Description
Famoxadone is an oxazolidinedione fungicide that shares the same mechanism of action as strobilurin derivatives. It is a brown solid with a broad-spectrum control of fungi and is particularly effective against downy mildew, late and early blights, the Septoria complex, and barley net blotch. Famoxadone provides good protectant, translaminar, and residual control, with excellent rainfastness and good crop safety.
Used in Agricultural Industry:
Famoxadone is used as an agricultural fungicide for the protection of various crops against fungal diseases and other biotic stresses such as pests.
Famoxadone is used as a preventative fungicide for the control of late blight and early blight on potatoes and field tomatoes, providing effective protection against these diseases.
Famoxadone is used for the control of a broad spectrum of fungal pathogens such as Plasmopara viticola (grape downy mildew), Phytophthora infestans (potato/tomato late blight), Pseudoperonospora cubensis (cucumber downy mildew), Septoria tritici (wheat leaf blotch), S. nodorum (wheat glume blotch), and Alternaria solani (potato/tomato early blight), ensuring the health and productivity of various crops.
When used in mixture with cymoxanil, famoxadone is particularly effective against grape downy mildew, enhancing the control of this disease in vine crops.
The cereal disease spectrum and level of disease control are improved when famoxadone is mixed with triazole fungicides such as flusilazole, providing enhanced protection for cereal crops.

Pharmacology
Famoxadone inhibits activity of ubiquinol : cytochrome
c oxidoreductase at the Qo site of complex III,
the same target protein as the strobilurins (34,35). However,
studies show a difference in the potency of various
strobilurins compared with famoxadone in single amino
acid mutants of the cytochrome b protein, suggesting that
this compound may interact differently with the target
protein (38).
Metabolic pathway
Famoxadone undergoes extensive degradation and metabolism in aqueous
and soil environments, in wheat plants, rats, goats and hens via common
pathways. The primary reactions include the hydrolytic opening of
the oxazolidinedione ring, aryl hydroxylation, cleavage of the phenoxyphenyl
and the oxazolidinedione-aminophenyl linkages and conjugation.
More than 25 degradation products have been identified.
Degradation
Famoxadone is relatively stable to hydrolytic degradation under dark
conditions in pH 5 buffer solution (DT50 41 days) (Jernberg et al., 1998a). It
was hydrolysed rapidly at pH 7 and pH 9 at 25 °C (DT50 values 2 days and
<2 hours, respectively). No sigruficant sunlight-induced degradation was
observed at pH 7. Hydrolytic degradation was catalysed in acidic conditions
(pH 5) under natural sunlight (DT50 4.6 days in contrast to 41 days at
pH 7). Primary hydrolytic degradation reactions include the opening
of the oxazolidinedione ring [to yieldα-hydroxy-α-methyl-4-phenoxyphenylacetic acid 2-phenylhydrazide (2) and 1-carboxy-1-(4-phenoxy-phenyl) ethyl-2-phenylhydrazinecarboxylic acid (3)], and the cleavage
of the oxazolidine-aminophenyl linkage to yield various products from
both the phenoxyphenyl moiety [ 1-(4-phenoxyphenyl)ethanone (4) and α-hydroxy-
α-methyl-4-phenoxyphenylacetiac acid (5)] and the aminophenyl moiety [small amounts of phenol (6), catechol (7) and benzene (8) via
the proposed 2-phenylhydrazinecarboxylic acid intermediate (9)] (see
Scheme 1).
Toxicity evaluation
Famoxadone has an acute oral LD50 > 5,000 mg/kg and
an acute percutaneous LD50 > 2,000 mg/kg in rats. It is
not a skin or eye irritant, is negative in the Ames test, and
is nonteratogenic. It shows very little soil degradation, is
nonmobile, and has a good ecotoxicological profile.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 131807-57-3 includes 9 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 6 digits, 1,3,1,8,0 and 7 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 5 and 7 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 131807-57:
(8*1)+(7*3)+(6*1)+(5*8)+(4*0)+(3*7)+(2*5)+(1*7)=113
113 % 10 = 3
So 131807-57-3 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
