Abstract
BACKGROUND Potato virus Y (PVY) is a prominent representative of plant viruses. It can inflict severe damage upon Solanaceae plants, leading to global dissemination and substantial economic losses. To discover new antiviral agents, a class of planar chiral thiourea molecules through the key step of N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed nitrile formation reaction was synthesized with excellent optical purities for antiviral evaluations against plant virus PVY. RESULTS The absolute configurations of the planar chiral compounds exhibited obvious distinctions in the anti-PVY activities. Notability, compound (S)-4u exhibited remarkable curative activities against PVY, with a half maximal effective concentration (EC50) of 349.3 μg mL-1, which was lower than that of the ningnanmycin (NNM) (EC50 = 400.8 μg mL-1). Additionally, The EC50 value for the protective effects of (S)-4u was 146.2 μg mL-1, which was superior to that of NNM (276.4 μg mL-1). Furthermore, the mechanism-of-action of enantiomers of planar chiral compound 4u was investigated through molecular docking, defensive enzyme activity tests and chlorophyll content tests. CONCLUSION Biological mechanism studies have demonstrated that the configuration of planar chiral target compounds plays a crucial role in the molecular interaction with PVY-CP, enhancing the activity of defense enzymes and affecting chlorophyll content. The current study has provided significant insights into the roles played by planar chiralities in plant protection against viruses. This paves the way for the development of novel green pesticides bearing planar chiralities with excellent optical purities. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Oxathiapiprolin (OXA), which targets the oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP), is an outstanding piperidinyl thiazole isoxazoline (PTI) fungicide that can be used to control oomycetes diseases. In this study, starting from the structure of OXA, a series of novel OSBP inhibitors were designed and synthesized by introducing an indole moiety to replace the pyrazole in OXA. Finally, compound b24 was found to exhibit the highest control effect (82%) against cucumber downy mildew (CDM) in the greenhouse at a very low dosage of 0.069 mg/L, which was comparable to that of OXA (88%). Furthermore, it showed better activity against potato late blight (PLB) than other derivatives of indole. The computational results showed that the R-conformation of b24 should be the dominant conformation binding to PcOSBP. The results of the present work indicate that the 3-fluorine-indole ring is a favorable fragment to increasing the electronic energy when binding with PcOSBP. Furthermore, compound b24 could be used as a lead compound for the discovery of new OSBP inhibitors.

Abstract
A series of ferulic acid dimers were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for anti-TMV activity. Biological assays demonstrated that compounds A6, E3, and E5 displayed excellent inactivating against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) with EC50 values of 62.8, 94.4, and 85.2 μg mL-1, respectively, which were superior to that of ningnanmycin (108.1 μg mL-1). Microscale thermophoresis indicated that compounds A6, E3, and E5 showed strong binding capacity to TMV coat protein with binding affinity values of 1.862, 3.439, and 2.926 μM, respectively. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation revealed that compound A6 could firmly bind to the TMV coat protein through hydrogen and hydrophobic bonds. Transmission electron microscopy and self-assembly experiments indicated that compound A6 obviously destroyed the integrity of the TMV particles and blocked the virus from infecting the host. This study revealed that A6 can be used as a promising leading structure for the development of antiviral agents by inhibiting TMV self-assembly.

Abstract
Potato virus Y (PVY) relies on aphids and tubers to spread in the field and causes serious economic losses in the potato industry. Here, we found that pyrido[1,2-α] pyrimidinone mesoionic compounds with insecticidal activity against aphids possessed a good inhibitory effect on PVY. Among them, compound 35 had the best inhibitory activity against PVY (EC50 = 104 μg/mL), even superior to that of ningnanmycin (125 μg/mL). The fluorescence and qPCR results confirmed that compound 35 could inhibit the proliferation of PVY in Nicotiana benthamiana. Preliminary experiments on the mechanism of action indicated that compound 35 had good binding affinity with the coat protein (CP), which plays an essential role in aphid-PVY interactions. Molecular docking revealed that compound 35 could bind to the pocket of CP formed by Ser52, Glu204, and Arg208. Compound 35 had substantially lower binding affinity (Kd) values with CPS52A (219 μM), CPE204A (231 μM), and CPR208A (189 μM) than those with CPWT (5.80 μM). A luciferase assay confirmed that mutating Ser52, Glu204, and Arg208 significantly affected the expression level of CP and further reduced virus proliferation. Therefore, the broad-spectrum activity of compound 35 provides a unique strategy for the prevention and treatment of PVY.

Abstract
The control of potato virus Y (PVY) induced crop failure is a challengeable issue in agricultural chemistry. Although many anti-PVY agents are designed to focus on the functionally important coat protein (CP) of virus, how these drugs act on CP to inactivate viral pathogenicity, remains largely unknown. Herein, a PVY CP inhibitor -3j (S) is disclosed, which is accessed by developing unusually efficient (up to 99% yield) and chemo-selective (> 99:1 er in most cases) carbene-catalyzed [3+4] cycloaddition reactions. Compound -3j bears a unique arylimidazole-fused diazepine skeleton and shows chirality-preferred performance against PVY. In addition, -3j (S) as a mediator allows ARG191 (R191) of CP to be identified as a key amino acid site responsible for intercellular movement of virions. R191 is further demonstrated to be critical for the interaction between PVY CP and the plant functional protein NtCPIP, enabling virions to cross plasmodesmata. This key step can be significantly inhibited through bonding with the -3j (S) to further impair pathogenic behaviors involving systemic infection and particle assembly. The study reveals the in-depth mechanism of action of antiviral agents targeting PVY CP, and contributes to new drug structures and synthetic strategies for PVY management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Plant bacterial infections and plant viruses seriously affect the yield and quality of crops. Based on the various activities of tryptanthrin, a series of tryptanthrin analogues bearing F and piperazine moieties were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their biological activities against three plant bacteria and tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). RESULTS Bioassay results indicated that compounds 6a-6l displayed excellent antibacterial activities in vitro and 6a-6c and 6g exhibited better antiviral activities against TMV than commercial ribavirin. In particular, 6b showed the most effect on Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) with a half-maximal effective concentration (EC50 ) of 1.26 μg mL-1 , compared with the commercial pesticide bismerthiazol (BT; EC50 = 34.3 μg mL-1 ) and thiodiazole copper (TC; EC50 = 73.3 μg mL-1 ). Meanwhile, 6a also had the best antiviral activity at 500 μg mL-1 for curative, protection, and inactivation purposes, compared with ribavirin in vivo. CONCLUSION Compound 6b could cause changes in bacterial morphology, induce the accumulation of reactive oxygen species, promote apoptosis of bacterial cells, inhibit the formation of biofilm, and block the growth of Xoo cells. Proteomic analysis revealed major differences in the bacterial secretory system pathways T2SS and T6SS, which inhibited membrane transport. Molecular docking revealed that 6a and 6g could interact with TMV coat protein preventing virus assembly. These results suggest that tryptanthrin analogues bearing F and piperazine moieties could be promising candidate agents for antibacterial and antiviral use in agricultural production. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Viral infections in plants pose major challenges to agriculture and global food security in the twenty-first century. Plants have evolved a diverse range of specialized metabolites (PSMs) for defenses against pathogens. Although, PSMs-mediated plant-microorganism interactions have been widely discovered, these are mainly confined to plant-bacteria or plant-fungal interactions. PSM-mediated plant-virus interaction, however, is more complicated often due to the additional involvement of virus spreading vectors. Here, we review the major classes of PSMs and their emerging roles involved in antiviral resistances. In addition, evolutionary scenarios for PSM-mediated interactions between plant, virus and virus-transmitting vectors are presented. These advancements in comprehending the biochemical language of PSMs during plant-virus interactions not only lay the foundation for understanding potential co-evolution across life kingdoms, but also open a gateway to the fundamental principles of biological control strategies and beyond.

Abstract
Potato virus Y (PVY) is a highly destructive pathogen that infects Solanum tuberosumvL., commonly known as potato, a crop that produces one of the most crucial food staples of the world. The PVY viral infection can considerably reduce the yield and quality of potatoes, thereby causing significant economic ramifications. Given the unsatisfactory performance of commercially available antiviral agents against PVY, we synthesized a series of novel indole-derived compounds followed by their bioevaluation and investigation of the mechanisms governing their anti-PVY activity. These indole-based derivatives contain dithioacetal as a key chemical moiety, and most of them exhibit promising anti-PVY activities. In particular, compound B2 displays remarkable in vivo protective and inactivating properties, with half-maximal effective concentration (EC50) values of 209.3 and 113.0 μg/mL, respectively, in stark contrast to commercial agents such as ningnanmycin (EC50 = 281.4 and 136.3 μg/mL, respectively) and ribavirin (EC50 = 744.8 and 655.4 μg/mL, respectively). The mechanism using which B2 enhances plant immune response to protect plants from PVY is elucidated using enzyme activity tests, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), and proteomics techniques. This study aims to pave the way for developing candidate pesticides and related molecules using antiphytoviral activity.

Abstract
Vanisulfane is a plant resistance inducer that exhibits potent activity against potato virus Y (PVY), but its mechanism of action against this virus remains unclear. Our results showed that when we used 400 μg/mL of vanisulfane, it provided an impressive level of control (63.55%) against PVY in Nicotiana benthamiana L. Meanwhile, vanisulfane increased activities of catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), and phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) as well as inducing H2O2 accumulation and Ca2+ influx to mediate PVY resistance. Furthermore, combined transcriptome and proteome analyses revealed that vanisulfane upregulated the POD52, APX, and PR-1 genes and proteins in the salicylic acid (SA) signaling pathway. Experiments demonstrated that vanisulfane triggered the accumulation of SA, upregulated the expression of ICS1 and PR-1 genes, and induced resistance against PVY in transgenic Arabidopsis plants. Consequently, it can be concluded that vanisulfane mediates the SA-dependent signaling pathway to confer PVY resistance in plants.

Abstract
Taking inspiration from the use of natural product-derived bactericide candidates in drug discovery, a series of novel 9-aliphatic amine tryptanthrin derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their biological activity against three plant bacteria. The majority of these compounds exhibited excellent antibacterial activity in vitro. Compound 7c exhibited a significantly superior bacteriostatic effect against Xanthomonas axonopodis pv Citri (Xac), Xanthomonas oryzae pv Oryzae (Xoo), and Pseudomonas syringae pv Actinidiae (Psa) with final corrected EC50 values of 0.769, 1.29, and 15.5 μg/mL, respectively, compared to the commercial pesticide thiodiazole copper which had EC50 values of 58.8, 70.9, and 91.9 μg/mL. Preliminary mechanism studies have demonstrated that 7c is capable of altering bacterial morphology, inducing reactive oxygen species accumulation, promoting bacterial cell apoptosis, inhibiting normal cell growth, and affecting cell membrane permeability. Moreover, in vivo experiments have substantiated the effectiveness of 7c as a therapeutic and defensive agent against the citrus canker. The proteomic analysis has unveiled that the major disparities are located within the bacterial secretion system pathway, which hinders membrane transportation. These discoveries imply that 7c could be an auspicious prototype for developing antiphytopathogenic bacterial agents.

PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2023; 79:2527-2538. [PMID: 36864730 DOI: 10.1002/ps.7428] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2023] [Revised: 02/16/2023] [Accepted: 03/02/2023] [Indexed: 06/02/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Potato virus Y (PVY) was first discovered by Smith in 1931 and is currently ranked as the fifth most significant plant virus. It can cause severe damage to plants from the family Solanaceae, which results in billions of dollars of economic loss worldwide every year. To discover new antiviral drugs, a class of multifunctional urazole derivatives bearing a stereogenic CN axis were synthesized with excellent optical purities for antiviral evaluations against PVY. RESULTS The absolute configurations of the axially chiral compounds exhibited obvious distinctions in antiviral bioactivities, with several of these enantio-enriched axially chiral molecules showing excellent anti-PVY activities. In particular, compound (R)-9f exhibited remarkable curative activities against PVY with a 50% maximal effective concentration (EC50 ) of 224.9 μg mL-1 , which was better than that of ningnanmycin (NNM), which had an EC50 of 234.0 μg mL-1 . And the EC50 value of the protective activities of compound (R)-9f was 462.2 μg mL-1 , which was comparable to that of NNM (442.0 μg mL-1 ). The mechanisms of two enantiomer of the axially chiral compounds 9f were studied by both molecule docking and defensive enzyme activity tests. CONCLUSION Mechanistic studies demonstrated that the axially chiral configurations of the compounds played significant roles in the molecule PVY-CP (PVY Coat Protein) interactions and could enhance the activities of the defense enzymes. The (S)-9f showed only one carbon-hydrogen bond and one π-cation interaction between the chiral molecule and the PVY-CP amino acid sites. In contrast, the (R)-enantiomer of 9f exhibited three hydrogen bonding interactions between the carbonyl groups and the PVY-CP active sites of ARG157 and GLN158. The current study provides significant information on the roles that axial chiralities play in plant protection against viruses, which will facilitate the development of novel green pesticides bearing axial chiralities with excellent optical purities. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
In this study, a commercial agent with antivirus activity and moroxydine hydrochloride were employed to perform a lead optimization. A series of 1,3,5-triazine derivatives with piperazine structures were devised and synthesized, and an evaluation of their anti-potato virus Y (PVY) activity revealed that several of the target compounds possessed potent anti-PVY activity. The synthesis of compound C35 was directed by a 3D-quantitative structure-activity relationship that used the compound's structural parameters. The assessment of the anti-PVY activity of compound C35 revealed that its curative, protective, and inactivation activities (53.3 ± 2.5%, 56.9 ± 1.5%, and 85.8 ± 4.4%, respectively) were comparable to the positive control of ningnanmycin (49.1 ± 2.4%, 50.7 ± 4.1%, and 82.3 ± 6.4%) and were superior to moroxydine hydrochloride (36.7 ± 2.7%, 31.4 ± 2.0%, and 57.1 ± 1.8%). In addition, molecular docking demonstrated that C35 can form hydrogen bonds with glutamic acid at position 150 (GLU 150) of PVY CP, providing a partial theoretical basis for the antiviral activity of the target compounds.

Abstract
The natural alkaloids of tryptanthrin and their derivatives have a wide range of biological activities. In this research, four series of azatryptanthrin derivatives containing 4-aza/3-aza/2-aza/1-aza tryptanthrin were prepared by condensation cyclization reaction against plant pathogens to develop a new natural product-based bacterial pesticide. Compound 4Aza-8 displayed a remarkable growth inhibitory effect on pathogenic bacteria of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri (Xac), Xanthomonas oryzae pv. Oryzae (Xoo), and Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa) with the final corrected EC50 values of 0.312, 1.91, and 18.0 μg/mL, respectively, which were greatly superior than that of tryptanthrin (Tryp). Moreover, 4Aza-8 also showed effective therapeutic and protective activities in vivo on citrus canker. Further mechanism studies on Xac elucidated that compound 4Aza-8 was able to affect the growth curve of Xac and the formation of biofilm, cause severe shrinkage in bacterial morphology, increase reactive oxygen species levels, and induce apoptosis in bacterial cells. Quantitative analysis of differential protein profiles found that the major differences were mainly concentrated on the endometrial protein in the bacterial secretion system pathway, which blocked the membrane transport and affected the transfer of DNA to the host cell. In summary, these research results suggest that 4Aza-8 represents a promising anti-phytopathogenic-bacteria agent, which is worth being further investigated as a bactericide candidate.

Abstract
To further develop new antiviral agents, several novel cyclized derivatives of ferulic acid were designed and synthesized. Their antiviral activities were evaluated against the cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV), and tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV). The results showed that some ferulic acid derivatives exhibited desirable antiviral activities. Particularly, compound 5e exhibited excellent protective activities against CMV, PMMoV, and TSWV, with EC50 values of 167.2, 102.5, and 145.8 μg mL-1, respectively, which were superior to those obtained for trans-ferulic acid (581.7, 611.2, and 615.4 μg mL-1), dufulin (312.6, 302.5, and 298.2 μg mL-1), and ningnanmycin (264.3, 282.5, and 276.5 μg mL-1). Thereafter, the protective mechanisms of 5e were evaluated through photosynthesis evaluation, transcriptome profiling, and proteomic analysis. The results indicated that 5e significantly activated the expression levels of photosynthesis-related regulatory genes and proteins in tobacco plants and promoted the accumulation of defense molecules to resist viral infection. Thus, the findings of this study indicated that novel cyclized ferulic acid derivatives are potential antiviral agents that act via regulating photosynthesis in the host.

Abstract
Indole compounds with their unique properties of mimicking peptide structures and reversible binding to enzymes are of great exploitative value in the regulation of plant growth. They stimulate root and fruit formation and activate the plant's immune system against biotic and abiotic factors harmful to the plant. Analysis of target recognition, receptor recognition, key activation sites and activation mechanisms of indoles in plant to enhance crop growth or disease resistance is a crucial step for further developing compounds as plant growth regulators and immune inducers. Therefore, this review focused on the mechanism of action of indoles in regulating plant growth and enhancing plant resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses.

Abstract
3-Hydroxy-2-oxindole motif constitutes a core structure in numerous natural products and imparts notable biological activities. Here, we describe the design and synthesis of four series of novel 3-substituted-3-hydroxy-2-oxindole derivatives containing sulfonamide moiety along with their antiviral activities against potato virus Y (PVY). Compound 10b displayed optimal antiviral activity and superior anti-PVY activity compared with the lead compound and commercial Ningnanmycin in terms of curative and protective effects. Additionally, 10b considerably inhibited PVY systemic infection in Nicotiana benthamiana. Physiological and biochemical analyses revealed that the activities of the four crucial defense-related enzymes increased in the tobacco plant following treatment with 10b. RNA-sequencing analysis revealed that 10b substantially induced the upregulation of 38 differentially expressed genes, which were enriched in the photosynthesis pathway. These findings suggest that 10b is a promising antiviral agrochemical that can effectively control PVY infection and trigger plant host immunity to develop virus resistance. This study provides novel molecular entities and ideas for developing new pesticides.

Abstract
Nicotiana tabacum (tobacco) has attracted interest as one of the most economically important industrial crops widely cultivated in China, whose dried leaves are popularly consumed medicinally and recreationally by human societies. In this study, five undescribed alkaloids derivatives, isoaspergillines A-E, together with eight known alkaloids, notoamide D, (1R,4S)-4-benzyl-1-isopropyl-2,4-dihydro-1H-pyrazino-[2,1-b]quinazoline-3,6-dione, protuboxepin K, notoamide C, notoamide M, deoxybrevianamide E, cyclo (D-Pro-L-Trp), and versicolamide B, were obtained from the culture of the Nicotiana tabacum-derived fungus Aspergillus versicolor. Their structures were mainly elucidated through comprehensive analyses of spectroscopic data. Bioactivity evaluation of all isolated compounds revealed that isoaspergilline A and notoamide M exhibited anti-TMV activities with IC50 values of 20.0 and 22.8 μM, respectively. Molecular docking suggested that isoaspergilline A and notoamide M were well located into the active site of anti-TMV by interacting with SER138, SER143, and ASN73 residues. This study enlightens the therapeutic potential of the endophytic fungus A. versicolor and it is helpful to find undescribed anti-TMV activity inhibitors, as well as searching for new anti-TMV candidates from natural sources.

Abstract
We designed and synthesized a series of pyridine spiro derivatives and evaluated their insecticidal and antiviral activities. Some compounds exhibited good insecticidal and antiviral activities. Notably, the E series of compounds displayed good insecticidal activity against Tetranychus urticae. Compounds E20 (EC50 = 63.68 mg/L) and F4 (EC50 = 47.81 mg/L) exhibited inactivation activities against the tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), which were similar to that of Ningnanmycin (EC50 = 58.01 mg/L). Molecular docking showed that compounds E20 and F4 exhibited satisfactory affinities for the TMV coat protein (TMV-CP), with binding energies (-6.7 and -6.4 kcal/mol, respectively) slightly lower than that of Ningnanmycin (-6.3 kcal/mol). Further, molecular dynamics analysis revealed that compounds E20 and F4 exhibited better binding stability values than Ningnanmycin. Microscale thermophoresis showed that compounds E20 (Kd = 0.053 ± 0.016 μM) and F4 (Kd = 0.045 ± 0.022 μM) bound more strongly to TMV-CP than Ningnanmycin (Kd = 0.10 ± 0.029 μM). The results of transmission electron microscopy showed that these two compounds hindered the self-assembly and growth of TMV. In summary, we showed that these pyridine spiro derivatives could be used as a basis for the research and development of novel pesticides.

Abstract
β-Methoxyacrylate derivatives represent a new class of pesticides, which have attracted increasing attention owing to their unique structure, broad biological activity, and unique mechanisms of action. They inhibit mitochondrial respiration via preventing electron transfer at the Qo site of the cytochrome bc1 complex and thus are identified as cyt bc1 inhibitors. A variety of β-methoxyacrylate derivatives have been reported by many research groups for discovery of novel pesticides with improved expected activities. This review focuses on development of β-methoxyacrylate derivatives with great significance as pesticides such as fungicides, acaricides, insecticides, herbicides, and antiviral agents. In addition, the structure-activity relationships (SARs) of β-methoxyacrylate derivatives are summarized. Moreover, the cause of resistance to β-methoxyacrylate fungicides and some solutions are also introduced. Finally, the development trend of β-methoxyacrylate derivatives as pesticides is explored. We hope the review will give a guide to develop novel β-methoxyacrylate pesticides in the future.

Abstract
Plant virus diseases seriously affect crop yield, especially tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and cucumber mosaic virus (CMV). The development of plant immune activators has been an important direction in the innovation of new pesticides. Therefore, we designed and synthesized a series of trifluoromethyl pyridine piperazine derivatives (A1-A27), and explored the action mechanism of active compound. The antiviral activity test showed that compounds A1, A2, A3, A9, A10, A16, A17 and A21 possessed higher activities than commercialized ningnanmycin. Particularly, the in vivo antiviral activity indicated that compound A16 showed the most potent protective activity toward TMV (EC50 = 18.4 μg/mL) and CMV (EC50 = 347.8 μg/mL), compared to ningnanmycin (50.2 μg /mL for TMV, 359.6 μg/mL for CMV). The activities of defense enzyme, label -free proteomic and qRT-PCR analysis showed that compound A16 could enhance the defensive enzyme activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD),polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and phenylalanine ammonialyase (PAL), and activate the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway to strenthen the antiviral activities of tobacco. This study provides reliable support for the development of new antiviral pesticides and potential antiviral mechanism.

Abstract
The applications of mesoionic compounds and their analogues as agents against plant viruses remain unexplored. This was the first evaluation of the antiviral activities of mesoionic compounds on this issue. Our study involved the design and synthesis of a series of novel imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine mesoionic compounds containing a sulfonamide moiety and the assessment of their antiviral activities against potato virus Y (PVY). Compound A33 was assessed on the basis of three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) model analysis and displayed good curative, protective, and inactivating activity effects against PVY at 500 mg/L, up to 51.0, 62.0, and 82.1%, respectively, which were higher than those of commercial ningnanmycin (NNM, at 47.2, 50.1, and 81.4%). Significantly, defensive enzyme activities and proteomics results showed that compound A33 could enhance the defense response by activating the activity of defense enzymes, inducing the glycolysis/gluconeogenesis pathway of tobacco to resist PVY infection. Therefore, our study indicates that compound A33 could be applied as a potential viral inhibitor.

Abstract
Quinoxaline and its derivatives are important functional molecules with a broad range of applications. Disclosed here is a design and synthesis of a series of novel quinoxaline derivatives containing dithioacetal moieties as well as their antiviral activities against potato virus Y (PVY). The compound D30 was developed on the basis of the three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship. The anti-PVY activity test showed that the half maximal effective concentration of the anti-PVY protective activity of compound D30 is 197 μg/mL, which was better than the control agents ningnanmycin (423 μg/mL) and xiangcaoliusuobingmi (281 μg/mL). Significantly, compound D30 can increase defense enzyme activity and chlorophyll content, promote photosynthesis by accelerating carbon fixation in tobacco, and further improve plant disease resistance. All of these results suggest that compound D30 could be employed as a lead compound for novel PVY inhibitor discovery.

Abstract
In this study, the design and synthesis of novel pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidinone mesoionic derivatives incorporating dithioacetal structures were carried out. The three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) model was built according to the EC50 values and directed the synthesis of compound A32. The biological activity test against Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) and Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola (Xoc) indicated that compound A32 showed good antibacterial activity with EC50 values of 10.9 and 17.5 mg/L, which were lower than the EC50 values of bismerthiazol (29.3 and 39.8 mg/L) and thiodiazole copper (64.8 and 78.1 mg/L). Furthermore, the in vivo antibacterial activity against bacterial leaf blight (BLB) and bacterial leaf streak (BLS) revealed that the protective activity of compound A32 was 43.9 and 41.7%, respectively, which was better than the protective activity of thiodiazole copper (40.6 and 35.0%). In addition, the protective activity against bacterial leaf blight of compound A32 was associated with the increasing rice defensive enzyme activity and the upregulation of proteins involved in oxidative phosphorylation. Moreover, compound A32 could upregulate the expression of complex I (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydrogen (NADH) dehydrogenase) in the oxidative phosphorylation pathway, which was verified by complex I activity evaluation.

Abstract
Plant virus diseases, also known as “plant cancers”, cause serious harm to the agriculture of the world and huge economic losses every year. Antiviral agents are one of the most effective ways to control plant virus diseases. Ningnanmycin is currently the most successful anti-plant virus agent, but its field control effect is not ideal due to its instability. In recent years, great progress has been made in the research and development of antiviral agents, the mainstream research direction is to obtain antiviral agents or lead compounds based on structural modification of natural products. However, no antiviral agent has been able to completely inhibit plant viruses. Therefore, the development of highly effective antiviral agents still faces enormous challenges. Therefore, we reviewed the recent research progress of anti-plant virus agents based on natural products in the past decade, and discussed their structure-activity relationship (SAR) and mechanism of action. It is hoped that this review can provide new inspiration for the discovery and mechanism of action of novel antiviral agents.

Abstract
In this study, a series of novel mesoionic pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidinone compounds containing a natural skeleton indole were designed and synthesized, and the insecticidal activities of the target compounds were tested. The results showed that the target compounds had good to excellent insecticidal activities against white-backed planthoppers (Sogatella furcifera) and bean aphids (Aphis craccivora). Among them, compound 7 showed outstanding insecticidal activities against both S. furcifera and A. craccivora, with LC50 values of 0.86 and 0.85 μg/mL, respectively. The insecticidal activity against bean aphids (A. craccivora) was superior to that of triflumezopyrim (LC50 = 3.67 μg/mL). Proteomics and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) results revealed that compound 7 may interact with α1 and α7 nAChR subunits of S. furcifera. The results of enzyme activities indicated that compound 7 was an inhibitor of AChE in S. furcifera. This study provides new ideas for the discovery of new mesoionic pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidinone insecticides.

[PMID: 35001496 DOI: 10.1002/ps.6794] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2021] [Revised: 12/26/2021] [Accepted: 01/09/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Plant virus diseases are difficult to control and severely threaten the productivity of crops, which leads to huge financial losses. To discover the new antiviral drugs, 34 novel ferulic acid derivatives with piperazine moiety were synthesized, and the antiviral activities were systematically screened as well. RESULTS Bioassay results indicated that most of the target compounds had outstanding antiviral activities against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) in vivo. In particular, compound E2 exhibited remarkable curative activities to TMV and CMV with EC50 values of 189.0 and 401.7 μg/mL compared to those for ningnanmycin (387.0, 519.3 μg/mL) and ribavirin (542.1, 721.5 μg/mL). And then the mechanisms of compound E2 were studied by chlorophyll content, differentially expressed proteins and genes tests. CONCLUSION The excellent antiviral activity of compound E2 was closely associated with the increase in host photosynthesis, which was confirmed by chlorophyll content, differentially expressed proteins and genes assays. Compound E2 can be considered as a lead structure for the discovery of new antiviral agents. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
A series of unreported novel dithioacetal derivatives containing a 4(3H)-quinazolinone pyrimidine ring were synthesized, and their antiviral activities were evaluated against tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV). A three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) analysis was established, and compound D32 was designed and synthesized according to the analysis results of the CoMFA and CoMSIA models. The bioassay results showed that compound D32 exhibited excellent inactivation activity against TSWV, with EC50 values of 144 μg/mL, which was better than those of ningnanmycin (149 μg/mL) and the lead compound xiangcaoliusuobingmi (525 μg/mL). The binding ability of compound D32 to TSWV CP was tested by microscale thermophoresis (MST), and the binding constant value was 4.4 μM, which was better than those of ningnanmycin (6.2 μM) and xiangcaoliusuobingmi (59.1 μM). Therefore, this study indicates that novel dithioacetal derivatives containing a 4(3H)-quinazolinone pyrimidine ring may be applied as new antiviral agents.

Abstract
Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) is a plant virus with strong infectivity and destructive power. Given the lack of effective control agents, TSWV causes significant economic damage to several vegetables and ornamental plants worldwide. In this study, we designed and synthesized a series of novel quinazolinone derivatives containing a dithioacetal moiety and evaluated their antiviral activity in vitro and in vivo against TSWV. Some candidate compounds showed good anti-TSWV activity. Compound 6n shows excellent anti-TSWV activity in vivo, and the EC50 value is 188 mg/L, which is notably better than that observed for ribavirin (642 mg/L), xiangcaoliusuobingmi (420 mg/L), and ningnanmycin (257 mg/L). In addition, compound 6n interacts with TSWV coat protein at sites ARG94 and ARG95 forming four π-alkyl interactions. Compound 6n (9.4 μM) shows a better binding affinity with TSWV coat protein than ribavirin (67.8 μM), xiangcaoliusuobingmi (33.8 μM), and ningnanmycin (24.3 μM). Therefore, compound 6n can serve as a lead compound for the discovery of new antiviral agents for the management of TSWV.

Abstract
A series of novel butenolide derivatives containing an amide were designed and synthesized with flupyradifurone as the lead compound. The biological activities test found that this series of compounds did not exhibit insecticidal activity, but had good antibacterial activities. Among all target compounds, compound 19 showed good antibacterial activity in vitro against Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), with an EC50 value of 35.8 mg/L, which was superior to that of bismerthiazol (73.5 mg/L). Under greenhouse conditions, the curative and protective activities of compound 19 against bacterial leaf blight were 40.9% and 48.9% at 100 mg/L, respectively, which were superior to those of bismerthiazol (31.2% and 31.4%). In addition, compound 19 can not only cause changes in the cell surface morphology of Xoo, but also increase the activity of rice defense enzymes. The mechanism of action studies showed that the protective activity of compound 19 against rice bacterial leaf blight is closely related to the improvement of defense-related enzyme activities and the upregulation of proteins involved in oxidative phosphorylation.

Abstract
A series of novel chromone derivatives containing dithioacetals were prepared, and their antiviral activity against tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) was studied. The results showed that compounds A1-A31 had good inhibitory activity against TSWV. The 3D-QSAR model was built to analyze the structure-activity relationship of the compounds. We further found that compounds A32 and A33 had excellent anti-TSWV activities based on the results of 3D-QSAR, which were better than the control agents ningnanmycin and ribavirin. To study the mode of action of these compounds on TSWV, the nucleocapsid protein of TSWV (TSWV N) was cloned, expressed, and purified in the study. The results of the microscale thermophoresis (MST) experiments indicate that compound A33 can better bind with TSWV N. The molecular docking experiment further indicated that the mode of action of the compound A33 is to inhibit the virus by blocking the combination of TSWV N and viral RNA. Therefore, this study has found that chromone compound A33 is a potential anti-TSWV agent that targets TSWV N.

Abstract
A series of new ferulic acid derivatives bearing an oxadiazole ether was synthesized by introducing a structure of oxadiazole into trans-ferulic acid via an ether linkage. The synthesized target compounds were evaluated in vivo for their anti-TMV (tobacco mosaic virus) activity, which indicated that some synthesized compounds displayed strong activity for controlling TMV. For protective activity, compounds 6f and 6h had the most activities of 65% and 69.8% at 500 mg L-1, respectively. Compounds 6a, 6b, 6e, 6f and 6h showed > 60% curative activities at 500 mg L-1. Preliminary proteomics analysis showed that compound 6h could regulate the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway and chloroplast function. These results indicated that synthesized novel ferulic acid derivatives could be used for controlling TMV.

Abstract
Difficulty in preventing crops from plant viruses urges to discover novel efficient antiviral chemicals, which is sped up by precise screening methods. Fluorescence-based methods have recently been applied as innovative and rapid tools for visually monitoring the replication of viruses and screening of antivirals, whereas the quantification of fluorescence signals mainly depends on manually calculating the fluorescent spots, which is time-consuming and imprecise. In the present work, the fluorescence spots were automatically identified, and the fluorescence area was directly quantified by a program developed in our group, which avoided subjective errors from the operators. We further employed this digital and visual screening assay to identify antivirals using the tobacco mosaic virus-green fluorescence protein (TMV-GFP) construct, in which the expression of GFP intuitively reflected the efficacy of antivirals. The accuracy of this assay was validated by quantifying the activities of the commercial antiviral inhibitors ribavirin and ningnanmycin and then was applied to evaluate the subtle activity differences of a series of newly synthesized carbazole and β-carboline alkaloid derivatives. Among them, compounds 5 (76%) and 11 (63%) exhibited anti-TMV activities comparable to that of ningnanmycin (65%) at 50 μM, and they delayed the multiplication of TMV in the early stage of infection without phytotoxicity. Taken together, these findings demonstrated that the digital and visual TMV-GFP screening method was competent to test the antiviral activities of compounds with subtle modifications and facilitated the discovery of novel antivirals.

Reticine A, a new potent natural elicitor: isolation from the fruit peel of Citrus reticulate and induction of systemic resistance against tobacco mosaic virus and other plant fungal diseases. PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2021; 77:354-364. [PMID: 32741113 DOI: 10.1002/ps.6025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2020] [Revised: 07/12/2020] [Accepted: 08/01/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) induced by elicitors is a highly satisfying form of resistance that protects plants against invading pathogens. Exploration and development of new elicitors is a promising alternative to conventional biocides in resistant pest management. In our previous broad screening, fruit peel extract of Citrus reticulata Blanco exhibited the ability to induce SAR in tobacco. RESULT A new potent elicitor reticine A was isolated from the fruit peel extract of industrial crop C. reticulate and its structure was well elucidated. In vivo assays showed that reticine A had considerable control efficacies at 100 and 500 μg mL-1 , being superior to commercial elicitor benzothiadiazole (BTH) (100 μg mL-1 ). Reticine A had no significant impact on the virulence of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) particles under in vitro conditions. Application of reticine A induced a local hypersensitive reaction (HR), systemic accumulation of H2 O2 and salicylic acid (SA), systemic increase in defensive enzyme activities and systemic upregulated expression of pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins, suggesting its induction of SAR in tobacco. The expression of NPR1 and SA biosynthesis genes ICS and PAL were systemically upregulated. CONCLUSION SAR induced by reticine A against TMV in tobacco was demonstrated and the mechanism might be attributed to activating the expression of several defensive genes mediated by an SA signal. This study highlights the potential of reticine A which is recommended to be applied directly or as an active ingredient in the crude extract formulation ahead of time in the field, as well as being a potential lead compound for further optimization.

Abstract
Novel pyrimidine sulfide derivatives containing a dithioacetal and strobilurin moiety were designed and synthesized. Their antiviral activities against tomato chlorosis virus (ToCV) were investigated through the tomato chlorosis virus coat protein (ToCVCP)-oriented screening method. Microscale thermophoresis was used to study the interaction between the compound and the ToCVCP. Compounds B13 and B23 interacted better with ToCVCP than the other compounds and had dissociation constant (Kd) values of 0.09 and 0.06 μM, respectively. These values were lower than those of the control agents, ningnanmycin (0.19 μM) and ribavirin (6.54 μM), which indicated that the compounds had a strong binding effect with ToCVCP. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to evaluate the role of compounds B13 and B23 in the gene regulation of ToCVCP. Both compounds significantly reduced the expression level of the ToCVCP gene in Nicotiana benthamiana with reduction values of 88 and 83%, which were better than those of ningnanmycin (65%) and lead compound C14 (73%). Pyrimidine sulfide containing a dithioacetal and strobilurin moiety is significant in the research and development of novel anti-ToCV agents.

[PMID: 32448422 DOI: 10.1016/j.pestbp.2020.104568] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2020] [Revised: 03/22/2020] [Accepted: 03/23/2020] [Indexed: 05/24/2023]
Abstract
Thirty unreported indole derivatives containing dithioacetal moiety were synthesized and evaluated for anti-plant viral activity. Bioassay results displayed that some of the target compounds showed better activities against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) than the commercial Ribavirin in vivo. In particular, anti-TMV curative, protective and inactivating activity of 4p were 55.1, 57.2, and 80.3%, respectively, and EC50 value for inactivating activity was 88.5 μg/mL. The observation of transmission electron microscope showed that 4p may have a certain destructive effect on TMV particles. To further study, microscale thermophoresis analysis result also demonstrated that 4p powerfully interacted with TMV coat protein in vitro. Hence, this study provides a strong evidence suporting that indole derivatives might be applied as new antiviral agents.

Bioorg Med Chem Lett 2020; 30:127260. [PMID: 32527454 DOI: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2020.127260] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2020] [Revised: 05/04/2020] [Accepted: 05/10/2020] [Indexed: 01/12/2023]
Abstract
Natural products are very important sources for the development of new pesticides. Osthole, derived from many medical plants such as Cnidium, Angelica and Citrus plants, is a naturally occurring coumarin compound. To discover the new natural products-based insecticides, thirty-one osthole-based esters containing O-acyl-hydroxylamine groups were prepared, and their structures were identified by different spectral analysis methods. Derivatives A7, A17, A20 and A25 displayed more potent growth inhibitory (GI) activity than the botanical insecticide, toosendanin. Over half of target osthole derivatives had more effective larvicidal effect on P. xylostella than toosendanin. Among all title derivatives, compound A18 displayed more pronounced larvicidal activity (LC50 = 0.64 μmol mL-1) when compared with toosendanin (LC50 = 0.94 μmol mL-1). Some interesting results of structure-activity relationships (SARs) of these osthole derivatives were also discussed. In addition, the hemolysis and cytotoxicity assays indicated that these osthole derivatives showed very low toxicity toward normal mammalian cells.

Abstract
A series of novel quinazolinone sulfide derivatives containing a dithioacetal moiety were designed and synthesized using Tomato chlorosis virus coat protein (ToCVCP) as a potential drug target, and the inhibitory effect of ToCV was systematically evaluated in vitro and in vivo. The experimental results showed that most of the compounds presented a strong affinity. Notably, the binding abilities of compounds D8 and D16 to ToCVCP both reached a micromolar level, which were 0.19 and 0.83 μM, respectively. The relative expression level of ToCVCP gene was detected using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction in Nicotiana benthamiana. Compounds D8 and D16 significantly reduced the relative expression level of ToCVCP gene by 93.34 and 83.47%, respectively, which were better than those of conventional antiviral agents. This study lays a good foundation for the structural design and modification of quinazolinone sulfide derivatives as anti-ToCV drugs.
