The addition of active groups of known fungicides, or systemic acquired resistance inducers, into novel compound molecules to search for potential antifungal compounds is a popular and effective strategy. In this work, a new series of N-acyl-N-arylalanines was developed and synthesized, in which 1,2,3-thiadiazol-5-ylcarbonyl or 3,4-dichloroisothiazol-5-ylcarbonyl (fragments from synthetic plant resistance activators tiadinil and isotianil, respectively) and a fragment of N-arylalanine, the toxophoric group of acylalanine fungicides. Several new synthesized compounds have shown moderate antifungal activity against fungi in vitro, such as B. cinerea, R. solani and S. sclerotiorum. In vivo tests against A. brassicicola showed that compound 1d was 92% effective at a concentration of 200 µg/mL, similar to level of tiadinil, a known inducer of systemic resistance. Thus, 1d could be considered a new candidate fungicide for further detailed study. The present results will advance research and influence the search for more promising fungicides for disease control in agriculture.
在新型化合物分子中加入已知杀真菌剂或系统获得性抗性诱导剂的活性基团,以寻找潜在的抗真菌化合物,是一种流行而有效的策略。这项研究开发并合成了一系列新的 N-酰基-N-芳基丙氨酸,其中包括 1,2,3-噻二唑-5-基羰基或 3,4-二氯异噻唑-5-基羰基(分别来自合成植物抗性激活剂噻菌胺和异噻菌胺的片段)和 N-芳基丙氨酸的一个片段,这是酰基丙氨酸类杀菌剂的毒力基团。几种新合成的化合物在体外对真菌(如 B.cinerea、R.solani 和 S.sclerotiorum)显示出中等程度的抗真菌活性。针对黄铜菌的体内测试表明,化合物 1d 在 200 µg/mL 浓度下的有效率为 92%,与噻菌胺(一种已知的系统抗性诱导剂)的水平相似。因此,1d 可被视为一种新的候选杀菌剂,有待进一步详细研究。本研究结果将推动相关研究,并影响寻找更多有前景的杀菌剂来控制农业病害。
