COVER STORY: Myclobutanil is a chiral triazole fungicide that provides control of many pathogens. This study by authors at Universitatea de Vest din Timișoara experimentally evaluates the effect of different doses of myclobutanil on the activity of soil enzymes and uses molecular modeling to assess the specificity of the interactions of the two isomers of myclobutanil with these enzymes.

Experimental data showed that, in high doses, myclobutanil inhibited the enzymatic activity of dehydrogenases and led to a slight increase in catalase activity. Molecular modeling data revealed the enantioselectivity of the interactions. (S)-myclobutanil, the isomer with lower antifungal activity, has greater inhibitory potential of soil enzyme activity. Thus, better agricultural practices are needed by using only (R)-myclobutanil, which is more effective for target organisms and less toxic for non-target organisms.
