Design, Synthesis, and Structure-Activity Relationship of Quinazolinone Derivatives as Potential Fungicides

Plant diseases caused by phytopathogenic fungi reduce the yield and quality of crops. To develop novel antifungal agents, we designed and synthesized eight series of quinazolinone derivatives and evaluated their anti-phytopathogenic fungal activity. The bioassay results revealed that compounds KZL-15, KZL-22, 5b, 6b, 6c, 8e, and 8f exhibited remarkable antifungal activity in vitro. Especially, compound 6c displayed the highest bioactivity against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Pellicularia sasakii, Fusarium graminearum, and Fusarium oxysporum, displaying appreciable IC50 values (50% inhibitory concentration) of 2.46, 2.94, 6.03, and 11.9 μg/mL, respectively. A further mechanism interrogation revealed abnormal mycelia, damaged organelles, and changed permeability of cell membranes in S. sclerotiorum treated with compound 6c. In addition, the in vivo bioassay indicated that compound 6c possessed comparable curative and protective effects (87.3 and 90.7%, respectively) to the positive control azoxystrobin (89.5 and 91.2%, respectively) at 100 μg/mL concentration against S. sclerotiorum. This work validated the potential of compound 6c as a new and promising fungicide candidate, contributing to the exploration of potent antifungal agents.

Studies of Rutaecarpine and Related Quinazolinocarboline Alkaloids

Quinazolinocarboline alkaloids, e.g., rutaecarpine (1), can readily be synthesized by treating tryptamine with 2-(trifluoromethyl)-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-one (quickly generated in situ from trifluoroacetic anhydride (TFAA) and 2H-3,1-benzoxazine-2,4(1H)-dione.The product formed, 3--2-(trifluoromethyl)-4-(3H)-quinazolinone (5), is then cyclized (HCl/HOAc) to 13b-(trifluoromethyl)-13b,14-dihydrorutaecarpine (6), whereupon CF3H is eliminated by treatment with base.The sequence can conveniently be performed as a three-reaction one-pot procedure giving rutaecarpine (1) in 99percent yield within 3h.The approach can readily be extended to the synthesis of evodiamine (2), 13,13b-dehydroevodiamine (38a), and 13b,14-dihydrorutaecarpine (21).Thus treatment of 3--4(3H)-quinazolinone (19) with TFAA affected cyclization to 13b-(trifluoroacetyl)-13b,14-dihydrorutaecarpine (20), which can be readily hydrolyzed to 13b,14-dihydrorutaecarpine (21).
