Synthesis and biological characterization of formononetin derivatives against phytopathogenic oomycete and bacteria: preliminary mechanisms, theoretical predictions, and biosafety evaluation.

BACKGROUND The increasing prevalence of phytopathogenic oomycetes and bacteria, particularly Phytophthora capsici (Pc) and Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), poses severe threats to global agricultural production. Developing novel antimicrobial agents with dual antimicrobial activities, multiple mechanisms of action,...

Design, synthesis, and evaluation of antifungal and antibacterial activities of novel quinazolinone-formononetin derivatives.

BACKGROUND Plant pathogenic fungi and bacteria cause substantial losses in agricultural production worldwide, and escalating resistance to conventional agrochemicals necessitates the development of novel, environmentally benign pesticides. Formononetin, a naturally occurring isoflavone, exhibits promising bioactivities...

Acylpiperidine Formononetin Derivatives as Antimicrobial Lead Compounds: Activity and Preliminary Mode-of-Action Studies

Global agricultural production relies heavily on chemical pesticides, leading to resistance, residues, and pollution, threatening sustainable agriculture. There is an urgent need to develop novel antimicrobial agents from low-toxicity, easily degradable natural products. Using formononetin as a lead compound, acylpip...

Synthesis, antibacterial evaluation, and mechanism study of piperazine-bearing oxime ether derivatives.

BACKGROUND The persistent proliferation of bacterial phytopathogens presents a significant threat to global food security and agricultural sustainability. Among these pathogens, species belonging to the genus Xanthomonas are particularly destructive. Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), the causal agent of bacterial le...

Design, Synthesis, and Antifungal Activity of Thiazolidinedione Derivatives Incorporating Thioamide and Piperidine Moieties.

A series of thiazolidinedione derivatives containing thioamide and piperidine moieties were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for antifungal activity against plant pathogenic fungi. Several compounds exhibited potent antifungal activity, among which Z17 was the most active against Rhizoctonia solani (EC50 = 1.8 μg/m...

Synthesis and antifungal activity evaluation of flavonol derivatives containing an imidazolidinone moiety.

Findings indicate that H7 could serve as a lead compound for the development of novel fungicides against kiwifruit soft rot and preliminary mechanistic investigations suggested that the antifungal activity of H7 is associated with disruption of cell membrane integrity and inhibition of succinate dehydrogenase activity.
