepronil is used to control Basidiomycetes diseases in rice, cereals, potatoes, vegetables, sugar beet, fruit, vines, tobacco, turf grass and other crops.
Definition ChEBI: A member of the class of benzamides, obtained by formal condensation of the carboxy group of 2-methylbenzoic acid with the amino group of 3-(ispropyloxy)aniline. A fungicide used to control diseases caused by Basidomycetes including Rhizoctonia
Metabolic pathway Mepronil is an analogue of flutolanil containing a 2-methyl group as opposed to the 2-trifluoromethyl group. The compounds have the same mode of action and are metabolised via similar routes except that the methyl group of mepronil provides an extra site for metabolic attack. The compound is metabolised by dealkylation and hydroxylation at both the methyl and isopropyl groups and by aryl hydroxylation. Some hydrolysis occurs in plants and animals.
