The detoxification of the phytoalexin brassinin to indole-3-carboxaldehyde and S-methyl dithiocarbamate is catalyzed by brassinin oxidase (BOLm), an inducible fungal enzyme produced by the plant pathogen Leptosphaeria maculans. Twenty-six substituted quinolines and isoquinolines are synthesized and evaluated for antifungal activity against L. maculans and inhibition of BOLm. Eleven compounds that inhibit BOLm activity are reported, of which 3-ethyl-6-phenylquinoline displays the highest inhibitory effect. In general, substituted 3-phenylquinolines show significantly higher inhibitory activities than the corresponding 2-phenylquinolines. Overall, these results indicate that the quinoline scaffold is a good lead to design paldoxins (phytoalexin detoxification inhibitors) that inhibit the detoxification of brassinin by L. maculans.
植物病原体Leptosphaeria maculans产生的可诱导真菌酶 brassinin 氧化酶 (BOLm) 催化了植物抗毒素brassinin向indole-3-carboxaldehyde和S-甲基二硫代氨基甲酸的解毒。合成了二十六种取代喹啉和异喹啉,并评估了它们对L. maculans的抑菌活性和对BOLm的抑制作用。报道了十一种抑制BOLm活性的化合物,其中3-乙基-6-苯基喹啉显示出最高的抑制效果。一般来说,取代的3-苯基喹啉比相应的2-苯基喹啉显示出显著更高的抑制活性。总的来说,这些结果表明喹啉支架是设计paldoxins(植物抗毒素解毒抑制剂)的良好先导,可以抑制L. maculans对brassinin的解毒。
