摘要
In recent decades, natural products have been considered important resources for developing of new agrochemicals because of their novel architectures and multibioactivities. Consequently, herein, 1--acetylbritannilactone (ABL), a natural sesquiterpene lactone from L., was used as a lead for further modification to discover fungicidal candidates. Six series of ABL-based derivatives containing an oxadiazole, triazole, or imidazole moiety were designed and synthesized, and their antifungal activities were also evaluated and . Bioassay results revealed that compounds , , and (EC = 61.4, 30.9, and 12.4 μg/mL, respectively) exhibited more pronounced inhibitory activity against than their precursor ABL (EC > 500 μg/mL) and positive control hymexazol (EC = 77.2 μg/mL). Derivatives and (EC = 19.6 and 41.5 μg/mL, respectively) exhibited more potent antifungal activity toward than ABL (EC = 68.3 μg/mL). Compound exhibited excellent and broad-spectrum antifungal activity against seven phytopathogenic fungal mycelia. Particularly, the inhibitory activity of compound against the mycelium of was more than 10.8- and 2.3-fold those of ABL and hymexazol, respectively. Meanwhile, derivative (IC = 47.7 μg/mL) displayed more pronounced inhibitory activity against the spore of than ABL (IC > 500 μg/mL) and difenoconazole (IC = 80.8 μg/mL). Additionally, the control efficacy of compound against was further studied using infected tomatoes (protective effect = 58.4%; therapeutic effect = 48.7%). The preliminary structure-activity relationship analysis suggested that the introduction of the 1,3,4-oxadiazole moiety (especially the 1,3,4-oxadiazole heterocycle containing the 4-chlorophenyl, 2-furyl, or 2-pyridinyl group) on the skeleton of ABL was more likely to produce potential antifungal compounds. These findings pave the way for further design and development of ABL-based derivatives as potential antifungal agents.
