Abstract
Abstract The structurally related fungicides, tridemorph, fenpropimorph and fenpropidin have been shown to inhibit the sterol Δ 14 -reductase and Δ 8 →Δ 7 -isomerase during ergosterol biosynthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Ustilago maydis . However, although the three fungicides are able to inhibit both enzymes, tridemorph inhibits the Δ 8 -Δ 7 -isomerase better than the Δ 14 -reductase whilst the reverse is true for fenpropidin and to a lesser extent for fenpropimorph.
