All of the compounds have been screened for their antiproliferative activities against PC‐3 cell (human prostate cancer) and A431 cell (human epidermoid carcinoma cancer) lines in vitro. The results revealed that compounds 4g , 4j and 4k exhibited the strong inhibitory activities against the PC‐3 cell lines (with IC₅₀ values of 2.8±0.11, 3.1±0.10 and 3.0±0.06 μg/mL, respectively).

Design,Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Novel N‐(4‐([2,2′:5′,2′′‐Terthiophen]‐5‐yl)‐2‐methylbut‐3‐yn‐2‐yl) Benzamide Derivatives

On the basis of the principle of combination of active groups, a series of novel N‐(4‐([2,2′:5′,2′′‐terthiophen]‐5‐yl)‐2‐methylbut‐3‐yn‐2‐yl) benzamide derivatives were designed, synthesized and systematically evaluated for their antiviral activity against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). The bioassay results showed that most of these compounds displayed good anti‐TMV activity, and some of them exhibited higher antiviral activity than commercial Ningnanmycin. Especially, compound 8e with excellent anti‐TMV activity (inactivation activity, 92.3%/500 µg·mL^?1; curative activity, 85.7%/500 µg·mL^?1 and protection activity, 64.7%/500 µg·mL^?1) emerged as a potential inhibitor of plant virus TMV. Quantitative structure‐activity relationship studies proved that the van der Waals volume (V) and electronic parameter (∑(∑σ_o+σ_p) and ∑σ_m) for the substituent R¹ were very important for antiviral activities in this class of compounds.     

Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Biological Activities of O, O-Dialkyl α-[1-（2-Chlorothiazol-5-ylmethyl）-5-methyl- 1 H-1,2,3-triazol-4-ylcarbonyloxy]alkylphosphonates

In order to search for novel agrochemicals with high activity and low toxicity, a series of phosphonate derivatives containing 1,2,3-triazole and thiazole rings were designed and synthesized using 2-chloro-5-（chloromethyl）- thiazole as the starting material. Their structures were confirmed by IR, ^1H NMR, ^31p NMR, EI-MS or ESI-MS and elemental analyses. The crystal structure of 7a was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Preliminary bioassays indicated that most of the target compounds did not display insecticidal activities, but a fraction of them possessed herbicidal and fungicidal activities to some extent.

To find novel bleaching herbicide lead compounds, a series of novel 2‐alkyl(aryl)‐4‐amino‐3‐[alkyl(alkoxy)carbonyl]‐5‐cyano‐6‐[(3‐trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]‐pyridines was designed and synthesized by the multistep reactions. N,S‐acetal 1 reacted with 2 to obtain multisubstituted pyridines 3 in the presence of zinc nitrate as the catalyst. The target compounds 5a , 5b , 5c , 5d , 5e , 5f , 5g , 5h , 5i , 5j , 5k , 5l were formed by the oxidation of 3 , followed by the substitution with 3‐(trifluoromethyl)phenol in the presence of potassium carbonate. Their structures were confirmed by IR, ¹H NMR, EI‐MS, and elemental analyses. The preliminary bioassays indicated that some of them displayed moderate herbicidal activity against dicotyledonous weed Brassica campestris L at the concentration of 100 mg/L.
