Dimethomorph(CAT: R050653) is a synthetic fungicide used in agriculture to control various plant diseases caused by oomycete fungi. Its mode of action involves inhibiting the biosynthesis of fungal cell walls by interfering with the formation of cell membranes, specifically in the early stages of spore germination and hyphal growth. Pharmacologically, dimethomorph is not used as a therapeutic drug for human or animal health. Instead, it is applied topically to plant surfaces or used as a seed treatment to protect crops from diseases like downy mildew and late blight.
