Chalcones are known for their broad biological activities, which can be enhanced by incorporating heterocyclic moieties. Imidazole, recognized for its diverse properties, was introduced into a series of imidazolylchalcone derivatives (3a-3o) synthesized via Claisen-Schmidt condensation of benzaldehydes (2a-2o) and 4-(Imidazol-1-yl) acetophenone (1a) using ultrasonication as a green method. These compounds were characterized by spectroscopic techniques such as 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, LC-HRMS and evaluated for fungicidal and nematicidal activity. Compound 3 h showed highest fungicidal activity against Rhizoctonia solani (ED₅₀ = 0.69 μg/mL), outperforming commercial hexaconazole (ED₅₀ = 3.57 μg/mL). Compound 3d exhibited the highest activity against Fusarium oxysporum (ED₅₀ = 119.22 μg/mL), while 3f was most effective against Meloidogyne incognita (LC₅₀ = 33.62 μg/mL), though less active than commercial Velum Prime (LC₅₀ = 3.46 μg/mL). The compounds potential activity may results from interactions of electronegative atom with enzyme active sites via hydrogen bonding. Docking studies against fungal cutinase and nematode acetylcholinesterase supported the in-vitro findings. Promising compounds will undergo further in-vivo and field trials for antifungal and antinemic applications and developed a potent molecule.
查耳酮以其广泛的生物活性而闻名,通过引入杂环部分可以增强其活性。咪唑因其多样的性质而被人们所熟知,它被引入到一系列咪唑基查耳酮衍生物(3a - 3o)中,这些衍生物是通过苯甲醛(2a - 2o)与4 -(咪唑 - 1 - 基)苯乙酮(1a)的克莱森 - 施密特缩合反应,并以超声处理作为绿色方法合成的。这些化合物通过诸如¹H - NMR、¹³C - NMR、LC - HRMS等光谱技术进行表征,并评估其杀真菌和杀线虫活性。化合物3h对立枯丝核菌表现出最高的杀真菌活性(ED₅₀ = 0.69 μg/mL),优于市售的己唑醇(ED₅₀ = 3.57 μg/mL)。化合物3d对尖孢镰刀菌表现出最高活性(ED₅₀ = 119.22 μg/mL),而3f对南方根结线虫最有效(LC₅₀ = 33.62 μg/mL),尽管其活性低于市售的威百亩(LC₅₀ = 3.46 μg/mL)。这些化合物的潜在活性可能源于电负性原子通过氢键与酶活性位点的相互作用。针对真菌角质酶和线虫乙酰胆碱酯酶的对接研究支持了体外研究结果。有前景的化合物将进一步进行体内和田间试验,用于抗真菌和抗线虫应用,并开发出一种有效的分子。
