Notes: Fenhexamid is a fungicide.{65143,43093} It inhibits germ-tube elongation and mycelial growth of several strains of the plant pathogenic fungus B. cinerea (EC50s = 0.13-8.3 and 0.03-16.5 µM, respectively).{65143} Fenhexamid inhibits 3-ketoreductase (IC50 = 3 µM for the B. cinerea enzyme), is an estrogen receptor α (ERα) agonist (EC50 = 9 µM in a yeast reporter assay), and inhibits the androgenic effect of dihydrotestosterone in MDA-kb2 cells (IC20 = 2.02 µM).{65143,42439,42005} It increases the proliferation and migration of BG1 ovarian cancer cells when used at a concentration of 10 µM.{37610} In field studies, fenhexamid applied at 842 g AI/ha provides 27.3 and 13.9% disease control for lettuce drop caused by S. minor or S. sclerotiorum, respectively.{43093} Formulations containing fenhexamid have been used as fungicides in agriculture.
