Description:Carboxin sulfoxide, with the CAS number 17757-70-9, is a chemical compound primarily used as a fungicide in agricultural applications. It is a derivative of carboxin, which is known for its effectiveness against a variety of fungal pathogens affecting crops. The substance typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is characterized by its relatively low solubility in water, which influences its application methods. Carboxin sulfoxide exhibits a moderate level of toxicity to non-target organisms, necessitating careful handling and application to minimize environmental impact. Its mode of action involves inhibiting mitochondrial respiration in fungi, thereby preventing their growth and reproduction. Additionally, it is important to note that the compound may undergo further degradation in the environment, leading to the formation of other metabolites. As with many agrochemicals, regulatory assessments are conducted to evaluate its safety and efficacy, ensuring that it meets the necessary standards for use in agricultural practices.
