Background:

Carboxin (Carboxine) is a systemic agricultural fungicide and seed protectant.

Carboxin (Carboxine) is a systemic fungicide from the oxathiin class of agents. Carboxin demonstrates high specificity against the fungal class Basideomycetes, Deuteromycetes and Phycomycetes[1].The systemic fungicide Carboxin is a powerful inhibitor of succinate oxidation in mitochondria[2].
