CAS: 129214-59-1

15-Dihydroepioxylubimin is a fungicidal compound derived from plant sources, specifically identified in certain plant secondary metabolites. This compound operates by disrupting fungal cell membrane integrity, inhibiting fungal growth and proliferation. Its mode of action involves interfering with the biosynthesis pathways essential for the fungal cell wall, leading to impaired cell function and eventual cell death. In scientific applications, 15-Dihydroepioxylubimin is primarily explored for its potential to protect crops from pathogenic fungal infections. Research suggests its efficacy in acting against a spectrum of fungal pathogens, making it a promising candidate for developing natural fungicides. The ability to inhibit fungal growth without synthetic chemical inputs aligns with sustainable agricultural practices. Ongoing studies are investigating its effectiveness in various environmental conditions and its potential synergistic effects with other biocontrol agents. Scientists are also examining its impacts on non-target organisms, ensuring its safety and environmental compatibility.

15-Dihydroepioxylubimin is a natural product for research related to life sciences. The catalog number is TN2637 and the CAS number is 129214-59-1.
