Metyltetraprole
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Metyltetraprole is a QoI fungicide containing a tetrazolinone pharmacophore that binds to the Qo site of the cytochrome bc1 complex (complex III), blocks D-Panthenol (HY-B1391) oxidation, and inhibits mitochondrial electron transport, while retaining antifungal activity against QoI-resistant isolates and exhibiting broad-spectrum antifungal effects. Metyltetraprole is used in the study of wheat Septoria leaf blotch, net blotch, cucumber downy mildew, and powdery mildew.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
Metyltetraprole (0.000061-1 ppm; 5 days) exhibits equally potent in vitro activity against both wild-type and G143A mutant Zymoseptoria tritici strains, with an EC50 of 0.002 ppm for both[2].
Metyltetraprole (1 ppm; 20 min) binds to the Qo site of the cytochrome bc1 complex in the submitochondrial fraction of Zymoseptoria tritici[2].
Metyltetraprole is slightly more sensitive to QoI-R strains that may carry the G143A mutation than to QoI-S strains of Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, whereas no effect is observed in Ramularia collo-cygni[3].
Metyltetraprole (0.0003-3 mg/L; 3 days for P. tritici-repentis and 7 days for V. effusa) retains potent inhibitory activity against QoI-resistant Pyrenophora tritici-repentis and Venturia effusa isolates carrying non-wild-type cytochrome b haplotypes, with resistance factors ranging from 0.7 to 2.9[4].
Metyltetraprole (0.0001-10 mg/L; 2 h and 18 h) retains potent inhibitory activity against Puccinia horiana carrying the L299F, N256S + L299F, and L275F + L299F cytochrome b substitutions, with resistance factors ranging from 0.7 to 2.9[4].
Metyltetraprole exhibits potent inhibitory activity against Saccharomyces cerevisiae CIII with a Ki of 0.92 nM and an IC50 of 0.001 μM, but shows significantly lower activity against porcine CIII with a Ki of 298.87 nM and an IC50 of 0.312 μM[5].
Metyltetraprole binds to the Qo site in Saccharomyces cerevisiae CIII, but binds to the Qi site in porcine CIII, indicating species-specific differences in the binding site[5].
Metyltetraprole acts as a Pm-type inhibitor at the Qo site in Saccharomyces cerevisiae CIII, whereas in porcine CIII, it functions as a dual-target inhibitor that binds to both the Qo and Qi sites[5].
Metyltetraprole maintains its binding mode and retains a favorable binding energy of -49.20 kcal/mol with the G143A mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae CIII, resulting in a low resistance factor of 1.6[5].
Metyltetraprole (0.0001-3 mg/L) effectively inhibits the in vitro growth of Zymoseptoria tritici (EC50 0.0022 mg/L), Ramularia collo-cygni (EC50 0.0020 mg/L), Parastagonospora nodorum (EC50 0.0025 mg/L), and Ustilago maydis (EC50 0.040 mg/L)[6].
Metyltetraprole (0.0001-3 mg/L) effectively inhibits the growth of Pyrenophora teres in vitro (EC50 0.0048 mg/L), while showing lower activity against basidiomycetes and oomycetes[6].
Metyltetraprole (0.0001-3 mg/L) retains potent antifungal activity against field isolates of Zymoseptoria tritici and Pyrenophora teres that are resistant to other fungicide classes, with EC50 values ranging from 0.0025 to 0.0088 mg L−1 for Z. tritici and from 0.007 to 0.015 mg L−1 for P. teres[6].

In Vivo
Metyltetraprole (0.1-10 µg/L; immersion; 7 consecutive days) alters the expression of mitochondrial electron transport chain genes, in which mt-nd3 is upregulated at 1 µg/L, while uqcrc2 expression decreases in a dose-dependent manner[1].
