Synthesis and structure–activity relationships for anticipated molluscicidal activity of some 2-amino-5-substituted pyridine derivatives

A series of 2-amino-5-substituted pyridine derivatives was synthesized and their molluscicidal activity against white garden, Theba pisana (Müller), and brown garden, Helix aspersa (Müller), snails was investigated by two methods of application. Some of these compounds showed strong activity under laboratory conditions against the two types of snail. T pisana was more sensitive to the tested compounds than H aspersa. The most effective compounds were 2-amino-5-(benzotriazole-1-ylmethyl)-3-methylpyridine, 2-amino-5-[1-(benzotriazole-1-yl)nonyl]-3-methylpyridine and 2-[(1,2,4-triazole-1-ylmethyl)amino]-3-methylpyridine which exhibited high molluscicidal activity. The toxicity results are discussed in relation to the chemical structures. © 1999 Society of Chemical Industry

为了进一步研究环烷基磺酰胺类化合物的杀菌活性与构效关系,在前期工作基础上,对先导化合物进一步展开研究,合成了15个未见文献报道的2-吡啶酰氨基环己烷基磺酰胺类化合物。首先以2-氧代环己烷基磺酰胺为原料,经过还原胺化后得到2-氨基环己烷基磺酰胺;再与取代吡啶甲酰氯反应,得到目标化合物。分别通过菌丝生长速率法与黄瓜活体叶片法测定了目标化合物对番茄灰霉病菌Botrytis cinerea及其他5种植物病原菌的杀菌活性。结果表明:目标化合物对番茄灰霉病菌表现出较好的抑制活性,其中化合物V-8在离体条件下对番茄灰霉病菌的EC50值为1.41 mg/L,在500 mg/L下的活体防效为79.17%;此外,部分目标化合物在50 mg/L下,对水稻纹枯病菌、水稻稻瘟病菌、大豆根腐病菌、黄瓜绵腐病菌和辣椒疫霉的抑制率高于60%,其中,化合物V-7对黄瓜绵腐病菌的EC50值为2.7 mg/L,其活性高于对照药剂多菌灵（EC50值为4.4 mg/L）,有进一步研究的价值。     

Dimethoxypyrimidines as Novel Herbicides. Part 2. Synthesis and Herbicidal Activity of O-Pyrimidinylsalicylates and Analogues

A new series of the O-pyrimidinylsalicylates was synthesized and their herbicidal activity was examined. Some of these compounds showed very strong herbicidal activity under pre- and post-emergent treatment conditions against various kinds of grass and broadleaf weeds. Among these compounds, O-(4, 6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl) salicylic acid and its methyl ester were found to exhibit the highest activity. The herbicidal symptoms observed after the treatments included early cessation of plant growth followed by chlorosis, necrosis and plant death. The symptoms were similar to those caused by sulfonylureas and imidazolinones, which inhibit branched-chain amino acid biosynthesis.     

Activity of the botanical aphicides 1,5‐diphenyl‐1‐pentanone and 1,5‐diphenyl‐2‐penten‐1‐one on two species of Aphididnae

1,5‐Diphenyl‐1‐pentanone (A) and 1,5‐diphenyl‐2‐penten‐1‐one (B) are natural products extracted for the first time from Stellera chamaejasme. Laboratory bioassay showed that the two products have strong contact activity and very good anti‐feedant activity against Aphis gossypii and Schizaphis graminum. Both products showed dose‐dependent relationships for both forms of activity against the two aphids, the contact activity of B being about twice that of A. Both products were inferior to methomyl in contact activity but superior in anti‐feedant activity against the two aphids. This is the first report of aphicidal activity in these two compounds, which may represent a new class of aphicide. © 2001 Society of Chemical Industry

Fungicidal activity of 2-(1-alkenyl)-3-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinones and related compounds

The fungicidal activity of a series of 2-(1-alkenyl)-3-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinones and their acetates has been assessed against various fungi in vitro and against others, notably powdery mildews, in vivo, and the activity compared with that of analogous compounds bearing saturated side chains. Several of the compounds demonstrated a broad spectrum of activity in vitro. Whereas the presence of α-unsaturation in the side chain is essential for the in-vitro activity against the non-obligate fungi tested, it is of virtually no importance for the curative effect against Erysiphe graminis on barley. Only the corresponding acetates had activity against the latter pathogen.     

Synthesis of 2-amino-6-oxocyclohexenylsulfonamides and their activity against Botrytis cinerea

BACKGROUND: With the objective of exploring the fungicidal activity of 2‐oxocyclohexylsulfonamides (2), a series of novel 2‐amino‐6‐oxocyclohexenylsulfonamides (6 to 23) were synthesised, and their fungicidal activities against Botrytis cinerea Pers. were evaluated in vitro and in vivo. RESULTS: The compounds were characterised by IR, ¹H NMR and elemental analysis. Bioassay results of mycelial growth showed that compounds 6 to 23 had a moderate antifungal activity against B. cinerea. N‐(2‐methylphenyl)‐2‐(2‐methylphenylamino)‐4,4‐dimethyl‐6‐oxocyclohexenylsulfonamide (13) and N‐(2‐chlorophenyl)‐2‐(2‐chlorophenylamino)‐6‐oxocyclohexenylsulfonamide (21) showed best antifungal activities, with EC₅₀ values of 8.05 and 10.56 µg mL^?1 respectively. Commercial fungicide procymidone provided an EC₅₀ value of 0.63 µg mL^?1. The conidial germination assay showed that most of compounds 6 to 23 possessed excellent inhibition of spore germination and germ‐tube elongation of conidia of B. cinerea. For in vivo control of B. cinerea colonising cucumber leaves, the compound N‐cyclohexyl‐2‐(cyclohexylamino)‐4,4‐dimethyl‐6‐oxocyclohexenylsulfonamide (19) showed a better control effect than the commercial fungicide procymidone. CONCLUSION: The present work demonstrated that 2‐amino‐6‐oxocyclohexenylsulfonamides can be used as possible new lead compounds for further developing novel fungicides against B. cinerea.

Synthesis and Anthelmintic Activity of 7-Hydroxy- 5-oxo-5H-thieno[3,2-b]pyran-6-carboxanilides and -6-thiocarboxanilides

7-Hydroxy-5-oxo-5H-thieno[3,2-b]pyran-6-carboxanilides and -6-thio-carboxanilides represent a novel series of anthelmintic compounds, with broad-spectrum activity against important parasitic nematodes in sheep and dogs. In particular, an improved efficacy against Trichostrongylus colubriformis in sheep over the related 3-carbamoyl-4-hydroxycoumarins has been noted. New synthetic routes to the key intermediate, 7-hydroxythieno[3,2-b]pyran-5-one, have been developed.     

含5-苯基2-呋喃环的3(2H)哒嗪酮类衍生物的合成与生物活性(Ⅱ)(英文)

为探索新的农药先导化合物,经取代苯基呋喃甲酰氯与5-羟基-3(2H)哒嗪酮反应,得到15个未见文献报道的含呋喃环3(2H)哒嗪酮类化合物,其结构均通过了红外光谱、核磁共振氢谱和元素分析确认。初步生物活性测定结果表明,目标化合物表现出良好的杀菌活性,其中化合物3i在50 mg/L时对灰霉病菌和纹枯病菌的抑制率分别为89.16%±1.73%和81.27%±1.38%,与对照药剂腐霉利(88.58%±1.64%和79.62%±1.15%)相当。初步的构效关系结果显示,苯环上取代基的种类和位置对杀菌活性有重要影响。     

Antimicrobial activity of some N-(arylalkyl)maleimides

A series of N-(arylalkyl)maleimides was prepared for the reaction of maleic anhydride and N-(arylalkyl) amines, and their antimicrobial activities were examined. All compounds exhibited antibacterial activity against gram-positive bacteria such as Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus. Almost all compounds exhibited antibacterial activity against the gram-negative bacterium, Escherichia coli, but were inactive against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Activities against gram-positive bacteria were independent of the nature of the substituent on the benzene ring or the length of alkyl group, but that against gram-negative bacteria was influenced by these parameters. All N-(arylalkyl)maleimides showed activity against yeasts and mycelial fungi.     

含酰腙结构的新型吡唑酰胺衍生物对小菜蛾的生物活性

采用浸虫法、夹毒叶片法和叶碟法分别测定了13个含酰腙结构的新型吡唑酰胺衍生物对小菜蛾3龄幼虫的触杀、胃毒和拒食活性。结果表明:该类化合物对小菜蛾3龄幼虫具有较高的胃毒和拒食活性,其中苯环上含有氯原子、且酰腙一端的取代基含有杂原子且体积较小的化合物 H7的胃毒和拒食活性最好,明显高于对照药剂毒死蜱。H7 72 h胃毒作用LC50值为0.6 mg/L(毒死蜱的LC50值为7.4 mg/L);有10个化合物的拒食活性高于毒死蜱,其中 H7 48 h的拒食中浓度(AFC50) 最低,为0.6 mg/L,明显低于毒死蜱(AFC50=6.5 mg/L)。供试化合物对小菜蛾3龄幼虫均无触杀活性。     

The antifungal activity of some sulphonyl derivatives of isoxazole,pyrazole, thiazole and thiophene

Fifty-three heterocyclic sulphonyl derivatives including eight sulphonamides, three sulphonyl azides, nine sulphonohydrazides and twenty sulphonohydrazones of substituted thiophenes, and a smaller range of analogous isoxazoles pryazoles and thiazoles, were tested as potential fungicides in a simple screening procedure against Mucor mucedo, Septoria nodorum, Trichoderma viride, Chaetomium globosum and Aspergillus niger. Several thiophene-2-sulphonyl based compounds exhibited a high level of antifungal activity at 100 mg litre^?1 against the five test species, especially the mono-halogen-substituted sulphonamides and sulphonohydrazines, in which a single chlorine or bromine atom was substituted in the para position of an attached phenyl ring. The most active compound, against all five species of fungus was N-(4-chlorophenyl)-N-(trichloromethylthio) thiophene-2-sulphonamide which had average MIC₅₀ and MIC₁₀₀ values of 86 and 180 μmol respectively. (MIC₅₀ and MIC₁₀₀ values are, respectively, the concentrations required to inhibit fungal growth by 50% and to inhibit it totally.) In general, the isoxazole analogues of the thiophene-2-sulphonyl compounds exhibited a much lower fungitoxic activity, whilst the pyrazole and thiazole based compounds had little or no activity. Compared with the other results, the considerable activity shown by 4-[2′-(3,4-dichlorobenzylidene)hydrazinosulphonyl]thiophene-2-carboxylic acid was unexpected.     

Synthesis of D-glucosamine quaternary ammonium derivatives and evaluation of their antifungal activity together with aminodeoxyglucose derivatives against two wood fungi Coriolus versicolor and Poria placenta: structure-activity relationships

BACKGROUND: Structure–activity relationships are often reported in scientific studies. These may be employed in searching for new acceptable biocides to use against harmful microorganisms, because the biocides used hitherto encounter various problems, including lack of efficiency, high toxicity and persistence. Nowadays, scientists are trying to find new, environmentally acceptable biocides to replace these earlier biocides. Different compounds from renewable materials have been studied and have shown pronounced antifungal activity against wood fungi. These include aminopolysaccharide derivatives and different quaternary ammonium polymers. A biological study carried out with these products indicated a possible relationship between amino groups and differences in biological activity observed. RESULTS: In this study, an amino group was successively fixed to different carbon atoms of glucose, and glucosamine was also modified by both N‐alkylation and quaternisation. The impact of the amino group position on antifungal activity against two wood decay fungi was investigated. The amino group at the anomeric position showed the highest antifungal activity against both Coriolus versicolor Quel. and Poria placenta (Fr.) Cooke. Furthermore, the positive impact of both N‐alkylation and quaternisation on the growth of both strains was demonstrated. CONCLUSION: The anomeric position of the amino group and the N‐alkylation and quaternisation of amino sugars considerably increase the antifungal activity of these compounds.

Fungicidal activity of substituted quinoxalines

Twenty substituted quinoxalines based on the structure of 6 (or 7)-methyl-3-phenyl-1, 2-dihydroquinoxalin-2-one, a fungicidally active photodegradation product of quinomethionate, were synthesised. Eleven of these compounds had ED₅₀ values, as protectant sprays against Podosphaera leucotricha, of 0.1 mmol or less; these compounds had an aromatic substituent at the 3-position of the quinoxaline ring. They were less active as protectant leaf dips against Erysiphe graminis f. sp. hordei than against Podosphaera leucotricha; none showed any systemic activity as a soil-applied treatment against Podosphaera leucotricha. One compound was more active than quinomethionate as an eradicant spray. In spore germination tests on fungi from different taxonomic groups, the quinoxaline derivatives were active against only one basidiomycete (Uromyces fabae), whereas quinomethionate showed a broad spectrum of activity. The possible significance of this difference in spectrum of activity with respect to the mode of action is discussed.

A new class of compounds derived from hydroquinone ethers showed high and predominantly ovicidal activity against the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch. The sequence of compounds synthesised and the factors which appeared to have contributed most to the discovery of these promising acaricides are presented.     

10种N-取代氨基香豆素的合成及生物活性

基于结构拼接思想,设计合成了10个N-取代氨基香豆素类化合物,并测定了其抑菌及除草活性。6-硝基香豆素经Fe/NH4Cl还原得6-氨基香豆素,再与不同醛缩合得Schiff碱,最后经硼氢化钠还原制得10个N-取代氨基香豆素类化合物(4a~4J),其中9个未见文献报道,其结构均经红外光谱、核磁共振氢谱和质谱确认。抑菌活性测试结果表明,所有化合物对苹果腐烂病菌Valsa mali、葡萄白腐病菌Coniothyrium diplodiella、棉花枯萎病菌Fusarium oxysporium和柑橘炭疽病菌Citrusanthrax bacteria均有一定抑制作用,其中 4e 的抑菌活性最强,对苹果腐烂病菌和柑橘炭疽病菌的EC50值分别为7.53和12.93 mg/L,对其余2种植物病原菌的EC50值均小于25 mg/L;化合物 4f 次之,对苹果腐烂病菌和葡萄白腐病菌的EC50值均约为11 mg/L。除草活性测试结果表明,除 4f 外,所有目标化合物均有一定除草作用,其中 4c 的活性最强,100 mg/L下对反枝苋Amaranthus retroflexus种子根、茎生长的抑制率均为99%。     

Quantitative structure–activity studies of insect growth regulators: XVI. Substituent effects of dibenzoylhydrazines on the insecticidal activity to Colorado potato beetle Leptinotarsa decemlineata

Insecticidal activity against the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata, was measured for a series of substituted N-tert-butyl-dibenzoylhydrazines, in which one of the benzoyl moieties closer to the tert-butyl group was fixed as being 2-chloro-substitued and the other variously substituted singly or doubly. The effects of substituents on the activity were quantitatively analysed using the classical quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) procedure. The activity against the Colorado potato beetle increases with the molecular hydrophobicity. In addition, various types of steric effect are at work, depending upon the positions. Hydrogen-bonding acceptor substituents at the para position enhance the activity. There seem to be threshold (or optimum) values, albeit position-dependent, in the molecular hydrophobicity, above which the activity starts to decrease. This biphasic contribution of the molecular hydrophobicity to activity against coleopterous larvae is the most conspicuous difference in substituent effects from those found for similar compounds against lepidopterous pest insects, and may be the basis of the variations in the activity spectrum for certain compounds in this series. The introduction of bulkier substituents into the meta- and para-positions of the benzene ring, apart from the tert-butyl group, is unfavorable to activity. LD₅₀ values against Colorado potato beetle larvae of methoxyfenozide (RH-2485) and tebufenozide (RH-5992) were in the order of 10⁻⁷ mol per insect, whereas those of RH-5849, and halofenozide (RH-0345) were very low, 10⁻⁹–10⁻¹⁰ mol per insect being selective to the coleopterous larvae. © 1999 Society of Chemical Industry     

Synthesis,fungicidal activity and structure-activity relationships of a series of 1-(3-pyridyl)-1-substituted-but-3-yn-1-ols

A series of 1-(3-pyridyl)-1-substituted-but-3-yn-1-ols and some related compounds were synthesised and tested for antifungal activity against eight phytopathogenic fungi of different taxonomic classes. High activity was shown in particular against Sphaerotheca fuliginea on Cucumis sativus. The compounds containing aromatic substituents gave the best results, not only in protectant but also in systemic and eradicant tests. The quantitative structure-activity relationship suggests that steric effects play an important role in determining fungicidal activity.
