Used primarily in agricultural chemistry as a fungicidal agent, this compound demonstrates strong activity against a range of phytopathogenic fungi, particularly those affecting crops in humid environments. Its structure enables effective disruption of fungal cell membrane synthesis, making it valuable in the development of systemic fungicides. It is often incorporated into seed treatments and foliar sprays to protect cereals, fruits, and vegetables from fungal infections such as powdery mildew and rusts. Additionally, due to its lipophilic nature, it exhibits good tissue penetration and residual activity, enhancing its effectiveness over time. Research also explores its potential in medicinal chemistry for antifungal applications in humans, though such uses remain experimental.
