Synthesis,antibacterial, and antiviral activities of novel penta-1,4-dien-3-one derivatives containing a benzotriazin-4(3H)-one moiety

A series of penta-1,4-dien-3-one containing a benzotriazin-4(3H)-one moiety were prepared and evaluated for their antibacterial and antiviral activities. Bioassays indicated that some compounds exhibited good antibacterial and antiviral activities. Among them, the EC₅₀ values of compound 6d against Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri and compound 6l against Ralstonia solanacearum were, respectively, 22.45 and 34.77 μg/mL, which were better than that of thiodiazole copper (51.35 and 87.26 μg/mL, respectively). Meanwhile, some title compounds were found to show remarkable antiviral activities against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). These results indicated that penta-1,4-dien-3-one derivatives containing benzotriazin-4(3H)-one moiety could play significant roles in searching for novel agrochemicals.
