Propiconazole is a triazole fungicide also known as a DMI or demethylation inhibiting fungicide due to its binding with and inhibiting the 14-alpha demethylase enzyme from demethylating a precursor to ergosterol. Without this demethylation step the ergosterols are not incorporated into the growing fungal cell membranes and cellular growth is stopped.
