Azoxystrobin structure

The fungicides are very versatile in the contol of fungi that have become resistant to the demethylase inhibitor (DMI) fungicides described later. They have surprisingly low mammalian toxicity, but as with many other respiratory poisons, they show some toxicity to fish and other aquatic organisms. They may also be toxic to earthworms. In fungi they inhibit spore germination. The structures show the natural products strobilurin B and azoxystrobin, which has been marketed since 1996.
