Triadimefon is a fungicide used in agriculture to control various fungal diseases. As a seed treatment, it is used on barley, corn, cotton, oats, rye, sorghum, and wheat. [2] In fruit it is used on pineapple and banana. [2] Non-food uses include pine seedlings, Christmas trees, turf, ornamental plants, and landscaping. [2]
Estrogenic effect, inhibition of aromatase activity, decrease of estrogens production and increase androgens availability. [3]
Triadimefon potently inhibited rat’s neurosteroidogenic enzymes, 5α-Red1 and 3α-HSD. [4]
Dopamine as well as serotonergic pathways are involved. [5] [6]
