Abstract
Benzimidazoles, the representative pharmacophore of fungicides, have excellent antifungal potency, but their simple structure and single site of action have hindered their wider application in agriculture. In order to extend the structural diversity of tubulin-targeted benzimidazoles, novel benzimidazole derivatives were prepared by introducing the attractive pyrimidine pharmacophore. 2-((6-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy)pyrimidin-4-yl)thio)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (A25) exhibited optimal antifungal activity against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (S. s.), affording an excellent half-maximal effective concentration (EC50) of 0.158 μg/mL, which was higher than that of the reference agent carbendazim (EC50 = 0.594 μg/mL). Pot experiments revealed that compound A25 (200 μg/mL) had acceptable protective activity (84.7%) and curative activity (78.1%), which were comparable with that of carbendazim (protective activity: 90.8%; curative activity: 69.9%). Molecular docking displayed that multiple hydrogen bonds and π-π interactions could be formed between A25 and β-tubulin, resulting in a stronger bonding effect than carbendazim. Fluorescence imaging revealed that the structure of intracellular microtubules can be changed significantly after A25 treatment. Overall, these remarkable antifungal profiles of constructed novel benzimidazole derivatives could facilitate the application of novel microtubule-targeting agents.

Abstract
In research related to fungicides, the development of compounds from natural products with high antifungal activity has attracted considerable attention. Fusaric acid (FA), an alkaloid isolated from the metabolites of Fusarium oxysporum, is an important precursor for developing pharmacologically active herbicides. In our previous work, we reported that FA has a wide range of inhibitory activities against 14 plant pathogenic fungi. In particular, it exhibited excellent antifugal effects on Colletotrichum higginsianum (EC50 = 31.7 μg/mL). Herein, to explore the practical application in the agricultural field, the design and synthesis of three series of FA derivatives and their inhibitory activities against plant pathogenic fungi were examined. Results demonstrated that the optimized FA derivatives had excellent inhibitory activities against C. higginsianum, Helminthosporium (Harpophora maydis), and Pyricularia grisea. In particular, the inhibitory activities were considerably improved when the 5-butyl groups of FA were substituted. The EC50 of C. higginsianum and P. grisea was only 1.2 and 12.0 μg/mL when 5-butylalkyl groups were substituted with 5-([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl) and 5-phenyl, respectively. Moreover, the safety index of target compounds, which was obtained from the treatment index of medicines, on rice seeds was evaluated. Finally, 16 leading compounds (H4, H22-H24, H27, H29, H30-H34, H37, H45, H50, H52, and H53) were obtained; they had considerable potential for additional modification and optimization as agricultural fungicides. Moreover, three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship models were developed for obtaining a systematic structure-activity relationship profile to explore the possibility of more potent FA derivatives as novel fungicides.

Abstract
Based on the structural features of both succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHIs) and targeted covalent inhibitors, a series of N-phenylpropiolamides containing a Michael acceptor moiety were designed to find new antifungal compounds. Nineteen compounds showed potent inhibition activity in vitro on nine species of plant pathogenic fungi. Compounds 9 and 13 showed higher activity on most of the fungi than the standard drug azoxystrobin. Compound 13 could completely inhibit Physalospora piricola infection on apples at 200 μg/mL concentration over 7 days and showed high safety to seed germination and seedling growth of plants at ≤100 μg/mL concentration. The action mechanism showed that 13 is an SDH inhibitor with a median inhibitory concentration, IC50, value of 0.55 μg/mL, comparable with that of the positive drug boscalid. Molecular docking studies revealed that 13 can bind well to the ubiquinone-binding region of SDH by hydrogen bonds and undergoes π-alkyl interaction and π-cation interaction. At the cellular level, 1 as the parent compound could destruct the mycelial structure of P. piricola and partly dissolve the cell wall and/or membrane. Structure-activity relationship analysis showed that the acetenyl group should be a structure determinant for the activity, and the substitution pattern of the phenyl ring can significantly impact the activity. Thus, N-phenylpropiolamide emerged as a novel and promising lead scaffold for the development of new SDHIs for plant protection.

Abstract
1,3-Thiazolidin-4-one derivatives with a exocyclic C=C double bond in position 2 of the hetero ring have a wide spectrum of biological activity, but their fungicidal activity has not been studied as much as it should be. This paper presents a simple and convenient approach for obtaining potential antifungal agents based on 2-(4-oxo-1,3-thiazolidin-2-ylidene)acetamides. The first examples of evaluating the fungicidal activity of 8 obtained compounds on 8 strains of phytopathogenic fungi are presented. A highly active compound 4e with EC50 of 0.85 and 2.29 µg/mL against A. solani and P. lingam, respectively, was found to be promising for further study.

Abstract
Biologically active compounds play a key role in the fight against diseases affecting both human and animal living organisms, as well as plants. Finding out about new molecules with a potential biological effect, not yet described in the literature, is one of the most important aspects in the development of medicine and agriculture. Compounds showing desirable biological activity include heterocyclic moieties such as 1,3,4-oxadiazoles. The oxadiazole molecule is composed of two nitrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, forming a five-membered heterocyclic ring. Structures of this type have been successfully used in the treatment of various diseases in humans and animals, and play an important role in modern agriculture. It has been proven that many oxadiazole derivatives exhibit antibacterial, antiviral, blood pressure lowering, antifungal, antineoplastic, anticancer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. In addition, compounds based on 1,3,4-oxadiazole can act as plant protection agents due to their herbicidal, insecticidal and fungicidal activity. Due to the constantly growing interest in heterocyclic systems of this nature, new methods of obtaining complex structures containing oxadiazole rings are sought. This article discusses various methods of synthesis of 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives exhibiting biological activity. Based on these techniques, these compounds could be used in the future in medicine and agriculture.

Abstract
This work deals with the synthesis and evaluation of fungicidal activity of benzimidazole derivatives, which are structural analogues of commercial anti-tubulin fungicides. A number of N-acyl and N-thioacyl derivatives of 2-amino-1H-benzo[d]imidazole were prepared, and their fungicidal activity against 13 strains of phytopathogenic fungi was studied. The most active compounds against the majority of the studied strains were 3a, 4l, and 4o, and the EC50 values of these compounds were in the range 2.5-20 μg/mL. Compound 3a showed the highest activity against the P. infestans strain, the growth of which is not suppressed by carbendazim. The formation of ligand-receptor complexes of various tautomeric forms of the studied benzimidazoles with homologous models of β-tubulins of B. cinerea, F. oxysporum, and P. infestans was modeled. Induced fit docking has been used for the simulation. The obtained data suggest the possibility of binding of benzimidazole fungicides to β-tubulin in the ″nocodazole cavity″ in the tautomeric form bearing a double exocyclic C═N bond. The importance of the formation of hydrogen bonds of benzimidazoles with the amino acid residue Val236 along with the Glu198 residue is also revealed in the present study.

Abstract
A series of novel 2,6-dimethyl-4-aminopyrimidine hydrazones 5 were rationally designed and synthesized as pyruvate dehydrogenase complex E1 (PDHc-E1) inhibitors. Compounds 5 strongly inhibited Escherichia coli (E. coli) PDHc-E1 (IC50 values 0.94-15.80 μM). As revealed by molecular docking, site-directed mutagenesis, enzymatic, and inhibition kinetic analyses, compounds 5 competitively inhibited PDHc-E1 and bound in a "straight" pattern at the E. coli PDHc-E1 active site, which is a new binding mode. In in vitro antifungal assays, most compounds 5 at 50 μg/mL showed more than 80% inhibition against the mycelial growth of six tested phytopathogenic fungi, including Botrytis cinerea, Monilia fructigena, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, andBotryosphaeria dothidea. Notably, 5f and 5i were 1.8-380 fold more potent against M. fructigena than the commercial fungicides captan and chlorothalonil. In vivo, 5f and 5i controlled the growth of M. fructigena comparably to the commercial fungicide tebuconazole. Thus, 5f and 5i have potential commercial value for the control of peach brown rot caused by M. fructigena.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sclerotinia stem rot (SSR) caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum threatens oilseed rape cultivation, and the emergence of fungicide-resistant strains has led to control failures worldwide. Identifying novel chemical alternatives with different modes of action and high antifungal activities is thus crucial. Herein we evaluated the antifungal effects of 3-(2-pyridyl)methyl-2-(4-chlorphenyl)imino- thiazolidine (PMAS) on S. sclerotiorum to determine its efficacy for SSR management. RESULTS PMAS had an inhibitory effect on mycelial growth; the EC50 values were 17.83 and 21.15 μg mL-1 for the carbendazim-susceptible strain Ss01 and carbendazim-resistant strain Hm25, respectively. PMAS treatment changed the color of inhibited mycelia to green, and the hyphae were sustained in the undifferentiated stage. Cysteine supplementation made this green color disappear, whereas methionine enhanced the color. Moreover, PMAS treatment markedly inhibited oxalic acid biogenesis, increased free thiol content in mycelia, and weakened the activities of oxaloacetase and malate dehydrogenase, but had little effect on the activity of glyoxylate dehydrogenase. Cysteine could reverse the inhibitory effects of PMAS on mycelial morphogenesis and biochemical constituents, except thiol production. In the pot-culture experiment, PMAS showed a good protective effect, with the control efficacy being >91% on SSR. CONCLUSION PMAS appears to be an effective fungicide for SSR management. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The gradually elevated outbreak of plant bacterial diseases severely limits agricultural products and small amounts of pesticides can manage them. Our group has previously synthesized and screened the antimicrobial activity of diverse 1,3,4-oxadiazole thioether/sulfone compounds bridged by a sulfur atom at the 2-position of 1,3,4-oxadiazole. However, few studies have evaluated the effect of eliminating the sulfur atom on bioactivity. Herein, a novel type of N-containing heterocyclic pendants-tagged 1,3,4-oxadiazoles bridged by alkyl chains only was systematically synthesized and evaluated for their antimicrobial activities. RESULTS Bioassay results revealed that antibacterial efficacy increased by 551- and 314-fold against the corresponding phytopathogens Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae and X. axonopodis pv. citri compared to commercial agents bismerthiazol and thiodiazole copper. In vivo trials showed that C 1 exerted remarkable curative activity against rice bacterial blight with a control effectiveness of 52.9% at 200 μg mL-1 . Antibacterial mechanism research found that C 1 could reduce the hypersensitive response behavior and pathogenicity of Xoo through targeting the type III secretion system (T3SS) at a lower drug dose. This outcome was verified by observing the significantly down-regulated proteins and representative genes from the related quantitative proteomics and qRT-PCR assays. CONCLUSION This study can inspire the design of innovative molecular frameworks targeting the T3SS of phytopathogens for controlling bacterial infections. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) is regarded as a promising target for fungicide discovery. To continue our ongoing studies on the discovery of novel SDH inhibitors as fungicides, novel pyrazole-thiazole carboxamides were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their antifungal activity. The results indicated that compounds 9ac, 9bf, and 9cb showed excellent in vitro activities against Rhizoctonia cerealis with EC50 values from 1.1 to 4.9 mg/L, superior to that of the commercial fungicide thifluzamide (EC50 = 23.1 mg/L). Compound 9cd (EC50 = 0.8 mg/L) was far more active than thifluzamide (EC50 = 4.9 mg/L) against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Compound 9ac exhibited promising in vivo activity against Rhizoctonia solani (90% at 10 mg/L), which was better than that of thifluzamide (80% at 10 mg/L). The field experiment showed that compound 9ac had 74.4% efficacy against Rhizoctonia solani on the 15th day after two consecutive sprayings at an application rate of 4.80 g a.i./667 m2, which was close to that of thifluzamide (83.3%). Furthermore, molecular docking explained the possible binding mode of compound 9ac in the RcSDH active site. Our studies indicated that the pyrazole-thiazole carboxamide hybrid is a new scaffold of SDH inhibitors.

Abstract
In past decades, interdisciplinary research has been of great interest for scholars. Thiazolidine motifs behave as a bridge between organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry and compel researchers to explore new drug candidates. Thiazolidine motifs are very intriguing heterocyclic five-membered moieties present in diverse natural and bioactive compounds having sulfur at the first position and nitrogen at the third position. The presence of sulfur enhances their pharmacological properties, and, therefore, they are used as vehicles in the synthesis of valuable organic combinations. They show varied biological properties viz. anticancer, anticonvulsant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, antioxidant activity and so on. This diversity in the biological response makes it a highly prized moiety. Based on literature studies, various synthetic approaches like multicomponent reaction, click reaction, nano-catalysis and green chemistry have been employed to improve their selectivity, purity, product yield and pharmacokinetic activity. In this review article, we have summarized systematic approaches for the synthesis of thiazolidine and its derivatives, along with their pharmacological activity, including advantages of green synthesis, atom economy, cleaner reaction profile and catalyst recovery which will help scientists to probe and stimulate the study of these scaffolds.

Abstract
Fungal pathogens cause serious crop diseases and decrease crop yields and quality. Polyacetylene alcohols are plant secondary metabolites and bioactive against various pathogenic fungi. They are, however, difficult to synthesize. In the present study, an efficient and highly enantioselective method (>98% ee) was established and employed to achieve the synthesis of the natural C18 polyacetylenes (S,E)-octadeca-1,9-dien-4,6-diyn-3-ol 1, (3R,10R,E)-octadeca-1,8-dien-4,6-diyne-3,10-diol 2, and their analogs. The title compounds were structurally characterized and biologically evaluated for fungicidal activities. The compounds exhibited high potencies against eight pathogenic fungal species tested, such as Colletotrichum gloeosporioiles, Bipolaris sorokiniana, Fusarium graminearum, and Fusarium pseudograminearum, with half-maximum effective concentrations ranging from 8 to 425 μg/mL, being similar to those of the fungicide thiophanate-methyl (3-408 μg/mL). These compounds are potential natural fungicides and fungicide lead candidates for further structural and property improvements.

Abstract
A novel simple 1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-carbohydrazide was reported to discover low-cost and versatile antifungal agents. Bioassay results suggested that a majority of the designed compounds were extremely bioactive against four types of fungi and two kinds of oomycetes. This extreme bioactivity was highlighted by the applausive inhibitory effects of compounds 4b, 4h, 5c, 5g, 5h, 5i, 5m, 5p, 5t, and 5v against Gibberella zeae, affording EC50 values ranging from 0.486 to 0.799 μg/mL, which were superior to that of fluopyram (2.96 μg/mL) and comparable to those of carbendazim (0.947 μg/mL) and prochloraz (0.570 μg/mL). Meanwhile, compounds 4g, 5f, 5i, and 5t showed significant actions against Fusarium oxysporum with EC50 values of 0.652, 0.706, 0.813, and 0.925 μg/mL, respectively. Pharmacophore exploration suggested that the N'-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-carbohydrazide pattern is necessary for the bioactivity. Molecular docking of 5h with succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) indicated that it can completely locate the inside of the binding pocket via hydrogen-bonding and hydrophobic interactions, revealing that this novel framework might target SDH. This result was further verified by the significant inhibitory effect on SDH activity. In addition, scanning electron microscopy patterns were performed to elucidate the anti-G. zeae mechanism. Given these features, this type of framework is a suitable template for future exploration of alternative SDH inhibitors against plant microbial infections.

Abstract
To contribute molecular diversity for novel fungicide development, a series of novel thiazole carboxamides were rationally designed, synthesized, and characterized with the succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) as target. Bioassay indicated that compound 6g showed the similar excellent SDH inhibition as that of Thifluzamide with IC50 of 0.56 mg/L and 0.55 mg/L, respectively. Some derivatives displayed improved in vitro fungicidal activities against Rhizoctonia cerealis and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum with EC50 of 1.2-16.4 mg/L and 0.5-1.9 mg/L. Surprisingly, 6g showed promising in vitro fungicidal activities against R. cerealis and S. sclerotiorum with EC50 of 6.2 and 0.6 mg/L, respectively, which was superior to Thifluzamide with the EC50 of 22.1 and 4.4 mg/L, respectively. Additionally, compounds 6c and 6g displayed excellent in vivo fungicidal activities against S. sclerotiorum on Brassica napus L. leaves with protective activity of 75.4% and 67.3% at 2.0 mg/L, respectively, while Thifluzamide without activity at 5.0 mg/L. Transcriptomic analysis of S. sclerotiorum treated with 6g by RNA sequencing indicated the down-regulation of succinate dehydrogenase gene SDHA and SDHB, and the inhibition of the TCA-cycle.
