Chemical proteomics is widely applied in small-molecule target identification. However, in general it does not identify non-protein small-molecule targets, and thus, alternative methods for target identification are in high demand. We report the discovery of the autophagy inhibitor autoquin and the identification of its molecular mode of action using image-based morphological profiling in the cell painting assay. A compound-induced fingerprint representing changes in 579 cellular parameters revealed that autoquin accumulates in lysosomes and inhibits their fusion with autophagosomes. In addition, autoquin sequesters Fe2+ in lysosomes, resulting in an increase of lysosomal reactive oxygen species and ultimately cell death. Such a mechanism of action would have been challenging to unravel by current methods. This work demonstrates the potential of the cell painting assay to deconvolute modes of action of small molecules, warranting wider application in chemical biology.

Inspired by quinine and its analogues, we designed, synthesized, and evaluated two series of quinoline small molecular compounds (a and 2a) and six series of quinoline derivatives (3a-f) for their antifungal activities. The results showed that compounds 3e and 3f series exhibited significant fungicidal activities. Significantly, compounds 3f-4 (EC50 = 0.41 μg/mL) and 3f-28 (EC50 = 0.55 μg/mL) displayed the superior in vitro fungicidal activity and the potent in vivo curative effect against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Preliminary mechanism studies showed that compounds 3f-4 and 3f-28 could cause changes in the cell membrane permeability, accumulation of reactive oxygen species, loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, and effective inhibition of germination and formation of S. sclerotiorum sclerotia. These results indicate that compounds 3f-4 and 3f-28 are novel potential fungicidal candidates against S. sclerotiorum derived from natural products.

All 8,9-isomers of the 9-phenyl Cinchona alkaloids were obtained by autoxidation of 9-deoxy-9-phenyl-alkaloids and by the addition of Grignard reagents to the respective ketones. The diastereoselective addition of phenyl-, methyl-, and vinylmagnesium reag
