Towards the identification and quantification of candidate metabolites of tebuconazole fungicide

International audience; Tebuconazole belongs to the family of triazole fungicides, used for crop protection and human health applications. In the environment, the dissipation of the parent molecule leads to the formation of metabolites that are of unknown identity or toxicity. In order to identify and determine the putative identity of those metabolites and their po- tential toxicity, a quadrupole time-of-flight (Q-TOF) approach is often used. Q-SAR approaches help to predict their toxicity by comparing them to a known database of molecules with known properties. All together the information on the candidate by-products may help to select relevant sub-set of metabolites for further quantifi…
