Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24065354. [PMID: 36982426 PMCID: PMC10049333 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24065354] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2023] [Revised: 03/01/2023] [Accepted: 03/02/2023] [Indexed: 03/14/2023] Open
Abstract
There is a growing risk of pollinators being exposed to multiple fungicides due to the widespread use of fungicides for plant protection. A safety assessment of honeybees exposed to multiple commonly used fungicides is urgently required. Therefore, the acute oral toxicity of the ternary mixed fungicide of ABP (azoxystrobin: boscalid: pyraclostrobin = 1:1:1, m/m/m) was tested on honeybees (Apis cerana cerana), and its sublethal effect on foragers’ guts was evaluated. The results showed that the acute oral median lethal concentration (LD50) of ABP for foragers was 12.6 μg a.i./bee. ABP caused disorder of the morphological structure of midgut tissue and affected the intestinal metabolism; the composition and structure of the intestinal microbial community was perturbed, which altered its function. Moreover, the transcripts of genes involved in detoxification and immunity were strongly upregulated with ABP treatment. The study implies that exposure to a fungicide mixture of ABP can cause a series of negative effects on the health of foragers. This work provides a comprehensive understanding of the comprehensive effects of common fungicides on non-target pollinators in the context of ecological risk assessment and the future use of fungicides in agriculture.

Abstract
To discover new compounds with favorable herbicidal activity, a range of phenylpyridine moiety-containing pyrazole derivatives were designed, synthesized, and identified via NMR and HRMS. Their herbicidal activities against six species of weeds were evaluated in a greenhouse via both pre- and post-emergence treatments at 150 g a.i./hm2. The bioassay revealed that a few compounds exhibited moderate herbicidal activities against Digitaria sanguinalis, Abutilon theophrasti, and Setaria viridis in post-emergence treatment. For instance, compounds 6a and 6c demonstrated 50% inhibition activity against Setaria viridis, which was slightly superior to pyroxasulfone. Thus, compounds 6a and 6c may serve as the new possible leading compounds for the discovery of post-emergence herbicides.

Abstract
As a continuous effort toward developing novel and highly efficient agrochemicals for integrated management of crop pathogens, two series of oxime ester derivatives from indole and tetrahydroquinoline natural scaffolds were prepared. Guided by the preliminary inhibition rates against ubiquitous and representative fungi, the antifungal profile of the target compounds against Valsa mali was intensively and extensively studied. The tetrahydroquinoline-based derivatives 12a-12r exerted a promising inhibition effect, especially against V. mali. The remarkable compounds 12p (R = 4-OCF3) and 12r (R = 4-OBn) with EC50 values of 0.81 and 0.47 μg/mL, respectively, have a far more prominent activity than commercial fungicide trifloxystrobin. The biochemistry and physiology responses of V. mali after treatment with target compound 12p was examined, and the fruit body production, hyphae morphology, and organelles were profoundly affected. Moreover, the curative effects of compound 12p on apple detached branches and leaves were 57.69 and 64.84% at 100 μg/mL, respectively, which were even superior to that of trifloxystrobin. Meanwhile, the three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship model [comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA): q2 = 0.823, r2 = 0.924, F = 189.781, and standard error of estimation (SEE) = 0.138 and comparative molecular similarity index analysis (CoMSIA): q2 = 0.795, r2 = 0.904, F = 145.644, and SEE = 0.156] indicated that the antifungal activity of target compounds was facilitated by crucial structural factors, which would render inspiration for further design and discovery of novel fungicidal candidates.

Abstract
Laccase is a novel target for fungicides. We previously developed a new fungicide, 4-chlorocinnamaldehyde thiosemicarbazide (PMDD-5Y), as a laccase inhibitor. The introduction of active groups of natural products into the framework of a pesticide molecular structure is an effective method for discovering active lead compounds, and it has applications in the discovery of new pesticides. In this work, PMDD-5Y was selected as a lead compound, and we designed and synthesized a series of novel sulfonyl hydrazide derivatives containing the natural product scaffold 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline. The new compounds had antifungal activities against several fungi, especially Valsa mali and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. One compound (4bl) displayed very good in vitro activity against S. sclerotiorum and V. mali, with EC50 values of 3.32 and 2.78 μg/mL, respectively. The results of an enzyme activity assay showed that 4bh had the best inhibitory activity against laccase, with an EC50 value of 14.85 μg/mL. This was more active than the lead compound PMDD-5Y and the positive control cysteine. Using a molecular docking method, we studied the binding mode of the title compounds with laccase. The structural features of these new laccase inhibitors as fungicides will advance research and impact the field of discovering more potent fungicides to control diseases in agriculture.

Abstract
Natural β-carboline alkaloids are ideal models for the discovery of pharmaceutically important entities. Various 1-substituted β-carbolines were synthesized from commercially inexpensive tryptophan and demonstrated significant in vitro antifungal activity against G. graminis. Significantly, compound 4m (EC50 = 0.45 μM) with carboxamide at 1-position displayed the best efficacy and nearly 20 folds enhancement in antifungal potential compared to Silthiopham (EC50 = 8.95 μM). Moreover, compounds 6, 7, and 4i exhibited excellent in vitro antifungal activities and in vivo protective and curative activities against B. cinerea and F. graminearum. Preliminary mechanism studies revealed that compound 4m caused reactive oxygen species accumulation, cell membrane destruction, and deregulation of histone acetylation. These findings indicated that 1-carbamoyl β-carboline can be selected as a promising model for the discovery of novel and broad-spectrum fungicide candidates.

Abstract
Carabrone, a botanical bicyclic sesquiterpenic lactone, has broad-spectrum antifungal activity and is particularly efficient against the devastating phytopathogen Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici (Ggt). The antifungal mechanism of carabrone against Ggt, however, remains unclear. The main objective of this study was to investigate the subcellular localization of carabrone in Ggt to gain a better understanding of its mechanism of action. When Ggt was exposed to carabrone (EC50 value of 28.45 μg/mL) for 7 days, a decline in mitochondrial concentration together with some obvious alternations in mitochondrial structure, including hazy outlines, medullary transitions, excess accumulation of unclear settlings, and vacuolar degeneration, were observed, indicating that carbrone may act on the mitochondria directly. A fluorescent conjugate (TTY) was thus designed and synthesized as a surrogate of carabrone that possessed comparable antifungal activity against Ggt (EC50 of 33.68 μg/mL). Additionally, a polyclonal antibody specific to carabrone and with a high titer (256 000) was also prepared by immunizing mice. Subsequently, two imaging techniques, the use of the fluorescent conjugate (FC) and immunofluorescence (IF), were applied to determine the subcellular localization of carabrone. Both FC and IF fluorescent signals demonstrated its mitochondrial localization with a Pearson's coefficient of 0.83 for FC and 0.86 for IF. These results imply that carabrone exerts its antifungal activity against Ggt by interfering with mitochondrial function.

Abstract
A microwave-assisted method has been developed for the synthesis of tri-substituted pyrazoles via direct N-heterocyclization of hydrazines with metal-acetylacetonate and -dibenzylideneacetonate without using any base or additives. Most importantly, the synthesis of 1-aryl-5-phenyl-3-styryl-1H-pyrazoles was achieved in a single step using hydrochloride salt of various phenylhydrazines and this is the first report for direct construction of these molecules. The reaction medium and microwave conditions play a critical role for their selective product formation during the reaction. The present reaction explored the usage of metal-diketonic complexes as reaction substrates providing acetylacetone and dibenzylideneacetone moieties to directly participate in cyclization with hydrazines to form the corresponding pyrazoles in excellent yields. The present protocol introduces the important N-heterocyclic moieties in the final structures, giving the reaction great applications from a medicinal chemistry perspective, particularly in the late stage modification strategies in drug discovery. The synthesis of tri-substituted pyrazoles was achieved via direct N-heterocyclization of hydrazines with metal-acetylacetonate and -dibenzylideneacetonate without using any base or additives under microwave irradiation in a single step.![]()

Abstract
In order to discover novel eco-friendly lead compounds for plant pathogenic fungi control, a series of benzaldehyde thiosemicarbazide derivatives with a piperidine moiety have been designed and synthesized. Fungicidal activities of all the synthesized compounds were evaluated in vitro. The results indicated that all the title compounds exhibited moderate to good fungicidal activities. Compound 3b displayed excellent activities against Pythium aphanidermatum, Rhizoctonia solani, Valsa mali, and Gaeu-mannomyces graminsis, with EC50 values lower than 10 μg/mL. Especially, in the case of Pythium aphanidermatum, its activity (EC50 = 1.6 μg/mL) is superior to the commercial azoxystrobin (EC50 = 16.9 μg/mL) and close to fluopicolide (EC50 = 1.0 μg/mL). Initial structure–activity relationship (SAR) analysis showed that the heterocyclic piperidine group can influence the biological activities of the title compounds significantly. The fungicidal activity of compounds with piperidine is better than that of compounds without piperidine. The highly-active compound 3b, with its simple structure and easy synthetic route, is worthy to be further studied as a new lead fungicide.

Abstract
A series of model compounds containing 3-amino-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylic acid residue with N-terminal amide/urethane and C-terminal amide/hydrazide/ester groups were investigated by using NMR, Fourier transform infrared, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods, additionally supported by theoretical calculations. The studies demonstrate that the most preferred is the extended conformation with torsion angles ϕ and ψ close to ±180°. The studied 1H-pyrazole with N-terminal amide/urethane and C-terminal amide/hydrazide groups solely adopts this energetically favored conformation confirming rigidity of that structural motif. However, when the C-terminal ester group is present, the second conformation with torsion angles ϕ and ψ close to ±180° and 0°, respectively, is accessible. The conformational equilibrium is observed in NMR and Fourier transform infrared studies in solution in polar environment as well as in the crystal structures of other related compounds. The observed conformational preferences are clearly related to the presence of intramolecular interactions formed within the studied residue.
