Fluazinam exhibits a diverse range of bioactivities and fungicidal properties. As a bioactive compound, it functions as an agonist for multiple receptors and pathways including retinoid X receptor alpha, androgen receptor, glucocorticoid receptor, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma, nuclear factor-kappa B, Aryl hydrocarbon Receptor (AhR), antioxidant response element (ARE), p53, and rat pregnane X receptor (rPXR), and as an inhibitor for thyroid hormone receptor beta, farnesoid X receptor, Mammalian Selenoprotein Thioredoxin Reductase 1, Polymerase Iota, TGF-b, vitamin D receptor, estrogen receptor alpha, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta, tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 1, alpha-syn inhibitors, Vaccinia Orthopoxvirus, and the Phosphatase Activity of Eya2.
Regarding its fungicidal activities, Fluazinam effectively inhibits mycelial radial growth of Rhizoctonia solani AG-1 IA, with an EC50 of 0.046 ug/mL and an EC90 of 2.275 mg/L. It shows dose-dependent effects affecting mycelial growth from 3.4 mm to 9.1 mm at concentrations ranging from 0.1 mg/L to 100 mg/L. The compound is also active against Macrophomina phaseolina, with a fungicidal ED50 of 35.0 mg/kg in non-grafted Melon plants and an ED50 of less than 0.01 mg/kg for mycelial growth inhibition. Against Botryotinia fuckeliana, it prevents leaf lesions on cucumber seedlings and has a MIC of less than 16.0 ppm. Field trials indicate its activity on Kidney bean against Botryotinia fuckeliana with 7.8% activity at 500 ug/mL.
Furthermore, Fluazinam demonstrates antifungal effects against Mycosphaerella nawae strains MY5 and MY1 on potato dextrose agar with EC50 values of 50.6 ug.mL-1 and 24.0 ug.mL-1, respectively. It also shows fungicidal properties against Podosphaera fuliginea on pre-treated cucumber plants with an IC90 of 63.0 ppm and against Magnaporthe oryzae on rice with an IC90 of less than 16.0 ppm..
