Product Description
Imazalil (Enilconazole) is a fungicide. Imazalil is orally bioactive and strongly activates mPXR, but not mCAR, in mouse livers. Imazalil is widely used to protect a variety of crops from fungal attack. Imazalil can cause developmental abnormalities, intestinal microbiota dysbiosis, and hepatic metabolic disorders.
Enilconazole, also known as imazalil, is a chiral imidazole fungicide used in agriculture and veterinary medicine. It is widely utilized for the post-harvest treatment of fruits and vegetables, particularly citrus, to control a broad spectrum of fungal pathogens that cause storage decay. It is also used as a disinfectant for stable and kennel equipment and to treat fungal infections in animals. The compound is orally bioactive and has been shown to activate mPXR in mouse livers.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Enilconazole targets fungal sterol 14α-demethylase (CYP51), an enzyme involved in ergosterol biosynthesis. By inhibiting CYP51, enilconazole disrupts the synthesis of ergosterol, a critical component of fungal cell membranes. This inhibition leads to the accumulation of toxic sterol intermediates and depletion of ergosterol, resulting in compromised cell membrane integrity and fungal cell death. The compound's mechanism is characteristic of imidazole and triazole antifungal agents.
ln Vitro
IL-17 mRNA is strongly inhibited by Enilconodium (Enilconodium; 3, 10, 30 μM; lasting 6 hours)[1]. Imazalil (1, 3, 10, 30, 100 μM; during 24 hours) was only tested by RT-PCR in HepG2 cells that expressed mPXR [1].
In vitro, enilconazole inhibits the growth of various fungi, including Penicillium italicum, Aspergillus niger, Ustilago maydis, Botrytis alii, and other fungal pathogens. The compound's antifungal activity is assessed by determining minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) against a range of fungal species. It demonstrates broad-spectrum activity against plant pathogenic fungi. The fungicidal activity is concentration-dependent, with effective inhibition observed at low micromolar concentrations in standard agar diffusion or broth dilution assays.
ln Vivo
In a dose-dependent way, imazalil (enniconazole; 25–100 mg/kg) intraperitoneally raises cardiac Cyp3a11 mRNA levels considerably [2]. In comparison to monotherapy, the number of Ki-67 positive nuclei and Mcm2 mRNA levels were considerably raised when Imazalil (75 mg/kg; i.p.; twice; one daily) was supplemented with TCPOBOP (3 mg/kg). Imazalil can hasten the growth of liver cancer cells that are induced by TCPOBOP therapy [2]. Male C57BL/6 mice are given imazalil (0.1, 0.5, 2.5 mg/kg; rural; for 15 weeks) which promotes oxidation of Manhattan and bile acid activity [3].
In vivo, enilconazole is effective as a systemic fungicide for the control of fungal diseases in crops and post-harvest treatment of fruits. It is used to control a wide range of fungi on fruits, vegetables, and ornamentals, including powdery mildew on cucumber and black spot on roses. The compound is applied as a foliar spray, dip treatment, or drench. In veterinary medicine, it is used as a disinfectant and antifungal treatment for animals.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme assays for enilconazole measure its inhibition of fungal cytochrome P450 14α-demethylase (CYP51) activity. The enzyme is obtained from fungal microsomal preparations and incubated with its substrate (lanosterol or obtusifoliol) in the presence of NADPH and varying concentrations of the compound. The production of ergosterol or the accumulation of 14α-methylated sterols is quantified by HPLC or GC-MS. IC50 values are calculated from dose-response curves. Binding affinity to CYP51 can be assessed using spectroscopic methods.
Cell Assay
RT-PCR[1]
Cell Types: EL4 cells
Tested Concentrations: 3, 10, 30 μM
Incubation Duration: 6 h
Experimental Results: Dramatically suppressed IL-17 mRNAs.
In vitro cell-based assays for enilconazole use fungal cultures, including plant pathogenic fungi such as Penicillium italicum and Botrytis cinerea. Fungal spores or mycelia are inoculated into liquid or solid media containing serial dilutions of the compound. Antifungal activity is assessed by measuring inhibition of mycelial growth (for agar-based assays) or by determining minimum inhibitory concentrations using broth microdilution methods. Fungicidal activity is evaluated by subculturing onto drug-free media to determine the minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC).
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: IMZ male C57BL/6N mice [2]
Doses: 25, 50, 75, 100 mg/kg
Route of Administration: intraperitoneal (ip) injection; single dose
Experimental Results: Dramatically increased liver Cyp3a11 mRNA levels in a dose-dependent manner.
In vivo plant assays for enilconazole involve the treatment of infected crops or post-harvest fruits. The compound is applied as a foliar spray, dip, or drench at various concentrations. Efficacy is evaluated by assessing disease severity, measuring lesion size, or counting fungal colonies on treated versus untreated tissues. For post-harvest applications, fruits are inoculated with fungal pathogens, treated with enilconazole, and monitored for decay development during storage. Dose-response relationships and ED50 values are established from these studies.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Enilconazole is orally bioavailable and is absorbed following oral administration. It distributes into tissues and reaches therapeutic concentrations in target organs. The compound is metabolized in the liver, with metabolites excreted via urine and feces. In agricultural applications, the compound's residue persistence on treated crops is monitored to ensure compliance with maximum residue limits. Environmental fate studies assess its degradation in soil and water.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Enilconazole has a favorable toxicological profile for agricultural use, with low acute toxicity to mammals. However, it is classified as hazardous to aquatic organisms and may have endocrine-disrupting effects. Occupational exposure may cause skin and eye irritation. The compound is also known to activate mPXR in mouse livers. Chronic toxicity studies in animals have been conducted to establish acceptable daily intake levels and safety margins for human consumption of treated produce.

Additional Infomation
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), imidazolid may be carcinogenic. 1-[2-(allyloxy)-2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)ethyl]imidazolium belongs to the imidazolium class of compounds, where the hydrogen at the 1-position is replaced by 2-(allyloxy)-2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)ethyl. It belongs to the imidazolium, ether, and dichlorobenzene classes of compounds. Eniconazole has been reported to be present in Ganoderma lucidum (Reishi mushroom), and relevant data are available. Eniconazole (synonyms: imidazolid, clomiphene) is a widely used fungicide in agriculture, especially in the cultivation of citrus fruits. Trade names include Freshgard, Fungaflor, and Nuzone. See also: imidazolid sulfate (note moved to).
Enilconazole is approved for use as a fungicide in many countries. It is registered under the name imazalil for post-harvest treatment of citrus and other fruits. The compound is also used in veterinary medicine as an antifungal agent. Its mechanism involves inhibition of CYP51-mediated ergosterol biosynthesis. Regulatory maximum residue limits (MRLs) are established for enilconazole in various food commodities to ensure consumer safety.
