Fluoxapiprolin, a novel piperidinyl thiazole isoxazoline fungicide, was developed by Bayer Crop Science in 2012. Despite its well-documented inhibitory activity against plant pathogenic oomycetes such as Phytophthora capsici and Phytophthora infestans, limited information regarding its antifungal spectrum and protective and curative activity is available. Fluoxapiprolin exhibited strong inhibitory activity against Phytophthora spp. and several Pythium spp., with EC 50 values ranging from 2.12 × 10 -4 to 2.92 μg/mL. It was much more effective against P. capsici in inhibiting mycelial growth, sporangium production, and cystospore germination than at reducing zoospore release. Moreover, fluoxapiprolin displayed both protective and curative activity against P. capsici infection in pepper plants under greenhouse conditions, with systemic translocation capability confirmed by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) analysis. The results demonstrated the strong inhibitory activity of fluoxapiprolin against economically important plant oomycete pathogens, including Phytophthora spp. and several Pythium spp., and its certain translocation activity in pepper plants.
