Abstract
Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) hyphenated to bioassays is a modern tool used for discovery of biologically active compounds from complex mixtures. The first bioautographic assay for detecting laccase inhibitors on a TLC plate was developed in this study. The on-plate reaction of laccase with colourless ABTS that renders the blue ABTS∙+ radical was optimised. Combination of the enzymatic TLC-assay with a control TLC-assay, wherein ABTS∙+ radical is chemically generated and then applied on the TLC, allowed to differentiate between the pure laccase inhibitor sodium azide and radical scavengers such as gallic and kojic acids. The limit of detection and quantification for the method were 54.9 and 166 ng of sodium azide respectively. The methodology was applied successfully to a recently discovered laccase inhibitor chemotype: hydrazones. A model hydrazone was compared with several hydrazones synthesized for this study. For the first time, laccase inhibitors separated on a TLC plate can be detected individually.

Abstract
The discovery of natural product-derived novel nanopesticide systems can effectively address the adverse effects caused by the improper use of traditional fungicides. In this research, 33 novel 3-carene-derived amide-thiourea derivatives 5a-5zg were designed using laccase as the biological target, synthesized from natural renewable forest biomass resource 3-carene as the starting material, and structurally confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, high-resolution mass spectrometry, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The antifungal activity of the target compounds against eight plant pathogenic fungi was evaluated, and the results presented that target compound 5g exhibited excellent and broad-spectrum antifungal activity against the eight tested phytopathogenic fungi. Furthermore, the important contribution of the gem-dimethylcyclopropane structure in the antifungal activity of compound 5g was revealed through two negative controls without the gem-dimethylcyclopropane structure. Besides, compound 5g also demonstrated a prominent laccase inhibitory activity. The fluorescence quenching of the laccase with compound 5g, the chelating characteristics of compound 5g, and the interaction mode between the laccase and compound 5g presented that the target compound 5g probably exhibited excellent antifungal activity by acting on the laccase target. Cytotoxicity assay revealed that compound 5g had a low cytotoxicity for LO2 and HEK293T cell lines. On the other hand, to further improve the application potential of compound 5g, the 3-carene molecular skeleton containing gem-dimethylcyclopropane ring was grafted onto chitosan, and two nanopesticide carriers CACS and CATCS with sustained releasing performance were synthesized for loading compound 5g. 3-Carene-derived nanochitosan carrier CATCS showed a relatively regular, loose, and porous reticular structure, which displayed high dispersibility and good thermostability. In addition, this carrier had a higher drug-loading capacity and sustained releasing performance than that of the unmodified chitosan. This research identified that the target compound 5g could be used as a promising lead compound for fungicide against the laccase target, meanwhile, the complex 5g/CATCS deserved further study as a nanopesticide candidate.

Abstract
Finding highly active molecular scaffold structures is always the key research content of new pesticide discovery. In the research and development of new pesticides, the discovery of new agricultural molecular scaffold structures and new targets still faces great challenges. In recent years, quinoline derivatives have developed rapidly in the discovery of new agriculturally active molecules, especially in the discovery of fungicides. The unique quinoline scaffold has many advantages in the discovery of new pesticides and can provide innovative and feasible solutions for the discovery of new pesticides. Therefore, we reviewed the use of quinoline derivatives and their analogues as molecular scaffolds in the discovery of new pesticides since 2000. We systematically summarized the agricultural biological activity of quinoline compounds and discussed the structure-activity relationship (SAR), physiological and biochemical properties, and mechanism of action of the active compounds, hoping to provide ideas and inspiration for the discovery of new pesticides.

Abstract
To explore more potential fungicides with new scaffolds, thirty-seven norbornene carboxamide/sulfonamide derivatives were designed, synthesized, and assayed for inhibitory activity against six plant pathogenic fungi and oomycetes. The preliminary antifungal assay suggested that the title derivatives showed moderate to good antifungal activity against six plant pathogens. Especially, compound 6 e presented excellent in vitro antifungal activity against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (EC50=0.71 mg/L), which was substantially stronger than pydiflumetofen. In vivo antifungal assay indicated 6 e displayed prominent protective and curative effects on rape leaves infected by S. sclerotiorum. The preliminary mechanism research displayed that 6 e could damage the surface morphology and inhibit the sclerotia formation of S. sclerotiorum. In addition, the in vitro enzyme inhibition bioassay indicated that 6 e displayed pronounced laccase inhibition activity (IC50=0.63 μM), much stronger than positive control cysteine. Molecular docking elucidated the binding modes between 6 e and laccase. The bioassay results and mechanism investigation demonstrated that this class of norbornene carboxamide/sulfonamide derivatives could be promising laccase inhibitors for novel fungicide development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nowadays, the diamondback moth has ascended to become one of the most formidable pests plaguing cruciferous vegetables. Consequently, the exigency for the development of efficacious pesticide candidates for crop protection has never been more paramount. In response to this pressing need, this study presents a compendium of novel isoxazoline derivatives, incorporating acylhydrazone moieties, synthesized with the express purpose of serving as potential insecticides. RESULTS The structures of these derivatives were confirmed using Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1 H NMR), Carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (13 C NMR), and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HR-MS). Most of these derivatives demonstrated effective insecticidal activities against Plutella xylostella. Notably, compound E3 exhibited exceptional insecticidal activity against Plutella xylostella (LC50 = 0.19 mg L-1 ), surpassing the effectiveness of ethiprole (LC50 = 3.28 mg L-1 ), and comparable to that of fluxametamide (LC50 = 0.22 mg L-1 ). Interestingly, compound E3 also displayed potent insecticidal activity against Pyrausta nubilalis (LC50 = 0.182 mg L-1 ) and Chilo suppressalis (LC50 = 0.64 mg L-1 ), and the LC50 values of fluxametamide were 0.23 mg L-1 (P. nubilalis) and 2.26 mg L-1 (C. suppressalis), respectively. The molecular docking results revealed that the compound E3 can form a hydrogen bond and two Pi-Pi bonds with the active sites of GABA receptors. In addition, the DFT calculations were also performed to study the relationship between insecticidal activities. The structure-activity relationships suggested that the identity of the R substituent was crucial for their pesticidal activities. CONCLUSION The results of the present study suggest that isoxazoline acylhydrazone derivatives could be promising candidates against P. xylostella and other Lepidopteran pests. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Novel agrochemicals have been successfully developed using target-based drug design (TBDD). To discover a novel, efficient, and highly selective nicotinic insecticide candidate, we developed a unified pharmacological model using TBDD by studying the binding modes of 11 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) modulators with acetylcholine binding protein (AChBP) targets for the first time. This model was used to design and develop a series of 1,2,4-triazolone derivatives. Bioassays demonstrated excellent insecticidal activities against Aphis glycines of compounds 4k (LC50 = 4.95 mg/L) and 4q (LC50 = 3.17 mg/L), and low toxicities to Apis mellifera. Additionally, compound 4q was stably bound to Aplysia californica AChBP, which was consistent with the pharmacological model obtained via molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations. Therefore, compound 4q could be a potential lead candidate targeting nAChR. The explicit pharmacological model of nAChR modulators with Ac-AChBP in this study may facilitate the future rational design of eco-friendly nicotinic insecticides.

Abstract
Triazoles are crucial molecular frameworks in the development of fungicidal compounds. Although there has been extensive research on triazole derivatives for fungicide discovery, the investigation of 2-Ar-substituted-1,2,3-triazoles remains in progress. This study reports the synthesis and evaluation of the fungicidal activity of 27 distinct 2-Ar-substituted-1,2,3-triazole derivatives. These derivatives were synthesized from anilines through a three-step process, with the key step being the Cu(II)-catalyzed annulation reaction of readily accessible alkyl 3-aminoacrylates with aryldiazonium salts. All derivatives were novel, and their structures were characterized using 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and high-resolution mass spectrometry. Their antifungal activity was tested against five phytopathogenic fungi. Twelve of the target compounds exhibited better performance than the positive control hymexazol in the fungal test. Notably, compound 6d demonstrated the most potent inhibition against Botryosphaeria dothidea with an EC50 value of 0.90 mg/L. The structure-activity relationships are also discussed in this paper. Preliminary studies on the antifungal mechanism of compound 6d revealed that it inhibits ergosterol synthesis and alters the morphology and ultrastructure of the B. dothidea mycelium. These results suggest that the designed 2-Ar-substituted-1,2,3-triazole-containing hydrazone derivatives warrant further investigation as potential lead compounds for novel antifungal agents.

Abstract
Biomimetics, which are similar to natural compounds that play an important role in the metabolism, manifestation of functional activity and reproduction of various fungi, have a pronounced attraction in the current search for new effective antifungals. Actual trends in the development of this area of research indicate that unnatural amino acids can be used as such biomimetics, including those containing halogen atoms; compounds similar to nitrogenous bases embedded in the nucleic acids synthesized by fungi; peptides imitating fungal analogs; molecules similar to natural substrates of numerous fungal enzymes and quorum-sensing signaling molecules of fungi and yeast, etc. Most parts of this review are devoted to the analysis of semi-synthetic and synthetic antifungal peptides and their targets of action. This review is aimed at combining and systematizing the current scientific information accumulating in this area of research, developing various antifungals with an assessment of the effectiveness of the created biomimetics and the possibility of combining them with other antimicrobial substances to reduce cell resistance and improve antifungal effects.

Abstract
To discover novel natural product-based fungicidal agrochemicals, 41 novel camphanic acid hydrazide and camphor sulfonamide derivatives were designed, synthesized, and tested for their antifungal profile against four plant pathogenic fungi and three oomycetes. As a result, some derivatives presented pronounced inhibitory activities toward Botryosphaeria dothidea, Fusarium graminearum, Phytophthora capsici, and Phytophthora nicotianae. Especially, compound 4b demonstrated the most potent anti-B. dothidea activity (EC50 = 1.28 mg/L), much stronger than positive control chlorthalonil. The in vivo assay showed that 4b displayed significant protective and curative effects on apple fruits infected by B. dothidea. The primary antifungal mechanism study revealed that 4b could obviously enhance the cell membrane permeability, destroy the mycelial surface morphology and the cell ultrastructure, and reduce the ergosterol and exopolysaccharide contents of B. dothidea. Further, 4b showed potent laccase inhibitory activity in vitro with an IC50 value of 11.3 μM, superior to positive control cysteine. The molecular docking study revealed that 4b could dock well into the active site of laccase by forming multiple interactions with the key residues in the pocket. The acute oral toxicity test in rats presented that 4b had slight toxicity with an LD50 value of 849.1 mg/kg bw (95% confidence limit: 403.9-1785.3 mg/kg bw). This research identified that the camphanic acid hydrazide derivatives could be promising leads for the development of novel laccase-targeting fungicides.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laccase is a key enzyme in the fungal 1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene (DHN) melanin biosynthesis pathway, which is a potential target for the control of pathogenic fungi. In our previous work, compound a2 was found with higher inhibition activity against laccase and antifungal activity than laccase inhibitor PMDD-5Y. The introduction of hydrogen-bonded receptors in the amino part was found to be beneficial in improving laccase inhibitory activity by target-based-biological rational design. In this work, the hydrogen-bonded receptors morpholine and piperazine were introduced for structure optimization to enhancing biological activity. RESULTS Enzyme activity tests indicated that all target compounds had inhibitory activity against laccase, and some compounds exhibited better activity against laccase than a2, it was further verified that the introduction of hydrogen-bonded receptors in the amino portion could enhance the laccase inhibitory activity of target compounds. Most compounds showed excellent antifungal activities in vitro. Compound m14 displayed good activity against Magnaporthe oryzae both in vitro and in vivo. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis showed that the mycelium of M. oryzae treated with m14 were destroyed. Molecular docking revealed the binding mode between laccase and target compounds. CONCLUSION Thirty-eight compounds were synthesized and showed good inhibitory activity against laccase, the introduction of morpholine and piperazine in the amino part was beneficial to improve antifungal activity and laccase activity. Further validation of laccase as a potential target for rice blast control, while m14 can be used as a candidate compound for the control of rice blast. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Plant pathogenic fungal infections have become a severe threat to the yield and quality of agricultural products, and new green antifungal agents with high efficiency and low toxicity are needed. In this study, a series of thiasporine A derivatives containing phenylthiazole-1,3,4-oxadiazole thione (ketone) structures were designed and synthesized, and their antifungal activities against six invasive and highly destructive phytopathogenic fungi were evaluated. RESULTS The results found that all compounds showed moderate to potent antifungal activity against six phytopathogenic fungi, and most of the E series compounds showed remarkable antifungal activity against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and Colletotrichum camelliaet. In particular, compounds E1-E5, E7, E8, E13, E14, E17, and E22 showed more significant antifungal activity against S. sclerotiorum, with half-maximal effective concentration (EC50 ) values of 0.22, 0.48, 0.56, 0.65, 0.51, 0.39, 0.60, 0.56, 0.60, 0.63, and 0.45 μg mL-1 , respectively, which were superior to that of carbendazim (0.70 μg mL-1 ). Further activity studies showed that compound E1 possessed superior curative activities against S. sclerotiorum in vivo and better inhibitory effects on sclerotia germination and the formation of S. sclerotiorum compared with those of carbendazim. CONCLUSIONS This study indicates that these thiasporine A derivatives containing phenylthiazole-1,3,4-oxadiazole thione structures might be used as antifungal agents against S. sclerotiorum. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
To discover novel laccase inhibitors as potential fungicides, twenty-six novel L-menthol hydrazide derivatives were designed and synthesized. In the in vitro antifungal assay, most of the target compounds displayed pronounced antifungal activity against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Fusarium graminearum, and Botryosphaeria dothidea. Especially, the EC50 of compounds 3 b and 3 q against B. dothidea was 0.465 and 0.622 mg/L, which was close to the positive compound fluxapyroxad (EC50 =0.322 mg/L). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis showed that compound 3 b could significantly damage the mycelial morphology of B. dothidea. In vivo antifungal experiments on apple fruits showed that 3 b exhibited excellent protective and curative effects. Furthermore, in the in vitro laccase inhibition assay, 3 b showed outstanding inhibitory activity with the IC50 value of 2.08 μM, which is much stronger than positive control cysteine and PMDD-5Y. These results indicated that this class of L-menthol derivatives could be promising leads for the discovery of laccase-targeting fungicides.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To explore further potential natural product-based antifungal agents, a series of novel nopol-based carboxamide and hydrazide derivatives containing a natural pinene structure were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their inhibitory activities against seven phytopathogenic fungi and oomycetes. RESULTS The bioassay results indicated that some compounds exhibited good inhibitory activities against Gibberella zeae, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, and Phytophthora capsici. Among them, compound 3h displayed excellent in vitro activities against G. zeae, with EC50 values of 1.09 mg L-1 , which was comparable with the commercial fungicides bixafen and carbendazim (median effective concentration [EC50 ] = 1.21 and 0.89 mg L-1 , respectively). Notably, in vivo bioassay results suggested that compound 3h also showed prominent protective and curative effects (95.6% and 94.2%) at 200 mg L-1 against G. zeae. The scanning electron microscopy study indicated that compound 3h could destroy the morphological integrity of G. zeae hyphae. The in vitro enzyme inhibitory bioassay revealed that compound 3h exhibited potent inhibitory activity against laccase with median inhibitory concentration (IC50 ) values of 4.93 μm, superior to positive control cysteine (IC50 = 35.50 μm), and its binding modes with laccase were elucidated by molecular docking study. In addition, the fluorescent imaging of the dansylamide-labeled derivatives 8 on wheat leaf epidermal cells and the hyphae of G. zeae revealed that this class of hydrazide derivatives could readily permeate into wheat leaves and reached the laccase target in fungal cells. CONCLUSION Some nopol-based hydrazide derivatives exhibited excellent anti-G. zeae activity and laccase inhibitory activity, which merits further development as a new fungicide candidate for controlling Fusarium head blight. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fungicides play a significant role in the integrated management of plant pathogens. However, the irrational application of fungicides with similar structures has led to development of cross-resistance, therefore there is a need to seek novel fungicides with new structures. RESULTS Twenty-eight novel sulfoximine derivatives incorporating nitroguanidine moieties were designed, synthesized, and evaluated as antifungal agents. The bioassay results indicated that most of the synthesized compounds displayed excellent fungicidal activities against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Rhizoctonia solani, Fusarium graminearum, and Pyricularia grisea. Among these, compounds 6c4 , 6c5 , and 6c6 exhibited remarkable fungicidal activities against P. grisea, with EC50 values of 1.28, 1.17, and 1.68 μg mL-1 , respectively. In addition, compound 6c2 displayed the most potent activity against S. sclerotiorum (EC50 = 3.64 μg mL-1 ). Further in vivo fungicidal activity screening against S. sclerotiorum demonstrated that the protective and curative effects of compound 6c2 were 98.1% and 91.3% at 25 μg mL-1 , respectively, comparable to that of boscalid (94.4%, 89.6%). The preliminary mechanism study found that the hyphae of S. sclerotiorum treated with compound 6c2 was abnormal with mycelial collapse and membrane permeability increase. The present findings can help to develop new fungicides for crop protection. CONCLUSION Novel sulfoximine derivatives containing nitroguanidine possess potential antifungal activity, and the unique structure may offer an alternative option for fungicide development in the future. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
In the search for crop protectants, amino acid ester conjugates have been widely investigated as potential antifungal agents. In this study, a series of rhein-amino acid ester conjugates were designed and synthesized in good yields, and their structures were confirmed by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and HRMS. The bioassay results revealed that most of the conjugates exhibited potent inhibitory activity against R. solani and S. sclerotiorum. In particular, conjugate 3c had the highest antifungal activity against R. solani with an EC50 value of 0.125 mM. For S. sclerotiorum, conjugate 3m showed the highest antifungal activity with an EC50 value of 0.114 mM. Satisfactorily, conjugate 3c exhibited better protective effects than that of the positive control, physcion, against powdery mildew in wheat. This research supports the role of rhein-amino acid ester conjugates as potential antifungal agents for plant fungal diseases.

Abstract
The development of new green fungicides is an effective way to solve the resistance of agricultural pathogens and plays an important role in promoting high-quality and sustainable development of modern agriculture. In this project, a series of aryloxy-, arylthio-, and arylamino-containing acethydrazide derivatives were designed, synthesized, and characterized by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), 13C NMR, and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). The fungicidal bioassays indicated that some compounds showed excellent and broad-spectrum fungicidal activity, and the structure-activity relationship was discussed. The in vivo fungicidal activity demonstrated that compounds C4 and D8 exhibited good preventative effects against Fusarium graminearum infecting wheat leaves, of which the preventative activity of compound D8 was almost equal to that of the positive agents. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observation revealed that the plasma membrane in the C4-treated F. graminearum hyphal cells was severely contracted and separated with the cell wall, coupling with the visible lysosomes and the disappeared cytoplasm and organelles, which may be the reasons for the shriveled and even ruptured hyphae observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Subsequently, transcriptomics and metabolomics were performed to further elucidate the fungicidal mechanism. The regulatory networks of differential genes and metabolites in plasma membrane-related sphingolipid metabolism, linoleic acid metabolism, α-linoleic acid metabolism, and arachidonic acid metabolism were constructed and elaborated. Additionally, preliminary investigation of seeding growth suggested that compounds C4 and D8 may have different degrees of influence on the growth indicators of wheat seedlings; however, this effect may be negligible as the plant grows.

Abstract
To discover novel fungicidal agrochemicals for treating wheat scab, 39 novel camphor sulfonohydrazide/sulfonamide derivatives 4a-4t and 6a-6s were designed and synthesized. In the in vitro antifungal/antioomycete assay, compounds 4g, 4n, and 4o displayed significant inhibitory activities against Fusarium graminearum, Botryosphaeria dothidea, and Phytophthora capsici. Among them, 4n exhibited the best antifungal activity against F. graminearum with an EC50 value of 0.41 mg/L, which was at the same level as that of pydiflumetofen. The in vivo experiment revealed that 4n presented excellent protective and curative efficacy toward F. graminearum. In the antifungal mechanism study, 4n could increase the cell membrane permeability and reduce the exopolysaccharide and ergosterol content of F. graminearum. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyses revealed that 4n could significantly damage the surface morphology and the cell ultrastructure of mycelia to interfere with the growth of F. graminearum. Furthermore, 4n exhibited potent succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) inhibitory activity in vitro with an IC50 value of 3.94 μM, which was equipotent to pydiflumetofen (IC50 = 4.07 μM). The molecular dynamics simulation and docking study suggested that compound 4n could well occupy the active site and form strong interactions with the key residues of SDH. The above-mentioned results demonstrated that the title camphor sulfonohydrazide/sulfonamide derivatives could be promising lead compounds for further succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) fungicide development.

Abstract
Plant diseases can seriously affect the growth of food crops and economic crops. To date, pesticides are still among the most effective methods to prevent and control plant diseases worldwide. Consequently, to develop potential pesticide molecules, a series of novel 2-phenylglycine derivatives containing 1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thioethers were designed and synthesized. The bioassay results revealed that G19 exhibited great in vitro antifungal activity against Thanatephorus cucumeris with an EC50 value of 32.4 μg/mL, and in vivo antifungal activity against T. cucumeris on rice leaves at a concentration of 200.0 μg/mL (66.9 %) which was close that of azoxystrobin (73.2 %). Compounds G24 (80.2 %), G25 (89.4 %), and G27 (83.3 %) exhibited impressive in vivo inactivation activity against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) at a concentration of 500.0 μg/mL, which was comparable to that of ningnanmycin (96.3 %) and markedly higher than that of ribavirin (55.6 %). The antibacterial activity of G16 (63.1 %), G26 (89.9 %), G27 (78.0 %), and G28 (68.0 %) against Xoo at a concentration of 50.0 μg/mL was higher than that of thiadiazole copper (18.0 %) and bismerthiazol (38.9 %). Preliminary mechanism studies on the antifungal activity against T. cucumeris demonstrated that G19 can affect the growth of mycelia by disrupting the integrity of the cell membrane and altering the permeability of the cell. These studies revealed that the amino acid derivatives containing a 1,3,4-oxadiazole moiety exhibited certain antifungal, antibacterial, and anti-TMV activities, and these derivatives can be further modified and developed as potential pesticide molecules.

Abstract
Laccase is a potential target for novel agricultural fungicide discovery. PMDD-5Y was the first agent reported with high activity against laccase to control phytopathogenic fungi. Thirty-two novel agents containing cinnamaldehyde thiosemicarbazide were synthesized with PMDD-5Y as the lead compound, with most of the target compounds exhibiting excellent activity in vitro. Compound a2 (EC50 = 9.71 μg/mL) exhibited greater potency against Magnaporthe oryzae than the commercial fungicide isoprothiolane (EC50 = 18.62 μg/mL). The curative and protective effects of a2 against M. oryzae on rice were more than those of PMDD-5Y. Scanning electron microscopy indicated that a2 could cause mycelial growth atrophy and malformation. Furthermore, a2 (IC50 = 0.18 mmol/L) showed higher activity against laccase than PMDD-5Y (IC50 = 0.33 mmol/L) and cysteine (IC50 = 0.30 mmol/L). Molecular docking analysis revealed the nature of interaction between these compounds and laccase. This research identified a novel laccase inhibitor a2 as a fungicide candidate to control rice blast in agriculture.

The Discovery of Novel Ferulic Acid Derivatives Incorporating Substituted Isopropanolamine Moieties as Potential Tobacco Mosaic Virus Helicase Inhibitors. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232213991. [PMID: 36430473 PMCID: PMC9698358 DOI: 10.3390/ijms232213991] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2022] [Revised: 11/02/2022] [Accepted: 11/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Target-based drug design, a high-efficiency strategy used to guide the development of novel pesticide candidates, has attracted widespread attention. Herein, various natural-derived ferulic acid derivatives incorporating substituted isopropanolamine moieties were designed to target the tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) helicase. Bioassays demonstrating the optimized A19, A20, A29, and A31 displayed excellent in vivo antiviral curative abilities, affording corresponding EC50 values of 251.1, 336.2, 347.1, and 385.5 μg/mL, which visibly surpassed those of commercial ribavirin (655.0 μg/mL). Moreover, configurational analysis shows that the R-forms of target compounds were more beneficial to aggrandize antiviral profiles. Mechanism studies indicate that R-A19 had a strong affinity (Kd = 5.4 μM) to the TMV helicase and inhibited its ability to hydrolyze ATP (50.61% at 200 μM). Meanwhile, A19 could down-regulate the expression of the TMV helicase gene in the host to attenuate viral replication. These results illustrate the excellent inhibitory activity of A19 towards the TMV helicase. Additionally, docking simulations uncovered that R-A19 formed more hydrogen bonds with the TMV helicase in the binding pocket. Recent studies have unambiguously manifested that these designed derivatives could be considered as promising potential helicase-based inhibitors for plant disease control.

Design, Synthesis and Bioactivity of Novel Low Bee-Toxicity Compounds Based on Flupyrimin. MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 27:molecules27186133.

Abstract
Neonicotinoids are important insecticides for controlling aphids in agriculture. Growing research suggested that neonicotinoid insecticides are a key factor causing the decline of global pollinator insects, such as bees. Flupyrimin (FLP) is a novel nicotinic insecticide with unique biological properties and no cross-resistance, and is safe for pollinators. Using FLP as the lead compound, a series of novel compounds were designed and synthesized by replacing the amide fragment with a sulfonamideone. Their structures were confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and HRMS spectra. Bioassay results showed that compound 2j had good insecticidal activity against Aphis glycines with an LC50 value of 20.93 mg/L. Meanwhile, compound 2j showed significantly lower acute oral and contact toxicity to Apis mellifera. In addition, compound 2j interacted well with the protein in insect acetylcholine binding protein (AChBP). The molecular docking on honeybee nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) indicated that the sulfonamide group of compound 2j did not form a hydrogen bond with Arg173 of the β subunit, which conforms to the reported low bee-toxicity conformation. In general, target compound 2j can be regarded as a bee-friendly insecticide candidate.

Abstract
The introduction of active groups of natural products into the framework of pesticide molecules is an effective approach for discovering active lead compounds, and thus has been widely used in the development of new agrochemicals. In this work, a novel series of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline derivatives containing a pyrimidine ether scaffold were designed and synthesized by the active substructure splicing method. The new compounds showed good antifungal activities against several fungi. Especially, compound 4fh displayed excellent in vitro activity against Valsa mali and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum with EC50 values of 0.71 and 2.47 μg/mL, respectively. 4fh had slightly stronger inhibitory activity (68.08% at 50 μM) against chitin synthase (CHS) than that of polyoxin D (63.84% at 50 μM) and exhibited obvious curative and protective effects on S. sclerotiorum in vivo. Thus, 4fh can be considered as a new candidate fungicide as a chitin synthase inhibitor. An accurate and reliable three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) model presented a useful direction for the further excogitation of more highly active fungicides. Molecular docking revealed that the conventional hydrogen bond mainly affected the binding affinity of 4fh with chitin synthase. The present results will provide a guidance to discover potential CHS-based fungicides for plant disease control in agriculture.
