Penflufen Explained

Penflufen is a fungicide which was produced and patented by Bayer AG in 2006 and is used for crop protection from fungi.[1] [2] Penflufen is a new generation succinate-dehydrogenase inhibitor, which blocks the electron transport at complex II in the mitochondrial respiration chain.[3] The European Chemical Agency (ECHA) has also approved the use of penflufen as a biocide in wood preservation while labelling it to be a suspected carcinogen.[4]
