Background:

Myclobutanil is a conazole class fungicide widely used as an agrichemical.

Myclobutanil reduces cell viability to<50% at 100 ppm and to<10% at 500 ppm. Myclobutanil promotes a slight, but significant, increase in fatty acid (FA)-induced steatotosis at doses from 1 to 100 ppm. Anti-apoptotic biomarkers are significantly reduced by Myclobutanil[1].
