Inhibits nucleic acid synthesis (DNA and RNA synthesis) in fungal cells, preventing their growth and reproduction
ChEBI: Drazoxolon is a member of phenylhydrazines.
While detailed industrial manufacturing routes for drazoxolon are not explicitly described in the literature, its structure and known chemical class allow a clear reconstruction of the commercial process. Production centres on forming the isoxazolone ring system, followed by condensation with 2 chlorophenylhydrazine to generate the characteristic hydrazone functionality.
Protective and curative action.
