Description
Imazalil, also known as Enilconazole, is a slightly yellow to brown solidified oil with non-corrosive properties. It is a kind of topical mycotic agent primarily used for the treatment of fungal infections. Imazalil works by suppressing the biosynthesis pathway of ergosterol through blocking the demethylation process, making it an effective fungicide.
Uses
Used in Agriculture:
Imazalil is used as a systemic fungicide for the control of a wide range of fungal diseases on fruit, vegetables, and ornamentals. It is particularly effective against powdery mildew on roses and storage diseases of citrus fruit, pome fruit, bananas, and seed potatoes. It is also used as a seed dressing for the control of diseases in cereals, particularly against Fusarium and Helminthosporium spp.
Used in Animal Health:
Imazalil is used for the treatment of Microsporum spp and Aspergillus spp infections in dogs, either as a single topical agent or in combination with oral administrated itraconazole or griseofulvin.
Used as a Disinfectant:
Imazalil is used as a disinfectant for stable and kennel equipment, as well as an experimental agricultural fungicide.
Used in Fungal Infection Control:
Formulations containing imazalil have been used to control fungal infection in agriculture, particularly for crops affected by fungi attracted to tubers, such as Fusarium spp, Phoma spp, and Helminthosporium solani.
Used in Inhibiting Fungal Growth:
Imazalil is an imidazole fungicide that inhibits the growth of various fungi in vitro, including P. italicum, A. niger, U. maydis, B. alii, and C. cucumerinum in a pH-dependent manner. It also inhibits S. cerevisiae and has been shown to activate the murine pregnane X receptor (PXR) in a concentration-dependent manner, increasing hepatic CYP3A11 and CYP2B10 mRNA levels in mice when administered at a dose of 100 mg/kg.

When heated to decomposition it emits
toxic fumes of Cland NOx.
Veterinary Drugs and Treatments
Although no dosage forms are currently commercially available for topical use in the USA, Enilconazole is used topically for treating dermatophytosis
in small animals and horses using compounded products. A commercially available topical rinse Imaverol? (Janssen) 10% is
available with canine, bovine and equine use labeling in many countries. Intranasal instillation of enilconazole after plaque debridement
has also been shown useful in treating nasal aspergillosis in small animals.
Use of topical enilconazole on cats with dermatophytosis is somewhat controversial as there are apparently no products with feline
labeling available in Europe or Canada. There are preliminary reports of safely and successfully using enilconazole on dermatophytic cats
in combination with oral itraconazole.
A topical product and a poultry environmental disinfectant product (Clinafarm EC?) is available in the USA. It is technically illegal to
use this product other than it is labeled; it is an EPA licensed product in the USA.
Metabolic pathway
Published information is available on the metabolism of imazalil in plants
and soils. The principal metabolite in plants and soils is 1-[2-(2,4-
dichlorophenyl)-2-hydroxyethyl]-1H-imidazole.
Degradation
Imazalil is very stable to hydrolysis in dilute acids and alkalis at room
temperature, in the absence of light. It is also stable to light under normal
storage conditions.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 35554-44-0 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 3,5,5,5 and 4 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 4 and 4 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 35554-44:
(7*3)+(6*5)+(5*5)+(4*5)+(3*4)+(2*4)+(1*4)=120
120 % 10 = 0
So 35554-44-0 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

Compared with the prior art, the methodhas the advantages of quick reaction speed, high yield, mild conditions, low equipment requirements, simple and convenient operation, green, and safety, is especially suitable for industrial enlargedproduction, and has an important industrial application value; and the cost advantage is prominent.
Enilconazole preparation method
-
Paragraph 0023-0034, (2018/07/30)
The invention discloses an enilconazole preparation method which comprises the following steps: putting 2,4-dichloro-2'-chloroacetophenone, a reducing agent, an organic alkali and a catalyst into a reaction container, controlling the temperature to 65-75 DEG C, enabling the components to react for 8-10 hours, concentrating, adding sodium hydroxide, dimethylacetamide and imidazole, enabling the components to react for 4-6 hours at 95-105 DEG C, cooling, dropping allyl chloride, enabling the components to react for 5-7 hours at 100-110 DEG C, and performing elutriation extraction filtration so as to obtain a crude enilconazole product; crystallizing the crude product with ethanol, and drying, thereby obtaining a dried enilconazole product, wherein the reducing agent is formic acid or isopropanol, and the catalyst is RuCl2(pph3)3. Due to adoption of the catalyst and the gentle reducing agent, the method has the advantages of being high in yield, small in impurity and gentle in reaction when being compared with common methods with sodium borohydride, and has the potential of industrial production.
Aliphatic ethers of 1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-(1-H-imidazolyl)ethanol: Influence of ramification and/or unsaturation on lipophilicity and antifungal activity
Tournaire-Arellano,Stigliani,Recoche,Caujolle,Payard,Linas,Seguela
, p. 1001 - 1007 (2007/10/03)
Ethers of 1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-(1-H-imidazolyl)ethanol bearing influence ramification and/or unsaturated chains have been synthesized in order to specify the role of lipophilicity or steric contributions on antifungal activity against yeast for miconazole-like structures. The presence of ramifications on aliphatic chains (between 4 and 7 carbons) or unsaturation at the end, increases antifungal activity. For these compounds, lipophilicity seems to be counterbalanced by steric contributions.
