Trifloxystrobin is a new broad spectrum fungicide. It is a synthetic derivative of the naturally occurring strobilurins found in several genera of wood decaying fungi. The mode of action of trifloxystrobin involves inhibition of mitochondrial respiration by blocking electron transfer in the electron transfer chain. The fungicidal properties of trifloxystrobin are derived from the parent ester; the acid form (the main metabolite) is inactive.
