The patent on the compound sulfopentazolin has expired, and the market will attract more companies to expand their presence.

Sulfonazole, also known as sulfonazole, is an isoxazole herbicide and a potential inhibitor of the biosynthesis of very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) in plants. Mefenacet is mainly used as a pre-emergent sealing treatment agent to block Graminea, such as Setaria, Digitaria, Lolium, and Clovergrass, Amaranthus, Datura, Amaranth, and Vicia. Supplemented by broadleaf grasses, it can be used for crops such as wheat, corn, soybeans, cotton, and rice.

Mesozofen was first discovered by Japan’s K-I Chemical Research Institute and later commercialized jointly by Japan’s Combinatorial Chemical and Japan’s Anhara Chemical Company. Dipyrazofen was launched on the market in 2001. With its good advantages, Tepyrafen has been registered in Japan, the United States, Canada, Australia, China, South Africa, India and other countries and regions. Dipyrachlor has high activity and safety, and is an excellent substitute for products such as acetochlor and metolachlor. At the same time, the patent for the compound of Tepyrachlor has expired, which will attract more companies to deploy in the future.

According to the “2022-2027 In-depth Market Research and Investment Prospects Forecast Analysis Report on the Dipyrazolin Industry released by the Industrial Research Center It shows that sulfentrazole is one of the important products of Japan Combinatorial Chemical Company. In recent years, in order to expand the sulfaconazole market, Nippon Combinatorial Chemical has signed licensing agreements with BASF, Bayer, FMC, Sumitomo Chemical, Ihara and other companies. With the active layout of relevant enterprises, the global sulfonazole market has developed rapidly.

The patent for the sulfonazole compound will expire on February 6, 2022, and the process patent is expected to expire after 2027. In China, the ingredient fenpyrazofen was successfully registered for the first time on January 29, 2019, and the new pesticide protection period is January 29, 2025. The registered enterprise of sulfenpyrazole in my country is Shanghai Qunli Chemical Co., Ltd., and its product is 98% of the original drug and 40% of the suspending agent.

In terms of dosage forms, the dosage forms developed for sulfopentazolin are mainly suspension concentrates, water-dispersible granules, etc. The products of sulfopentazole include single agent and compound agent. Due to the good compounding properties of sulfopentazole, domestic and foreign companies have done more research on the sulfopentazole compound. Many companies have launched the sulfopentazole compound. Herbicide products, such as BASF’s compound herbicide Zidua®Pack of sulfentrazone and saflufenacil, Valent’s compound herbicide Perpetuo of flumefenac and sulfentrazone, and FMC’s sulfazone and saflufenacil herbicides. Anthem Flex, Bayer’s Mateno Complete, and Ihara’s three compound products (Kyojin, Falcon and Ritmo).

The appearance of sulfonazole is a white solid with a slight special smell, odorless, and is easily photodegraded in organic solvents such as ethyl acetate and acetonitrile. Industry analysts said that sulfenazole has the advantages of high activity, broad spectrum, low dosage, and high safety. In recent years, With the upgrading of market demand, the market attention of sulfonazole has increased. Triclofenac has a wide range of weed control and good application prospects. With the expiration of the patent of the compound, the trifenfenazole market will attract more companies to deploy.
