The prevention and control of plant diseases and insect pests is the most crucial issue facing crop protection. To discover novel pesticide candidates with diverse chemical structures from natural products, a series of luotonin A analogues were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their antifungal and insecticidal activities. Most of these compounds exhibited potent activity against Botrytis cinerea, Magnaporthe oryzae and Aphis craccivora. Among them, the antifungal activity of compound 10s against B. cinerea was comparable to azoxystrobin (EC50 = 0.09 mM) and against M. oryzae (EC50 = 0.19 mM) was slightly weaker than that of azoxystrobin (EC50 = 0.17 mM). Compounds 10k and 10o are the most active compounds against A. craccivora having identical mortality value of 42.05% at 50 μg/mL, respectively, which were slightly lower than pymetrozine (51.14%) at the same concentration. Revealed morphological changes of the fungal cell surface by scanning electron microscopy indicated that luotonin A analogues might exert their antifungal activity by destroying fungal cell membrane and cell wall. Furthermore, the results of the in vivo protective and curative activities of the compound 10s against S. sclerotiorum and B. cinerea showed that the curative effect was stronger than its protective effect and the curative effects reached 67.17% and 73.82% at 80 μg/mL respectively. The above results further demonstrated the potential of luotonin A analogues as novel fungicides and insecticides.

Plant diseases caused by viruses and fungi have posed a serious threat to global agricultural production. The discovery of new leads based on natural products is an important way to innovate pesticides. In this work, natural product luotonin A was found to have good antiviral activity against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) for the first time. A series of luotonin A derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their antiviral activities and fungicidal activities systematically. Most compounds displayed better antiviral activities against TMV than commercial ribavirin. Compounds 9k, 12b, and 12d displayed about similar inhibitory effects as ningnanmycin (inhibitory rates of 55, 57, and 59% at 500 μg/mL for inactivation, curative, and protection activities in vivo, respectively), the best antiviral agent at present, and emerged as novel antiviral leads for further research. We selected 9k for further antiviral mechanism research via transmission electron microscopy and molecular docking, which revealed that compound 9k can interact with TMV coat protein through the hydrogen bond, leading to its polymerization, thus preventing virus assembly. Further fungicidal activity tests showed that these compounds also showed broad-spectrum fungicidal activities against 14 kinds of phytopathogenic fungi. Especially, compound 14 with a 100% antifungal effect against Botrytis cinereal emerged as a lead for further research. This work provides a reference for the development of agricultural active ingredients based on Chinese medicine plants.

(Chemical Equation Presented) Total syntheses of 22-hydroxyacuminatine and luotonin A were achieved in direct fashion and high overall yields (16% in eight steps and 47% in five steps, respectively). A mild cascade methodology was successfully applied in both syntheses as a common strategy. The new approach presents the advantages of short routes, high overall yields, use of stable intermediates, and ease of operations.
