Allicin‐inspired disulfide derivatives containing quinazolin‐4(3H)‐one as a bacteriostat against Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae

Abstract

BACKGROUND Plant bacterial diseases have seriously affected the yield and quality of crops, among which rice bacterial leaf blight (BLB), caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae has seriously affected the yield of rice. As plant‐pathogenic bacteria gradually become resistant to existing bactericides, it is necessary to find effective bactericides with novel structures. RESULTS Herein, a series of compounds containing quinazolin‐4(3H)‐one and disulfide moieties were designed and synthesized using a facile synthetic method. The bioassay results revealed that most target compounds possessed noticeable antibacterial activity against Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae. Particularly, compound 2‐(butyldisulfanyl) quinazolin‐4(3H)‐one (1) exhibited remarkable antibacterial activity with the half effective concentration (EC50) of 0.52 μg mL−1. Additionally, compound 1 was confirmed to inhibit the growth of the bacteria, change the bacterial morphology, and increase the level of reactive oxygen species. Proteomics, and RT‐qPCR analysis results indicated that compound 1 could downregulate the expression of Pil‐Chp histidine kinase chpA encoded by the pilL gene, and the potting experiments proved that compound 1 exhibits significant protective activity against BLB. CONCLUSIONS Compound 1 may weaken the pathogenicity of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae by inhibiting the bacterial growth and blocking the pili‐mediated twitching motility without inducing the bacterial apoptosis. This study indicates that such derivatives could be a promising scaffold to develop a bacteriostat to control BLB. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Design, Synthesis, and Mechanism of Novel 9-Aliphatic Amine Tryptanthrin Derivatives against Phytopathogenic Bacteria

“…According to the previously reported method in our literature, – 7c was incubated under stable conditions of 28 °C and 180 rpm until the negative control group reached the logarithmic stage. The concentration of the proteomics preparation was determined based on the optimal half-value optical density (OD).…”

Design, synthesis, antibacterial evaluation of isopropylamine linked with different substituted phenol and piperazine novel derivatives

“…The apoptotic effect triggered by W2 was evaluated by flow cytometry (BD FACSCalibur) according to our previous work with some slight modifications. 16,21 Different concentrations of W2 were added to the test tubes containing Xoo bacterial solution and incubated for 13 h. Then 100 μL bacterial solution was taken and the cells were stained with annexin V-FITC (5 μL) (ANNEXIN V-FITC/PI Apoptosis Detection Kit; Solarbio, Beijing, China) for 10 min under dark and RT conditions, followed by PI (10 μL) stained for 5 min. The sample data were analyzed using FLOW JO software.…”

“…Biofilm formation was investigated using crystal violet staining according to a previous method 21,26 with some modifications. Briefly, 10 μL Xoo (OD 595 = 0.6) and 90 μL NB culture medium were added to a 96-well plate, and corresponding concentrations of compound W2 were added.…”

“…After completion, the samples were assayed by LC-MS. 34,35 2.5.9 RNA extraction and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) This experiment was conducted based on our previous method with some modifications. 21 In essence, Xoo was exposed to a concentration 1.5-fold greater than the EC 50 of compound W2. When the OD value of the blank control group reached 0.6-0.8, total RNA was extracted according to the instructions of the Bacteria Total RNA Isolation kit (Sangon Biotech, Shanghai, China).…”
