The mechanism of action of captan on fungal cells is non-specific: the active ingredient inhibits biochemical processes involving enzymes and coenzymes containing sulfhydryl groups, and thiol-containing cell components, inactivates phosphorus conversion enzymes, and inhibits the biosynthesis of citrate from acetate. During interaction with cellular thiols, phosgene is formed, which reacts with proteins, amino acids, and other fungal cell components.
