Product Information

• Name: Silthiofam
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Silthiofam is a fungicide that belongs to the group of adenine nucleotide analogs. It has been shown to have antifungal activity in vitro and can be used for the treatment of fungal infections in plants. Silthiofam inhibits DNA-dependent RNA polymerase by binding to a specific site on the enzyme and preventing elongation of the poly-ribonucleotide chain. This results in inhibition of DNA synthesis, which leads to cell death. Silthiofam has synergistic effects when combined with sodium carbonate or sodium citrate, which promote cell membrane damage and inhibit protein synthesis. The LC-MS/MS method was developed for identification and quantification of silthiofam in plant samples.
