Chlorpheniramine (CPA) is an antihistaminic that changes the conformation of DNA and inhibits polyamine biosynthesis in mammalian cells. The effect of CPA on four genera of fungal species (Alternaria alternata, Botrytis cinerea, Cladosporium cladosporioides and three Penicillium spp.) was tested in vitro. Similar growth inhibitions of these genera were produced by 0.5 mM iprodione, CPA and histidinol, but CPA was the most effective. The CPA sensitivities of the two B. cinerea strains were different. Putrescine did not restore the fungal growth inhibited by CPA.
