Synthesis and Antifungal Activity of Novel 1,2,4‐Triazole Derivatives Containing 1,2,3‐Thiadiazole Moiety

Starting from carbonic acid diethyl ester, a series of 1,2,4‐triazole derivatives containing 1,2,3‐thiadiazole were synthesized. Reactions were performed by microwave irradiation or ultrasonic irradiation as well as by conventional heating. The structure of title compounds was characterized by ¹H‐NMR, MS, and elemental analyses. The fungicidal activities of these compounds were tested in vivo. Most of title compounds exhibited good antifungal activity against Pseudoperonospora cubensis. Some of title compounds displayed moderate antifungal activities against Fusarium oxysporum, Pseudoperonospora cubensis, Sphaerotheca fuligenea, Corynespora cassiicola, and Xanthomonas axonopodis.     

Synthesis and Insecticidal Activities of Novel Phthalic Acid Diamides

In order to discover novel insecticides with the new action mode on ryanodine receptor (RyR), a series of novel phthalic acid diamide derivatives were designed and synthesized. All compounds were characterized by ¹H NMR spectra and HRMS. The preliminary results of biological activity assessment indicated that some title compounds exhibited excellent insecticidal activities against Mythimna separata, Spodoptera exigua, and Plutella xylostella. The title compound 3‐nitro‐N‐cyclopropyl‐N′‐[2‐methyl‐4‐(perfluoropropan‐2‐yl)phenyl]phthalamide ( 4a ) was more efficient against diamondback moths than the control (chlorantraniliprole). The effects of some title compounds on intracellular calcium of neurons from the Spodoptera exigua proved that the title compounds were RyR activators.

Synthesis and biological activity of novel N‐benzoyl‐N‐tert‐butyl‐N′‐(β‐triphenylgermyl)propionylhydrazines

A series of new N‐benzoyl‐N‐tert‐butyl‐N′‐(β‐triphenylgermyl)propionylhydrazines were synthesized by the condensation reaction of β‐triphenylgermyl propanoic acid with N‐benzoyl‐N‐tert‐butylhydrazines in good yields by using N,N′‐dicyclohexylcorbodiimide as dehydrating agent. These title compounds were evaluated for molting hormone mimicking activity. The results of bioassay showed that the compounds exhibit moderate larvicidal activity, and toxicity assays indicated that the title compounds can induce a premature, abnormal and lethal larval molt. We found that the title compounds possess potential anticancer activities in vitro. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Design,Synthesis, Structure‐Activity Relationship and Insecticidal Activities of Trifluoromethyl‐Containing Sulfiliminyl and Sulfoximinyl Phthalic Acid Diamide Structure

Due to a novel mode action, low toxicity to mammals and low residue characteristics, phthalic acid diamides have aroused considerable interests in agricultural chemistry. With introduction of N‐cyano, N‐trifluoroacetyl, N‐carbamoylsulfiliminyl and sulfoximinyl substituents into phthalamides, 12 novel derivatives containing trifluoromethyl moiety were designed and synthesized.

In particular, Va gave higher activity against oriental armyworm and diamondback moth. The present work reported that the new trifluoromethylated diamides incorporating N‐trifluoroacetylsulfoximinyl moieties are potential lead compounds for further structure optimization, providing some insight into the relating structure‐activity relationship.

Effects of annulation on the mass spectral behaviour of monosubstituted bicyclo[4.3.0]-3-nonenes and bicyclo[4.3.0]-3,7-nonadienes

The mass spectra of the title compounds differ considerably depending on the annulation of the bicyclic skeleton. For a series of alkyl derivatives the cis-annulated compounds show a higher abundance of the products due to the retro Diels-Alder cleavage than the corresponding trans isomers. The cis-annulated esters and alcohols lose a molecule of ethanol and water, respectively, more easily than the corresponding trans isomers. Effects of conformation and configuration are discussed.     

Green synthesis,antibacterial, antiviral and molecular docking studies of α-aminophosphonates

Abstract

An efficient method for the synthesis of α-aminophosphonate derivatives has been developed with different functional groups under catalyst and solvent free conditions at room temperature in both conventional and ultrasonication methods. Ultrasonication method offers excellent yields within shorter reaction times. All the title compounds 4a–l were tested for their antibacterial, antiviral activity using Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus subtilis), Gram-negative bacteria (Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli) and NDV infected embryonated eggs (in ovo) and NDV infected BHK-21 cell lines (in vitro) respectively. Besides, molecular docking studies were also carried out to the title compounds against Hemagglutinin-neuramidase enzyme to determine the therapeutic binding efficacy of the ligands synthesized. The results indicated that, among the title compounds, compounds such as 4f, 4l, 4k, 4b, 4i and 4h have shown high content of antibacterial and antiviral activity than the rest of the compounds and the level activity was high when compared to the standard, ribavirin. Based on the results, it is concluded that, the reported α-aminophosphonates will open new vistas and stands as a new generation of antiviral and antibacterial drug candidates in future.
