A series of novel isoindoline-1-one derivatives containing
piperidine
moiety were designed and synthesized using natural compounds as raw
materials, and their biological activities were tested for three bacterial
and three fungal pathogens. These derivatives exhibited good against
phytopathogenic bacteria activities against Pseudomonas
syringae pv actinidiae (Psa) and Xanthomonas axonopodis pv.citri (Xac). Some compounds exhibited
excellent antibacterial activities against Xanthomonas
oryzae pv oryzae (Xoo). The dose of Y8 against Xoo (the
maximum half lethal effective concentration (EC50) = 21.3
μg/mL) was better than that of the thiediazole copper dose (EC50 = 53.3 μg/mL). Excitingly, further studies have shown
that the molecular docking of Y8 with 2FBW indicates
that it can fully locate the interior of the binding pocket through
hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions, thereby enhancing its
anti-Xoo activity. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM)
studies revealed that Y8 induced the Xoo cell membrane collapse. Moreover, the proteomic results also indicate
that Y8 may be a multifunctional candidate as it affects
the formation of bacterial Xoo biofilms, thereby
exerting antibacterial effects.
