Antifungal agent 106

Antifungalagent 106 (Compound Z31) is a benzoic acid derivative and a potential fungicide targeting Monilinia fructicola. It exhibits antifungal activity with an EC50 of 11.8 mg/L. The mechanism of action involves the disruption of cell membrane integrity, resulting in increased membrane permeability and the release of intracellular electrolytes, which impairs normal mycelial growth. Antifungalagent 106 is also applicable in research related to brown rot in stone fruits.
