| Description | Cymoxanil was first introduced in 1977. It is an acetimide compound used as both a curative and preventative foliar fungicide. In Europe it is being sold for use on grapes, potatoes, tomatoes, hops, sugarbeets and other vegetable crops. Cymoxanil is currently not registered in the U.S. Cymoxanil is a fungicide used on crops including potatoes, tomatoes, and grapes. Cymoxanil is not registered for non-crop use in any country. Cymoxanil's mode of action is as a local systemic. It penetrates rapidly and when inside the plant, it cannot be washed off by rain. It controls diseases during the incubation period and prevents the appearance of damage on the crop. The fungicide is primarily active on fungi belonging to the Peronosporales order: Phytophthora, Plasmopara, and Peronospora. |
| Physical Properties | Technical cymoxanil is a peach colored crystalline, odorless solid. |
| Toxicity | Technical cymoxanil has low acute toxicity. The acute oral LD50 is 960 mg/kg in rats. The acute dermal LD50 is >2,000 mg/kg in rabbits. The 4-hour rat inhalation LC50 is >5.06 mg/L. Minimal transient irritation of the skin and eyes was observed in rabbits. Cymoxanil did not cause skin sensitization in guinea pigs. Cymoxanil should be classified as Toxicity Category III for oral and dermal toxicity and Toxicity Category IV for inhalation toxicity and skin and eye irritation potential. Absorption, Distribution and Excretion Cymoxanil is rapidly absorbed and maximum concentrations in the blood and plasma is reached within 4 hours after dosing. Rapid and almost complete elimination of the administered radioactive dose was observed in urine and feces within 48 hours. Excretion is primarily by urine (64-75%), fecal (16-24%) and expired air (< 5%) of the administered dose. There is no significant difference in residue profiles or elimination rates between sexes, dose levels, or single or multiple dosing. No evidence of bioaccumulation was detected. DPX-T3217 is metabolized extensively and only trace level of the administered (14)C-cymoxanil was detected in the urine and feces. |

| Description | Cymoxanil is a cyanoacetamide fungicide. It inhibits the mycelial growth of 12 isolates of P. infestans with EC50 values of 0.27-0.57 μg/ml. Cymoxanil (5-100 mg/l) inhibits the growth of several strains of S. cerevisiae (IC50s = 8-25 mg/l) but not S. pombe, K. marxianus, P. anomala, or C. utilis. A spray application of cymoxanil (1 mg/mL) one day after inoculation of potato leaves with P. infestans and cucumber leaves with P. cubensis reduces blighted leaves by 79 and 60%, respectively. It is toxic to rats with an acute LD50 value of 3.8 mmol/kg. Formulations containing cymoxanil have been used to prevent fungal growth on crops and treat late potato blight in agriculture. |
| Chemical Properties | A white to peach (pale pink) crystalline solid. |
| Uses | Cymoxanil is a fungicide applied as a seed treatment or as a foliar application to the plants to control late blight. |
| Uses | Agricultural fungicide. |
| Uses | Cymoxanil is a foliar applied fungicide which provides preventiveand curative control of pathogen species of the order Peronosporales(eg. Phytophthora, Plasmopara and Peronospora) in grapes, potatoes,tomatoes, hops, tobacco and cucurbits. |
| Definition | ChEBI: A member of the class of ureas that is urea in which the two nitrogen atoms are substituted by an ethyl group and a 2-cyano-2-(methoxyimino)acetyl group respectively. A fungicide used to control Peronosporales on a range of crops including vins, hops and potatoes. |
| Agricultural Uses | Fungicide: Cymoxanil is applied as a seed treatment to cut potato seed pieces or as a foliar to control late blight. |

| Contact allergens | Cymoxanil, an urea derivative, is included (10%) with dithianone (25%) in Aktuan?. It is a fungicide agent, possibly sensitizing agricultural workers |
| Potential Exposure | Cymoxanil is a cyanoacetamide oximefungicide applied as a seed treatment to cut potato seedpieces or as a foliar to control late blight. |
| Metabolic pathway | Cymoxanil is rapidly degraded in neutral to alkaline aqueous solutionsand is metabolised extensively in soil, plants and animals. Cymoxanildegradation follows a series of cyclisation and /or hydrolysis reactions toform 5- and 6-membered ring compounds and shorter chain keto acidsand amides. In plants and animals, cymoxanil is metabolised to formnatural products, especially glycine. |
| Metabolism | Animals Radiolabeled cymoxanil is metabolized in the goat tonatural products, including fatty acids, glycerol, glycerin,and other amino acids, lactose, and acid-hydrolysableformyl and acetyl groups. Plants Rapid degradation to naturally occurring amino acids,particularly to glycine, with subsequent incorporation intoconstituent sugars, starch, fatty acids, and lignin (6). Soil In laboratory soils, DT50 0.75–1.5 d (5 soils, pH range5.7–7.8, o.m. 0.8–3.5%). In the field, DT50 (bare soil)0.9–9 d. |

| Degradation | The hydrolysis of cymoxanil is pH dependent. It degraded rapidly inalkaline solution at 25 °C with calculated DT50 values at pH 5,7 and 9, of148 days, 34 hours and 31 minutes, respectively (PM). The principalhydrolysis products at pH 9 were 1-ethyldihydro-dimino-2,4,5(3H)-pyrimidinetrione 5-(O-methyloxime) (2), cyano(methoxyimino)acetic acid(3) and [[(ethylamino)carbonyl]amino]oxoacetic acid (4). Oxalic(5) andaminooxoacetic acid (6) were recovered as minor products. The principaldegradation products at pH 7 were compounds 2 and 4. No hydrolyticproducts at pH 5 exceeded 10% of the applied radioactivity throughoutthe 30-day incubation (Lawler, 1996). Photolysis of cymoxanil occurred rapidly at pH 5 when irradiatedunder a xenon arc light source. The DT50 values of cymoxanil at 25 °C were 1.8 and 148 days, light exposed vs. dark control, respectively. 3-Ethyl-4-(methoxyamino)-2,5-dioxo-4-imidazolidinecarbonitrile(7) and 1-ethyl-imidazolidinetrione5-(O-methyloxime) (8) were the major degradationproducts. Compounds 2, 4, 6 and ethylimidazolidinetrione (9) werealso present as minor products (Anderson et al., 1993). The hydrolyticdegradation and photolytic degradation pathways of cymoxanil are presentedin Scheme 1. |
