Potential inhibitors of Leptosphaeria maculans mediated detoxification of the phytoalexin brassilexin were designed and synthesized based on the planar heteroaromatic structure of isothiazolo[5,4-b]indole. Screening of these compounds for inhibition of brassilexin detoxification in cultures of L. maculans indicated that 4-(2-chlorophenyl)isothiazole had the largest effect on the rate of brassilexin detoxification. However, the most antifungal compound among the potential inhibitors, isothiazolo[5,4-b]quinoline, did not appear to affect the metabolism of brassilexin noticeably, suggesting that growth inhibition is not sufficient to slow down the rate of brassilexin detoxification. Furthermore, it was determined that 4-arylisothiazoles as well as isothiazolo[5,4-b]thianaphthene displayed antifungal activity against L. maculans. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
