Abstract
The design of bioisosteres represents a creative and productive approach to improve a molecule, including by enhancing potency, addressing pharmacokinetic challenges, reducing off-target liabilities, and productively modulating physicochemical properties. Bioisosterism is a principle exploited in the design of bioactive compounds of interest to both medicinal and agricultural chemists, and in this review, we provide a synopsis of applications where this kind of molecular editing has proved to be advantageous in molecule optimization. The examples selected for discussion focus on bioisosteres of carboxylic acids, applications of fluorine and fluorinated motifs in compound design, some applications of the sulfoximine functionality, the design of bioisosteres of drug-H2O complexes, and the design of bioisosteres of the phenyl ring.

Abstract
Succinate dehydrogenase (SDH, EC 1.3.5.1, also known as complex II) has been recognized as one of the most promising targets of fungicides. Here, based on the binding mode of pydiflumetofen with SDH, the carbon-carbon double bond was introduced into the chemical of pydiflumetofen and then produced the target compounds 6a-6o. The enzymatic inhibitory activity and structure-activity relationship (SAR) study showed that the 2-position and 4-position in terminal benzene were positive to increasing activity. Furthermore, fungicidal activity results in greenhouses indicated that compound 6o showed good control effects against wheat powdery mildew (WPM), cucumber powdery mildew (CPM), and southern corn rust (SCR), showing its broad-spectrum property. Especially, compound 6o exhibited 95 and 75% control effects against CPM and SCR at 6.25 mg/L, respectively, which are better than pydiflumetofen (80% control effects against CPM and 15% against SCR), indicating its potency that is worthy of further development.

Abstract
In the present study, twenty-two derivatives of dihydropyridine (DHP) have been synthesized using the Boric acid catalyst in solventless conditions. The synthesis was confirmed by FTIR analysis, 1HNMR, and 13CNMR analysis. The quantitative structure-activity relationship for all the synthesized derivatives was performed using an artificial neural network with correlation coefficient (R2) 0.8611, mean standard error 0.19, and Comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) with correlation coefficient (R2) 0.713, mean standard error 0.27. The molecular docking activity of synthesized compounds was tested using "AUTODOCK VINA" against "Acetohydroxyacid synthase protein receptors (PDB code 1YHZ)" acquired from the "RCSB Protein Data Bank". Docking experiments demonstrated favorable interaction among synthesized DHP derivatives and protein receptors with significant binding energy values. These synthesized derivatives have been screened for their pre-emergence herbicidal bioassay against weed species Echinochola crus galli, and the IC50 value were calculated and activity was compared with Butachlor, significant activity was exhibited by all the derivatives. All the synthesized compounds were also screened for their post emergence herbicidal activity against Echinochola crus galli, and the activity of DHPs were compared with penoxulum. All the synthesized compounds show good to moderate activity. Thus, it is concluded that substituted DHP derivatives may be developed as potential herbicides.

Abstract
Up to now, a total of 24 succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHIs) fungicides have been commercialized, and SDHIs fungicides were also one of the most active fungicides developed in recent years. Carboxamide derivatives represented an important class of SDHIs with broad spectrum of antifungal activities. In this review, the development of carboxamide derivatives as SDHIs with great significances were summarized. In addition, the structure-activity relationships (SARs) of antifungal activities of carboxamide derivatives as SDHIs was also summarized based on the analysis of the structures of the commercial SDHIs and lead compounds. Moreover, the cause of resistance of SDHIs and some solutions were also introduced. Finally, the development trend of SDHIs fungicides was prospected. We hope this review will give a guide for the development of novel SDHIs fungicides in the future.

Molecules 2021; 26:6815. [PMID: 34833907 PMCID: PMC8620067 DOI: 10.3390/molecules26226815] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2021] [Revised: 11/03/2021] [Accepted: 11/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Botrytis cinerea is a ubiquitous fungus that affects hundreds of plants, resulting in economic losses to the horticulture and fruit industry. The search for new antifungal agents is a matter of current interest. Thus, in this work a series of geranylated phenols in which the side alkyl chain has been hydrated have been synthesized, and their activity against B. cinerea has been evaluated. The coupling of phenol and geraniol has been accomplished under microwave irradiation obtaining the highest reaction yields in the shortest reaction times. Hydration of the side chain was carried out in dioxane with p-toluenesulfonic acid polymer-bound as the catalyst. All synthesized compounds were tested against B. cinerea using the growth inhibition assay and EC50 values were determined. The results show that activity depends on the number and nature of functional groups in the phenol ring and hydration degree of the geranyl chain. The most active compound is 1,4-dihydroquinone with one hydroxyl group attached at the end of the alkyl chain. Results from a molecular docking study suggest that hydroxyl groups in the phenol ring and alkyl chain are important in the binding of compounds to the active site, and that the experimental antifungal activity correlates with the number of H-bond that can be formed in the binding site.

Abstract
Due to unavailability of a specific drug/vaccine to attenuate severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, the current strategy to combat the infection has been largely dependent upon the use of anti-inflammatory drugs to control cytokines storm responsible for respiratory depression. Thus, in this study, we discovered novel pyrazole analogs as a potent nuclear factor kappa B (NF-ĸB) inhibitor. The compounds were assessed for NF-ĸB transcriptional inhibitory activity in RAW264.7 cells after stimulation with lipopolysaccharides (LPS), revealing Compound 6c as the most potent analog among the tested series. The effect of Compound 6c was further investigated on the levels of interleukin-1β, tumor necrosis factor-α, and interleukin-6 in LPS-stimulated RAW267.4 cells by enzyme immunoassay, where it causes a significant reduction in the level of these cytokines. In Western blot analysis, Compound 6c also causes the inhibition of inhibitor kappa B-α and NF-κB. It was found to be snugly fitted into the inner grove of the active site of NF-ĸB by forming H-bonds and a nonbonded interaction with Asn28 in a docking analysis.
