Structure-activity relationship and in silico docking analysis of dicarboximide fungicides on 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 of human, rat, and pig by Huiqian Chen, Sailing Chen, Yunbing Tang, Yingfen Ying, Shaowei Wang, Yang Zhu, Yiyan Wang, Ren-shan Ge, Ping Duan

“…Among them, captan showed the strongest potency, with its IC50 of 1.28 μM, whereas procymidone had an IC50 of 100.71 μM. However, both rat and pig 17β-HSD1 enzymes were less sensitive to the inhibition of these fungicides compared to the human enzyme, with captan displaying an IC50 of 5.65 μM for the rat enzyme and 7.36 μM for the pig enzyme. …”
