Chemical Description
Azoxystrobin is a fungicide used to control various fungal diseases in crops.
Description
Azoxystrobin is a second-generation broad-spectrum strobilurin fungicide with a 4,6-diphenoxypyrimidine skeleton, characterized by a cyano-substituted phenyl ring at C-2 and a 2-methoxy-1-(methoxycarbonyl)vinyl substituent on the other phenyl ring. It forms white solids with a melting point of 116°C, a vapor pressure of 1.1 × 10^-7 mPa at 25°C, a logP value of 2.5 at 20°C, and a water solubility of 6 mg/L. It has a half-life of 11 to 17 days for aqueous photolysis and is known for its ability to inhibit mitochondrial respiration by blocking electron transfer between cytochromes b and c1.
Uses
Used in Agriculture:
Azoxystrobin is used as a systemic, broad-spectrum fungicide for various crops, including cereals, rice, grapevines, apples, peaches, bananas, citrus, cucurbits, potatoes, tomatoes, peanuts, coffee, and turf. It is effective against fungal pathogens from all four taxonomic groups: Oomycetes, Ascomycetes, Deuteromycetes, and Basidiomycetes. The fungicide controls diseases such as rusts, downy and powdery mildew, rice blast, and apple scab.
Azoxystrobin has been processed as a Reduced Risk pesticide for Turf uses and was first introduced in 1998. It inhibits spore germination and is recognized for its effectiveness in controlling a wide range of fungal diseases. In California, the largest crop uses include almonds, rice, pistachios, wine grapes, raisins, and garlic. It is classified as a U.S. EPA Restricted Use Pesticide (RUP).

Potential Exposure

an agricultural fungicide.
Metabolic pathway
Azoxystrobin is a recently developed fungicide with a novel mode of
action (see Overview for relevant references). It was first registered in
1996. It has been and is being subjected to the full range of studies to meet
current regulatory requirements for toxicology, metabolism and
environmental fate. Information on its metabolism and environmental
fate was presented as a lecture at the 9th International Congress of
Pesticide Chemistry (IUPAC) in 1998 and this will be published in the
Proceedings. The information presented below is derived from this source
(Joseph, 1998).
Azoxystrobin is a carboxylic acid methyl ester and one of its pathways
of metabolism is via hydrolysis to its carboxylic acid. The latter is not
biologically active (see Overview) and the favourable selective toxicity of
the fungicide is due to this and other metabolic reactions in non-target
species. Azoxystrobin is readily degraded in soil and ultimately mineralised
and it is metabolised in plants and animals. Metabolism is complex
because the molecule possesses several functional groups. Five different
pathways have been identified in plants and animals. Biotransformations
occurring on the parent molecule include hydrolysis, aromatic hydroxylation,
cleavage of both phenoxy linkages, nitrile to amide hydrolysis and
fragmentation of the acrylate double bond. Some photo-induced changes
also occur, including conversion to the (Z)-isomer.
Metabolism
Metabolites are also rapidly degraded in soil.
Photolysis studies show a DT50 of 11 days. Due to the rapid
degradation and low soil mobility, no leaching is found in
field studies.

Required. UN3082 Environmentally hazardous substances,

hazardous material, Technical Name Required.
Toxicity evaluation
Azoxystrobin has an acute oral LD50 > 5,000 and an
acute dermal LD50 > 2,000 mg/kg in rats. Azoxystrobin
gives only slight skin and eye irritation and is nonmutagenic
and nonteratogenic. Its NOEL is 18 mg/kg
bw/day. It has no toxicity to birds in acute studies
(LD50 > 2,000 mg/kg). It is harmless to other nontarget
organisms (honey bees, earthworms, beneficial arthropods)
due to low toxicity and rapid degradation in the
environment, which minimizes exposure.
Degradation
Azoxystrobin is degraded under conditions of aqueous photolysis with a
DT50 of 11-17 days (PM).
Soil surface photolysis of azoxystrobin (14C-labelled separately in each
of the three rings) was studied on a sandy loam for a period of 30 days.
The fungicide was degraded with a DT50 measured as a mean of the three
radiolabels, of 11 days in natural summer sunlight. The degradation was
complex, affording many initial products, all at 40% of the applied
radiocarbon. These products were themselves readily photolysed and no
product accumulated during the course of the experiment. The yield of
14CO2 in 30 days was between 17% (phenylacrylate label) and 29%
(cyanophenyl label). Thus soil surface photodegradation is likely to
be an important mechanism for the removal of azoxystrobin from the
environment.
Incompatibilities
Combustible; dust may form explosive
with air. Incompatible with oxidizers (chlorates, nitrates,
peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine, bromine,
fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires or explosions. Keep
away from alkaline materials, strong bases, strong acids,
oxoacids, epoxides.
Waste Disposal
Recycle any unused portion
of the material for its approved use or return it to the manufacturer
or supplier. Dispose of contents and container to
an approved waste disposal plant. Use a licensed professional
waste disposal service to dispose of this material.
Ultimate disposal of the chemical, product, and waste containers
must consider: the material’s impact on air quality;
potential migration in soil or water; effects on animal and
plant life; and conformance with public health, local, state,
and federal health and environmental regulations. Never
reuse or recycle used product containers unless the recycling
program specifically accepts pesticide containers and
you follow the program’s instructions for preparing the
empty containers for collection
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 131860-33-8 includes 9 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 6 digits, 1,3,1,8,6 and 0 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 3 and 3 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 131860-33:
(8*1)+(7*3)+(6*1)+(5*8)+(4*6)+(3*0)+(2*3)+(1*3)=108
108 % 10 = 8
So 131860-33-8 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
