CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 361:142404. [PMID: 38782131 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142404] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2024] [Revised: 05/12/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
The enantioselective environmental behavior of difenoconazole, a widely utilized triazole fungicide commonly detected in agricultural soils, has yet to be comprehensively explored within the earthworm-soil system. To address this research gap, we investigated the bioaccumulation and elimination kinetics, degradation pathways, biotransformation mechanisms, spatial distribution, and toxicity of chiral difenoconazole. The four stereoisomers of difenoconazole were baseline separated and analyzed using SFC-MS/MS. Pronounced enantioselectivity was observed during the uptake phase, with earthworms exhibiting a preference for (2R,4R)-difenoconazole and (2R,4S)-difenoconazole. A total of five transformation products (TPs) were detected and identified using UHPLC-QTOF/MS in the earthworm-soil system. Four of the TPs were detected in both earthworm and soil, and one TP was produced only in eaerthwroms. Hydrolysis and hydroxylation were the primary transformation pathways of difenoconazole in both earthworms and soil. Furthermore, a chiral TP, 3-chloro, 4-hydroxy difenoconazole, was generated with significant enantioselectivity, and molecular docking results indicate the greater catalytic bioactivity of (2R,4R)- and (2R,4S)-difenoconazole, leading to the preferential formation of their corresponding hydroxylated TPs. Furthermore, Mass Spectrometry Imaging (MSI) was applied for the first time to explore the spatial distribution of difenoconazole and the TPs in earthworms, and the "secretory zone" was found to be the dominant region to uptake and biodegrade difenoconazole. ECOSAR predictions highlighted the potentially hazardous impact of most difenoconazole TPs on aquatic ecosystems. These findings are important for understanding the environmental fate of difenoconazole, evaluating environmental risks, and offering valuable insights for guiding scientific bioremediation efforts.

Some evidence supporting the use of optically pure R-(-)-diniconazole: Toxicokinetics and configuration conversion on chiral diniconazole. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 937:173475. [PMID: 38795985 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.173475] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2024] [Revised: 04/14/2024] [Accepted: 05/21/2024] [Indexed: 05/28/2024]
Abstract
Diniconazole is a chiral pesticide that exists in two enantiomers, R-(-)-diniconazole and S-(+)-diniconazole, with the R-enantiomer being much more active than the S-enantiomer. Previous enantioselective toxicology studies of diniconazole focused mostly on simple environmental model organisms. In this study, we evaluated the toxicokinetics of the two diniconazole enantiomers in rats and mice to provide a more comprehensive risk assessment. The two enantiomers displayed clear differences in their stereoselective contents in vivo. The t1/2 of R-(-)-diniconazole was 7.06 ± 3.35 h, whereas that of S-(+)-diniconazole was 9.14 ± 4.60 h, indicating that R-(-)-diniconazole was eliminated faster in vivo. The excretion rates of R-(-)-diniconazole and S-(+)-diniconazole were 4.08 ± 0.50 % and 2.68 ± 0.58 %, respectively, indicating more excretion of R-(-)-diniconazole. S-(+)-diniconazole had a higher bioavailability than R-(-)-diniconazole (52.19 % vs. 42.44 %). S-(+)-Diniconazole was also found in relatively high abundance in tissues such as the stomach, large intestine, small intestine, cecum, liver, kidney, brain, and testes, with the abundance being 1.71-2.48-fold that of R-(-)-diniconazole. The selective degradation of both enantiomers in the tissues and their mutual conversion in vivo were not observed, and this could indicate that configuration conversion did not contribute to the differences in the content of enantiomers in the tissues. Instead, such differences were mainly caused by the differences in affinity of each enantiomer for the tissues. Furthermore, investigation of the interconversion between optically pure R-(-)-diniconazole and S-(+)-diniconazole monomers in soil revealed no interconversion. All of the above results indicated no interconversion between R-(-)-diniconazole and S-(+)-diniconazole in vivo and in the soil, and that S-(+)-diniconazole tends to have a greater potential to accumulate in vivo. Thus, if only R-(-)-diniconazole is used as a pesticide, the negative impact on mammals and the environment will be reduced, suggesting that in agriculture, the application of optically pure R-(-)-diniconazole may be a better strategy.

Abstract
The occurrence of maize ear rot caused by Fusarium verticillioides (F. verticillioides) poses a threat to the yield and quality of maize. Mefentrifluconazole enantiomers appear to have strong stereoselective activity against F. verticillioides and cause differences in fumonisin production. We evaluated the stereoselective activity of mefentrifluconazole enantiomers by determining inhibition of the strain, hyphae, and conidia. Strain inhibition by R-(-)-mefentrifluconazole was 241 times higher than S-(+)-mefentrifluconazole and 376 times higher in conidia inhibition. For the mechanism of the enantioselective bioactivity, R-mefentrifluconazole had stronger binding to proteins than S-(+)-mefentrifluconazole. Under several concentration conditions, the fumonisin concentration was 1.3-24.9-fold higher in the R-(-)-mefentrifluconazole treatment than in the S-(+)-mefentrifluconazole treatment. The R-enantiomer stimulated fumonisin despite a higher bioactivity. As the incubation time increased, the stimulation of the enantiomers on fumonisin production decreased. R-(-)-Mefentrifluconazole stimulated higher fumonisin production in F. verticillioides at 25 °C compared to 30 °C. This study established a foundation for the development of high-efficiency and low-risk pesticides.

Abstract
Potato virus Y (PVY) is an important plant virus that has spread worldwide, causing significant economic losses. To search for novel structures as potent antiviral agents, a series of chiral indole derivatives containing oxazoline moieties were designed and synthesized and their anti-PVY activities were evaluated. Biological activity tests demonstrated that many chiral compounds exhibited promising anti-PVY activities and that their absolute configurations exhibited obvious distinctions in antiviral bioactivities. Notably, compound (S)-4v displayed excellent curative and protective efficacy against PVY, with EC50 values of 328.6 and 256.1 μg/mL, respectively, which were superior to those of commercial virucide ningnanmycin (NNM, 437.4 and 397.4 μg/mL, respectively). The preliminary antiviral mechanism was investigated to determine the difference in antiviral activity between the two enantiomers of 4v chiral compounds. Molecular docking indicated a stronger binding affinity between the coating proteins of PVY (PVY-CP) and (S)-4v (-6.5 kcal/mol) compared to (R)-4v (-6.2 kcal/mol). Additionally, compound (S)-4v can increase the chlorophyll content and defense-related enzyme activities more effectively than its enantiomer. Therefore, this study provides an important basis for the development of chiral indole derivatives containing oxazoline moieties as novel agricultural chemicals.

Abstract
Pesticide formulations are typically applied as mixtures, and their synergistic effects can increase toxicity to the organisms in the environment. Despite pesticide mixtures being the leading cause of pesticide exposure incidents, little attention has been given to assessing their combined toxicity and interactions. This survey purposed to reveal the cumulative toxic effects of deltamethrin (DEL) and cyazofamid (CYA) on earthworms (Eisenia fetida) by examining multiple endpoints. Our findings revealed that the LC50 values of DEL for E. fetida, following 7- and 14-day exposures, ranged from 887.7 (728-1095) to 1552 (1226-2298) mg kg-1, while those of CYA ranged from 316.8 (246.2-489.4) to 483.2 (326.1-1202) mg kg-1. The combinations of DEL and CYA induced synergistic influences on the organisms. The contents of Cu/Zn-SOD and CarE showed significant variations when exposed to DEL, CYA, and their combinations compared to the untreated group. Furthermore, the mixture administration resulted in more pronounced alterations in the expression of five genes (hsp70, tctp, gst, mt, and crt) associated with cellular stress, carcinogenesis, detoxification, and endoplasmic reticulum compared to single exposures. In conclusion, our comprehensive findings provided detailed insights into the cumulative toxic effects of chemical mixtures across miscellaneous endpoints and concentration ranges. These results underscored the importance of considering mixture administration during ecological risk evaluations of chemicals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Brown rot disease, caused by Monilinia fructicola, poses a significant challenge to peach production in China. The efficacy of mefentrifluconazole, a new triazole fungicide, in controlling brown rot in peaches has been remarkable. However, the resistance risk and mechanism associated with this fungicide remain unclear. This study was designed to assess the resistance risk of M. fructicola to mefentrifluconazole and reveal the potential resistance mechanism. RESULTS The mean median effective concentration (EC50 ) of 101 M. fructicola isolates to mefentrifluconazole was 0.003 μg mL-1 , and the sensitivity exhibited a unimodal distribution. Seven mefentrifluconazole-resistant mutants were generated from three parental isolates in the laboratory through fungicide adaption. The biological characteristics of the resistant mutants revealed that three of them exhibited enhanced survival fitness compared to the parental isolates, whereas the remaining four mutants displayed reduced survival fitness. Mefentrifluconazole showed strong positive cross-resistance with fenbuconazole, whereas no cross-resistance was observed with pyrimethanil, procymidone or pydiflumetofen. No overexpression of MfCYP51 gene was detected in the resistant mutants. Multiple sequence alignment revealed that three resistant mutants (MXSB2-2, Mf12-1 and Mf12-2) had a point mutation (G461S) in MfCYP51 protein. Molecular docking techniques confirmed the contribution of this point mutation to mefentrifluconazole resistance. CONCLUSION The risk of M. fructicola developing resistance to mefentrifluconazole is relatively low-to-medium and point mutation G461S in MfCYP51 could confer mefentrifluconazole resistance in M. fructicola. This study provided essential data for monitoring the emergence of resistance and developing resistance management strategies for mefentrifluconazole. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Continued application of new chiral fungicide mefentrifluconazole (MFZ) increases its risk to soil ecosystem. However, the toxicity of MFZ enantiomers to soil fauna and whether stereoselectivity exists remains poorly elucidated. Based on multilevel toxicity endpoints and transcriptomics, we investigated the negative effects of racemic, R-(-)-, and S-(+)-MFZ on Eisenia fetida. After exposure to S-(+) configuration at 4 mg/kg for 28 day, its reactive oxygen species levels were elevated by 15.4% compared to R-(-) configuration, inducing enantiospecific oxidative stress and transcriptional aberrations. The S-(+) isomer induced more severe cell membrane damage and apoptosis than the R-(-) isomer, and notably, the selectivity of apoptosis is probably dominated by the mitochondrial pathway. Mechanistically, differential mitochondrial stress lies in: S-(+) isomer specifically up-regulated mitochondrial cellular component compared to R-(-) isomer and identified more serious mitochondrial fission. Furthermore, S-(+) conformation down-regulated biological processes associated with ATP synthesis and metabolism, with specific inhibition of mitochondrial respiratory electron transport chain complex I and IV activity resulting in more severe electron flow disturbances. These ultimately mediated enantioselective ontogenetic process disorders, which were supported at phenotypic (weight loss), genetic, and protein (reverse modulate TCTP and Sox2 expression) levels. Our findings offer an important reference for elucidating the enantioselective toxicological mechanism of MFZ in soil fauna.

Abstract
Fungicides have been widely used for reducing the losses caused by plant diseases. Rice and wheat are the most basic food crops, and the potential risks after applying fungicides are worthy of attention. Especially rice-fish farming system is an ecological symbiosis system that is beneficial to both environmental and ecological protection. However, the application of pesticides will stress the ecosystem, and the pesticide residues in rice and fish would be transmitted along the food chain, which is harmful to human health. Here, the enantioselective behaviors of chiral pydiflumetofen in rice-fish and wheat farming systems were clarified. In the rice-fish farming system, pydiflumetofen enantiomers were preferentially attached to the plants, entering the paddy water and settling into the paddy soil, and then accumulating and dissipating in the fish. With the growth of rice, it was transported to rice fruits. The wheat farming system was similar. Enantioselective dissipation occurred in carp (Cyprinus carpio), brown rice and wheat soil, and S-(+)-pydiflumetofen was preferentially dissipated. In other words, R-(-)-pydiflumetofen showed higher concentrations, especially in carp, which meant R-(-)-pydiflumetofen was more easily accumulated in the environment, and posed a greater potential risk to the farming system. The pydiflumetofen residues in brown rice and wheat were lower than MRLs from the EFSA (0.02 mg/kg) and eCFR (0.3 mg/kg), respectively. What deserves attention is that the MRL of pydiflumetofen in fish is not clear. Meanwhile, pydiflumetofen in paddy soil and wheat soil had a persistent residual effect, and the risks could not be ignored. Combined with the previous research, developing S-(+)-pydiflumetofen products will help to reduce the dosage and reduce the risks to environment and people. This study evaluated the environmental fate and risk of chiral pydiflumetofen from the perspective of farming system, and would provide data support for its rational use and risk assessment.

Abstract
Chiral pesticides have the special chiral structures, so enantioselective biological effects are usually observed in living organisms. Current study used paclobutrazol as a case study and explored the enantioselective degradation and oxidative stress effect on wheat. The results demonstrated that the degradation of R-paclobutrazol was faster than S-paclobutrazol significantly and improved the content of MDA and O2 - in wheat plants, which proved that the R-paclobutrazol induced oxidative damage in wheat, showing selective biological effects, and S-paclobutrazol was friendly to wheat. This study provided a theoretical basis for the selective activity of chiral pesticides and the development of chiral pesticide monomers.

Abstract
Cyproconazole is a representative and widely used triazole fungicide with four stereoisomers, which will bring some risks to non-target organisms. A fast analytical method on supercritical fluid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was established in 4 min, and the environmental hazards of chiral cyproconazole were studied in earthworm-soil microcosm, including stereoselective bioaccumulation and dissipation. In the process of bioaccumulation, the concentrations of cyproconazole stereoisomers in earthworms showed a trend of increasing first and then reaching a stable state at 6 mg/kg treatment, which was different from those at 0.6 mg/kg treatment (decease-increase-equilibrium). The concentration order was (2S,3R)- > (2S,3S)- > (2R,3R)- > (2R,3S)-cyproconazole and (2S,3S)- ≈ (2S,3R)- > (2R,3R)- > (2R,3S)-cyproconazole at 6 and 0.6 mg/kg treatments, respectively. The bioaccumulation factor (BAF) values were in the range of 0.018-0.55, showing weakly relative accumulation capacity. The dissipation of cyproconazole stereoisomers in artificial soil accorded with the first-order kinetics equation, and the half-lives were 20.1-23.6 and 7.66-8.28 days at 6 and 0.6 mg/kg treatments, respectively, without stereoselectivity and diastereoselectivity. In earthworms, the dissipation half-lives were 5.81-6.01 days with the preferential dissipation of (2R,3R)-cyproconazole. The study would help with the rational uses and risk assessments of cyproconazole.

Resistance risk assessment of mefentrifluconazole in Corynespora cassiicola and the control of cucumber target spot by a two-way mixture of mefentrifluconazole and prochloraz. PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2024; 198:105719.

Abstract
The cucumber target spot, caused by Corynespora cassiicola, is a major cucumber disease in China. Mefentrifluconazole, a new triazole fungicide, exhibits remarkable efficacy in controlling cucumber target spot. However, the resistance risk and mechanism remain unclear. In this study, the inhibitory activity of mefentrifluconazole against 101 C. cassiicola isolates was determined, and the results indicated that the EC50 values ranged between 0.15 and 12.85 μg/mL, with a mean of 4.76 μg/mL. Fourteen mefentrifluconazole-resistant mutants of C. cassiicola were generated from six parental isolates in the laboratory through fungicide adaptation or UV irradiation. The resistance was relatively stable after ten consecutive transfers on a fungicide-free medium. No cross-resistance was observed between mefentrifluconazole and pyraclostrobin, fluopyram, prochloraz, mancozeb, or difenoconazole. Investigations into the biological characteristics of the resistant mutants revealed that six resistant mutants exhibited an enhanced compound fitness index (CFI) compared to the parental isolates, while others displayed a reduced or comparable CFI. The overexpression of CcCYP51A and CcCYP51B was detected in the resistant mutants, regardless of the presence or absence of mefentrifluconazole. Additionally, a two-way mixture of mefentrifluconazole and prochloraz at a concentration of 7:3 demonstrated superior control efficacy against the cucumber target spot, achieving a protection rate of 80%. In conclusion, this study suggests that the risk of C. cassiicola developing resistance to mefentrifluconazole is medium, and the overexpression of CcCYP51A and CcCYP51B might be associated with mefentrifluconazole resistance in C. cassiicola. The mefentrifluconazole and prochloraz two-way mixture presented promising control efficacy against the cucumber target spot.

Abstract
As the first isopropanol chiral triazole fungicide, mefentrifluconazole has broad prospects for application. In this study, the stereoselective stability, bioactivity, fate, and biotoxicity were systematically investigated. Our results indicated that the stability of mefentrifluconazole enantiomers differed between environmental media, and they were stable in water and sediment in the dark. The bactericidal activity of R-mefentrifluconazole against the four target pathogens was 4.6-43 times higher than that of S-mefentrifluconazole. In the water-sediment system, S-mefentrifluconazole dissipated faster than R-mefentrifluconazole in water; however, its accumulation capacity was higher than that of R-mefentrifluconazole in sediment and zebrafish. S-Mefentrifluconazole induced more differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in zebrafish than did R-mefentrifluconazole. Multiomics sequencing results showed that S-mefentrifluconazole enhanced the antioxidant, detoxification, immune, and metabolic functions of zebrafish by interacting with related proteins. Based on AlphaFold2 modeling and molecular docking, mefentrifluconazole enantiomers had different binding modes with key target proteins in pathogens and zebrafish, which may be the main reason for the stereoselective differences in bioactivity and biotoxicity. Based on its excellent bioactivity and low biotoxicity, the R-enantiomer can be developed to improve the bioactivity and reduce the risk of mefentrifluconazole.

Wheat straw pyrochar more efficiently decreased enantioselective uptake of dinotefuran by lettuce and dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes than hydrochar in an agricultural soil.

Abstract
Remediation of soils pollution caused by dinotefuran, a chiral pesticide, is indispensable for ensuring human food security. In comparison with pyrochar, the effect of hydrochar on enantioselective fate of dinotefuran, and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) profiles in the contaminated soils remain poorly understood. Therefore, wheat straw hydrochar (SHC) and pyrochar (SPC) were prepared at 220 and 500 °C, respectively, to investigate their effects and underlying mechanisms on enantioselective fate of dinotefuran enantiomers and metabolites, and soil ARG abundance in soil-plant ecosystems using a 30-day pot experiment planted with lettuce. SPC showed a greater reduction effect on the accumulation of R- and S-dinotefuran and metabolites in lettuce shoots than SHC. This was mainly resulted from the lowered soil bioavailability of R- and S-dinotefuran due to adsorption/immobilization by chars, together with the char-enhanced pesticide-degrading bacteria resulted from increased soil pH and organic matter content. Both SPC and SHC efficiently reduced ARG levels in soils, owing to lowered abundance of ARG-carrying bacteria and declined horizontal gene transfer induced by decreased dinotefuran bioavailability. The above results provide new insights for optimizing char-based sustainable technologies to mitigate pollution of dinotefuran and spread of ARGs in agroecosystems.

Abstract
The stereoisomers of chiral SDHIs were prepared using Autoprep HPLC and chiral columns. The method of combining theoretical calculation with experimental determination was used to confirm the absolute configuration of stereoisomer. SFC-MS/MS and four kinds of chiral columns were used to separate the eight chiral SDHIs, and they could be separated simultaneously using OD-3 column in 6.5 min. The integrated QuEChERS strategy was used to analyse the chiral SDHIs in foods of plant and animal origin, and the average recoveries ranged from 71 % to 119 % with RSD ≤ 18 %, and the LOQ was 1 ng/g. There were 99.2 % and 63.6 % matrix effects were in the range of 0.8-1.2 in foods of plant and animal origin, respectively, showing weak matrix effects. The study provided methods for monitoring chiral SDHIs stereoisomers residues, which were crucial for stereoselective evaluations and improving risk assessments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sclerotium rolfsii, the causal agent of peanut southern blight, has become increasingly prevalent and harmful in China, causing serious economic losses to the peanut industry. To effectively manage peanut southern blight, this study evaluated the bioactivity of the new-generation sterol demethylation inhibitor (DMI) fungicide mefentrifluconazole against peanut S. rolfsii. RESULTS In this study, the DMI fungicide mefentrifluconazole exhibited excellent inhibitory activity against the mycelial growth of S. rolfsii, with a mean EC50 value of 0.21 ± 0.11 mg L-1 and a range of 0.02 to 0.55 mg L-1 for 261 isolates collected from Hebei, Henan and Shandong provinces. Mefentrifluconazole significantly reduced the biomass of mycelia and affected the morphology of hyphae. Although sclerotia were more tolerant to mefentrifluconazole than mycelial growth, mefentrifluconazole greatly inhibited the formation and germination of sclerotia. In addition, sclerotia produced by mefentrifluconazole-treated mycelia were deficient in nutrients (e.g., protein, carbohydrate and lipid). These results indicated that mefentrifluconazole may reduce the population of S. rolfsii in the following year. In greenhouse experiments, mefentrifluconazole showed control efficacy and good persistence against peanut S. rolfsii. The preventative and curative activities of mefentrifluconazole at 200 mg L-1 against southern blight still reached 95.36% and 60.94%, respectively, after 9 days of application. No correlation was observed for the sensitivity of S. rolfsii to mefentrifluconazole and the tested DMI, quinone outside inhibitor and succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor fungicides. CONCLUSION All data indicated that mefentrifluconazole could provide favorable control efficacy against S. rolfsii from peanuts and reduce the infection and population of S. rolfsii in the following year. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Fusarium ear rot (FER) is a serious fungal disease occurring the late growth stage of maize. FER not only reduces the yield of maize but also causes mycotoxin contamination, which affects the quality of maize and threatens human and animal health. Fusarium verticillioides is the predominant causative pathogen of FER worldwide. At present, there is no registered fungicide for use against maize FER in China. The novel isopropyl alcohol-triazole fungicide mefentrifluconazole (MFZ) has been shown to be effective against several Fusarium spp., but little is known about its specific activity against F. verticillioides. MFZ exhibited strong antifungal activities against 50 strains of F. verticillioides collected from the major maize-growing areas in China. MFZ inhibited mycelial growth, conidium production, germination and germ tube elongation of F. verticillioides. MFZ treatment significantly reduced fumonisin production and the expression levels of fumonisin biosynthetic genes. Genome-wide transcriptional profiling of F. verticillioides in response to MFZ indicated that the expression of genes involved in ergosterol biosynthesis, including fungicide target genes (cyp51 genes), was significantly downregulated by MFZ. MFZ treatment resulted in reduced ergosterol production and increased glycerol and malonaldehyde production as well as relative conductivity in F. verticillioides. A 2-year field experiment showed a significant reduction in FER severity in maize after spraying with MFZ at the tasseling stage. This study evaluated the potential of MFZ to control FER in maize and provides insights into its antifungal activities and mechanism of action against F. verticillioides.

Abstract
In this work, the enantioselective bioaccumulation and dissipation of uniconazole enantiomers in earthworm-soil microcosm were studied. A fast enantioseparation method of uniconazole through supercritical fluid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (SFC-MS/MS) was established. The CHIRALCEL OZ-3 column and a mixture of CO2 and methanol (80:20, v/v) were used within 1.0 min to separate uniconazole enantiomers. The recoveries of uniconazole enantiomers in earthworm and soil samples ranged from 83.3 to 113%, and the intra-day and inter-day relative standard deviation values were lower than 11%. In earthworms, the bioaccumulation concentrations of uniconazole enantiomers increased with time and reached the maximum on the 7th day and then decreased. The elimination of uniconazole enantiomers in earthworms followed the first-order kinetics equation, and the elimination half-lives were approximately 7 days. In artificial soil, the dissipation of uniconazole enantiomers was slow, and the dissipation half-lives were both 25.7 days. No enantioselectivity occurred in the earthworm-soil microcosm. These results may reduce the uncertainty of environmental risk assessment for uniconazole.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Triazole resistance in the human fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus has been a growing challenge in clinic treatment with triazole drugs such as itraconazole. The fast evolvement of triazole resistance in A. fumigatus in the ecosystem has drawn great attention, and there has been a possible link between the application of triazole fungicides in agriculture and triazole resistance in A. fumigatus. The change in susceptibility of A. fumigatus exposed to the new chiral triazole fungicide mefentrifluconazole was investigated in this study. RESULTS The results indicated that triazole resistance in A. fumigatus was acquired with exposure to mefentrifluconazole at a level of greater than or equal to 2 mg L-1 in liquid medium and soil (not at 0.4 nor 1 mg L-1 ). Interestingly, stereoselectivity was found in the acquisition of triazole resistance in A. fumigatus when exposed to mefentrifluconazole. R-mefentrifluconazole, which is very active on plant pathogens, exhibited stronger possibility in the development of the resistance in A. fumigatus than its antipode. Overexpression of cyp51A, AtrF, AfuMDR1 and AfuMDR4 were associated with the acquired resistance in A. fumigatus with hereditary stability. CONCLUSION The results suggest that triazole resistance in A. fumigatus could be resulted from the selection of mefentrifluconazole at concentrations larger than 2 mg L-1 . Mefentrifluconazole should be applied within the dosage recommended by good agricultural practice to avoid the resistance in A. fumigatus in soil. This also may be applicable to other triazole fungicides. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Pyrisoxazole is a chiral fungicide with high sterilizing activity to the plant pathogenic bacteria. It has two chiral C atoms, which bring four stereoisomers. The present work was the first time to explore the stereoselective bioaccumulation behavior of pyrisoxazole in earthworms by chiral liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-Q-TOF/MS). The absolute configurations of pyrisoxazole stereoisomers were confirmed by circular dichroism (CD) coupled with calculated electronic circular dichroism (ECD) method, and the elution order in Lux Cellulose-3 column was as follows: (-)-3S, 5R-pyrisoxazole, (+)-3R, 5S-pyrisoxazole, (+)-3S, 5S-pyrisoxazole and (-)-3R, 5R-pyrisoxazole. The recoveries of pyrisoxazole stereoisomers in earthworm and soil samples ranged from 80.8 % to 101 % with the RSD lower than 6.3 %. In bioaccumulation progress, (+)-3R, 5S-pyrisoxazole was accumulated preferentially in earthworms, and the bioaccumulation concentrations of high-activity (-)-3S, 5R-pyrisoxazole were the lowest. There were no stereoselective bioaccumulation between (+)-3S, 5S-pyrisoxazole and (-)-3R, 5R-pyrisoxazole, while there was diastereoselectivity between Z-pyrisoxazole and E-pyrisoxazole with higher E-pyrisoxazole concentrations. In the whole bioaccumulation process, the BAF values of (+)-3R, 5S-pyrisoxazole were significantly higher than (-)-3S, 5R-pyrisoxazole, and the BAF values of (-)-3S, 5R-pyrisoxazole were the lowest. The dissipation of pyrisoxazole stereoisomers in the artificial soil was very slow and had no stereoselectivity, and the existence of earthworms had little effects on the dissipation of pyrisoxazole stereoisomers, which indicated that the stereoselective behaviors of pyrisoxazole in earthworms were caused by the stereoselective enrichment and dissipation of earthworms themselves. Taken together, (-)-3S, 5R-pyrisoxazole was recommend as a commercial product. This study played a positive role in guiding the development of environmentally friendly pesticides and provided database for the environmental and biological risk assessment of pyrisoxazole.

Abstract
Sedaxane was a novel chiral fungicide that contains four enantiomers. Unfortunately, the stereoselective bioactivity, toxicity and degradation of sedaxane have not been clarified. In this study, we identified the absolute configuration of the four sedaxane enantiomers at first time. The stereoselective bioactivity toward three wheat and rice pathogens, stereoselective acute toxicity to aquatic organisms (Selenastrum capricornutum and Daphnia magna), and stereoselective degradation of sedaxane were studied. The 1 S,2S-(+)-sedaxane possessed 5.4-7.3 times greater bioactivity than 1 R,2R-(-)-sedaxane to Rhizoctonia solani and Rhizoctonia cerealis. Contrarily, the 1 R,2S-(+)-sedaxane had 4.2 times greater activity than 1 S,2S-(+)-sedaxane against Fusarium graminearum. The 1 R,2R-(-)-sedaxane had 2.8 times greater toxicity than 1 S,2S-(+)-sedaxane to S. capricornutum. The chiral determination method used ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). The recovery of sedaxane stereoisomers ranged from 83.1 % to 98.2 %, with RSDs (Relative standard deviations) of 1.2 %- 8.4 %. The trans-sedaxane existed stereoselective degradation phenomenon in the rice-wheat rotation mode, and 1 S,2S-(+)-sedaxane was preferentially degraded. Our results would provide scientific importance and practical guidance to the safety evaluation of chiral pesticides.
