A series of gossypol Schiffbases that were derivedfrom unnatural linear amino acid methylesters were identified and found to be much more potent than gossypol and ABT-199 in terms of anticancer activity. This is the first example of gossypol Schiffbases with increased activity. The investigation of the Schiff base side chain of gossypol revealed that the unique anticancer effect was achieved by

Gossypol is a part of the cotton plant's defense system against pathogens and herbivorous insects. To discover gossypol analogs with broad spectrum and high activity, a series of gossypol alkylamine Schiff base, oxime and hydrazone derivatives were synthesised and bioassayed. The biological results indicated that most of these derivatives exhibited higher anti-TMV activity than gossypol. Interestingly, the activities of compounds 10, 15, 18, 20, 23 and 26 were much higher than that of ribavirin. Furthermore, compound 26, which was low toxicity to rat, showed better activity than control plant virus inhibitors in the field. Additionally, allyl amine Schiff base (9) displayed remarkable insecticidal activities against Mythimna separata, Helicoverpa armigera and Ostrinia nubilalis, whereas (pyridin-3-yl) methanamine Schiff base (13) showed excellent activity against Culex pipiens pallens. The fungicidal results revealed that all of compounds exhibited good activity against Physalospora piricola. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
