Biological activity evaluation and action mechanism of chalcone derivatives containing thiophene sulfonate

Abstract

A series of novel chalcone derivatives containing a thiophene sulfonate group were designed and synthesized. The structures of all title compounds were determined by 1 H-NMR, 13 C-NMR and HRMS.Antibacterial bioassays indicated that, compound 2l demonstrated excellent antibacterial activities against Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri (Xac), with an EC 50 value of 11.4 mg mL À1 , which is significantly superior to those of bismerthiazol (BT) (51.6 mg mL À1 ) and thiodiazole-copper (TC) (94.7 mg mL À1 ).Meanwhile, the mechanism of action of compound 2l was confirmed by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In addition, compound 2e showed remarkable inactivation activity against Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), with an EC 50 value of 44.3 mg mL À1 , which was superior to that of ningnanmycin (120.6 mg mL À1 ). Microscale thermophoresis (MST) also showed that the binding of compounds 2e and 2h to Tobacco mosaic virus coat protein (TMV-CP) yielded K d values of 0.270 and 0.301 mmol L À1 , which are better than that of ningnanmycin (0.596 mmol L À1 ). At the same time, molecular docking studies for 2e and 2h with TMV-CP (PDB code: 1EI7) showed that the compound was embedded well in the pocket between the two subunits of TMV-CP in each case. These results suggested that chalcone derivatives containing a thiophene sulfonate group may be considered as activators in the design of antibacterial and antiviral agents.Scheme 1 Synthetic route of title compounds 2a-2v.This journal is

Design, synthesis, and antibacterial activity of novel myricetin derivatives containing sulfonate

“…Sulfonate derivatives, owing to physicochemical properties, have a strong affinity for lipid phases and can cross the cuticle membrane easily to bind to target sites [23], and compounds containing aryl sulfonate moieties have received considerable attention due to extensive biological activities, and it has been proven to possess antiviral [24,25], antibacterial [26][27][28], insecticidal [29,30], anticancer [31,32], and other biological activity [33]. They were widely used in agricultural industries, medicine researches and other fields.…”

Design, Synthesis and Antibacterial Activity of Novel Pyrimidine‐Containing 4H‐Chromen‐4‐One Derivatives**

“…It was very serious and hard to manage effectively in agricultural production. Therefore, to protect crops from bacterial infection, the agrochemical (bismerthiazol, thiodiazole-copper and azoxy strobin) were used to prevent bacterial infection [4,5], but prolonged and abuse of traditional chemical pesticides not only enhances the resistance of the bacterial but also harmful to the environment and human health [6][7][8]. So, exploring novel highly-e cient, broad-spectrum and environmentally benign antibacterial agents is still an arduous task in pesticide science.…”

Synthesis, Biological Activity and Action Mechanism Study of Novel Chalcone Derivatives Containing Malonate

“…Hence, the development of novel antiviral molecules against tobacco mosaic virus has attracted an increasing amount of attention. To overcome these serious problems, antibacterial drugs such as bismerthiazol, thiodiazole copper, and ningnanmycin have been widely developed and used to reduce the infection of bacteria and plant viruses . However, the long‐term non‐standard use of traditional anti‐phytopathogenic drugs has led to increased resistance to plant pathogenic genes, which not only enhanced the resistance of target pathogens, but also caused serious damage to plant growth systems .…”
