| Targets |
Kresoxim-methyl targets the cytochrome bc1 complex (complex III) in the mitochondrial electron transport chain. By binding to the Qo site of cytochrome b, it blocks electron transfer from cytochrome b to cytochrome c1, preventing the reduction of ubiquinone. This inhibition disrupts the mitochondrial electron transport chain, halting ATP production and leading to fungal cell death. The compound binds to complex III from yeast with a Kd of 0.07 μM, demonstrating high affinity for this enzyme. Its strobilurin-based structure is characteristic of this class of fungicides that act as respiration inhibitors. The compound's high affinity for the target enzyme contributes to its potent antifungal activity.
