ABSTRACT
Succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors are essential fungicides used in agriculture. To explore new pyrazole-carboxamides with high fungicidal activity, a series of N-substitutedphenyl-3-di/trifluoromethyl-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamides bearing a branched alkyl ether moiety were designed and synthesized. The in vitro bioassay indicated that some target compounds displayed appreciable fungicidal activity. For example, compounds 5d and 5e showed high efficacy against S. sclerotiorum with EC50 values of 3.26 and 1.52 µg/mL respectively, and also exhibited excellent efficacy against R. solani with EC50 values of 0.27 and 0.06 µg/mL respectively, which were comparable or superior to penflufen. The further in vivo bioassay on cucumber leaves demonstrated that 5e provided strong protective activity of 94.3 % against S. sclerotiorum at 100 µg/mL, comparable to penflufen (99.1 %). Cytotoxicity assessment against human renal cell lines (239A cell) revealed that 5e had low cytotoxicity within the median effective concentrations. Docking study of 5e with succinate dehydrogenase illustrated that R-5e formed one hydrogen bond and two π-π stacking interactions with amino acid residues of target enzyme, while S-5e formed only one π-π stacking interaction with amino acid residue. This study provides a valuable reference for the design of new succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor.
