Faltan

Folpet is a chemical that is used as an antifungal agent. It inhibits the synthesis of ergosterol, which is a component of fungal cell membranes. Folpet has been shown to have synergistic effects with other fungicides and has been demonstrated to be effective in vitro against some fungal strains. However, folpet is not active against all fungi. Moreover, folpet may cause genotoxic effects in animals and humans. The main toxicological effect of folpet is its ability to cause severe vomiting and diarrhea by reacting with hydrochloric acid in the stomach. This reaction can lead to fatal electrolyte imbalance and dehydration. Folpet also causes liver toxicity and kidney damage when administered at high doses or for prolonged periods of time.

Faltan (Folpet), a widely used dicarboximide fungicide, induces tumors in the mouse gastrointestinal tract, primarily in the duodenum.
