Design, Synthesis, and Bioactivities Screening of a Diaryl Ketone-Inspired Pesticide Molecular Library as Derived from Natural Products
摘要:
Three natural products, 1,5‐diphenylpentan‐1‐one, 1,5‐diphenylpent‐2‐en‐1‐one, and 3‐hydroxy‐1,5‐diphenylpentan‐1‐one, with good insecticidal activities were extracted from Stellera chamaejasme L. Based on their shared diaryl ketone moiety as ‘pharmacophores’, a series of diaryl ketones were synthesized and tested for insecticidal activity, acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity, and antifungal activity. All synthesized compounds showed poor insecticidal and acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activities. Compound III with a furyl ring showed strong activities against plant pathogenic fungi. The IC50 of compound (E)‐1‐(2,4‐dichlorophenyl)‐3‐(furan‐2‐yl)‐ ‐prop‐2‐en‐1‐one (III2) was 1.20 mg/L against Rhizoctonia solani, suggesting its strong potential as a novel antifungal drug.
