Rice sheath blight, caused by the fungus Rhizoctonia solani, poses a significant threat to rice cultivation globally. This study aimed investigate potential mechanisms of action camphor derivatives against R. solani. Compound 4o exhibited superior fungicidal activities in vitro (EC50 = 6.16 mg/L), and vivo curative effects (77.5%) at 500 mg/L were significantly (P < 0.01) higher than positive control validamycin·bacillus (66.1%). Additionally, compound low cytotoxicity acute oral toxicity for adult worker honeybees Apis mellifera L. Mechanistically, disrupted mycelial morphology microstructure, increased cell membrane permeability, inhibited both PDH SDH enzyme activities. Molecular docking molecular dynamics analyses indicated tight interaction with active sites. In summary, substantial antifungal efficacy serving as promising lead further optimization agents.

Structural Simplification of Luotonin F: Discovery of Quinoline Derivatives as Novel Antifungal Agents for Plant Protection

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Фев. 4, 2025

Inspired by the natural quinoline alkaloid Luotonin F, a series of quinoline-3-hydrazide derivatives were designed and synthesized structure simplification evaluated for their fungicidal activities against plant phytopathogenic fungi. The bioassay results showed that these compounds exhibited broad-spectrum highly efficient antifungal in vitro. Among them, compound W9 inhibitory R. solani, S. sclerotiorum, B. cinerea, F. graminearum, oxysporum, P. capsici with EC50 values 0.471, 0.752, 0.570, 0.329, 0.960, 0.504 μg/mL, respectively. In particular, was more effective cinerea than reference drugs Pyrimethanil (EC50 = 3.54 μg/mL) Boscalid 1.37 μg/mL). Therefore, preliminary mechanism action on explored. it could affect mycelial morphology, disrupt integrity cell membrane, increase reactive oxygen species content. Furthermore, excellent vivo protection efficacy compared to drug Pyrimethanil. Thus, is expected be novel candidate, exhibiting activities, which worthy further investigation.

Abstract BACKGROUND To discover novel fungicide candidates, five series of norbornene hydrazide, bishydrazide, oxadiazole, carboxamide and acylthiourea derivatives ( 2a‐2t , 3a‐3f, 4a‐4f, 5a‐5f 7a‐7f ) were designed, synthesized assayed for their antifungal activity toward seven representative plant fungal pathogens. RESULTS In the in vitro assay, some title presented good against Botryosphaeria dothidea Sclerotinia sclerotiorum Fusarium graminearum . Especially, compound 2b exhibited best inhibitory B. with median effective concentration (EC 50 0.17 mg L −1 substantially stronger than those reference fungicides boscalid carbendazim. The vivo assay on apples revealed that had significant curative protective effects, both which superior to boscalid. preliminary mechanism study, was able injure surface morphology hyphae, destroy cell membrane integrity increase intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level addition, could considerably inhibit laccase (IC 1.02 μM, much positive control cysteine = 35.50 μM). binding affinity interaction mode also confirmed by molecular docking. CONCLUSION This study a promising lead inhibitors as fungicidal agrochemicals, demonstrate anti‐ activity. © 2024 Society Chemical Industry.

Isolating Antipathogenic Fungal Coumarins from Coriaria nepalensis and Determining Their Primary Mechanism In Vitro

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 72(12), С. 6711 - 6722

Опубликована: Март 16, 2024

Through bioassay-guided isolation, eight undescribed coumarins (1–8), along with six reported (9–14), were obtained from Coriaria nepalensis. The new structures determined by using IR, UV, NMR, HRESIMS, and ECD calculations. results of the biological activity assays showed that compound 9 exhibited broad spectrum antifungal activities against all tested fungi in vitro a significant inhibitory effect on Phytophthora nicotianae an EC50 value 3.00 μg/mL. Notably, demonstrated greater curative protective effects tobacco balack shank than those osthol vivo. Thus, was structurally modified to obtain promising agents, novel derivatives (17b, 17j, 17k) better Sclerotinia sclerotiorum did lead 9. Preliminary mechanistic exploration illustrated could enhance cell membrane permeability, destroy morphology ultrastructure cells, reduce exopolysaccharide content P. mycelia. Furthermore, cytotoxicity revealed relatively low HEK293 lines inhibition rate 33.54% at 30 This research is for discovery fungicides natural satisfactory ecological compatibility.
