Product Description

Antibiotic. Activator of p38 and MAP kinases. Synergistic with growth factors and phorbol esters to superinduce cFos and cJun, by acting as a potent signalling agonist. Induces apoptosis in the human monoblastoid cell line. Used in the eradication of bean mildew. Inhibits other pathogenic fungi in plants.
