A variety of thiophene carboxamide compounds have been synthesized and tested on the succinate dehydrogenase complex (SDC) in mitochondria from a wild-type strain and carboxin-resistant strains of Ustilago maydis (corn smut). The site of action of thiophene carboxamides is identical to that of carboxin (5,6-dihydro-2-methyl-1,4-oxathiin-3-carboxanilide) and thenoyltrifluoroacetone, that is, the succinate-ubiquinone reductase (complex II) span in the mitochondrial electron transfer chain. This investigation reveals new molecular structures which are strong inhibitors of wild-type and carboxin-resistant SDCs. The 5-amino analog of the parent anilide, 3-methylthiophene-2-carboxanilide (I), proved to be an especially potent inhibitor of the wild-type SDC (I50, 0.019 μM). Analogs of (I) such as 4′-carboethoxy, 4′-nbutyl, 4′-phenyl, and 4′-benzoyl were negatively correlated in activity to the carboxanilide (I) with respect to resistance level. A number of structures showed considerable selectivity for mutated SDCs from both highly and (particularly) moderately carboxin-resistant SDCs of U. maydis, markedly lowering the resistance level, i.e., the degree of resistance. Thus, in addition to the oxathiins, specific structural groups of thiophene carboxamides can also alleviate or reverse the effect of carboxin-selected mutation with reference to inhibition of the SDC. Of important significance was the finding that molecular selectivity for mutated, carboxin-resistant SDCs can be influenced by replacement of an oxathiin by a thiophene heterocyclic ring as well as by the substitutive group on the amide nitrogen, permitting different categories of mutant types and even mutants within a single category to be distinguished from one another. With all the structural combinations available, it appears quite possible, in terms of inhibition, to overcome any type of mutation in a fungal SDC which arises through selection by carboxin or other carboxamide compounds. A reasonable correlation generally exists between inhibition by thiophene carboxamides of the SDC and sporidial growth of wild-type and carboxin-resistant strains of U. maydis. A permeability barrier to 4′-substituted analogs of (I) was encountered in the wild-type strain but not mutant strains. Excellent protectant activity against bean rust (Uromyces phaseoli) was obtained with the 3′-nhexyl, 3′-nhexyloxy, and 4′-phenoxy analogs of (I).  相似文献

The systemic fungicide carboxin (5,6-dihydro-2-methyl-1,4-oxathiin-3-carboxanilide) and structurally related analogs are powerful inhibitors of succinate oxidation in mitochondria isolated from a variety of sources. The site of action which is, apparently, also that for thenoyltrifluoracetone, is in the complex II (succinate-ubiquinone reductase) region of the mitochondrial electron transfer chain. The succinic dehydrogenase complex (SDC) in mitochondria from carbon-resistant mutant strains of Ustilago maydis and Aspergillus nidulans is resistant to the fungicide in vitro. The current study shows that certain oxathiin carboxamides are selectively active against particular mutated SDCs of U. maydis and A. nidulans. Molecular structures affecting the phenotypic expression of mutation to carboxin resistance in U. maydis do not appear to affect similarly such expression in A. nidulans and vice versa. Of particular interest was the discovery of oxathiin carboxamides, e.g., 4′-phenylcarboxin, which were more inhibitory to the enzyme complex from one category of carboxin-resistant mutants of U. maydis than from the wild-type strain. Although such negative correlation between carboxin and other carboxin analogs has not been observed in studies with other categories of mutants, structures which drastically lower the resistance level were found in all cases. It appears that for any given mutation affecting carboxin sensitivity of the SDC in fungi, a specific structural group of carboxamides (or even a specific carboxamide) may be found which will alleviate or reverse the effect of the mutation in terms of inhibition of the SDC. If the mutations alter a protein receptor site for carboxamides, such mutations might be expected to influence the binding of carboxins of different structure. In essence, then, different molecular structures can “recognize” different alterations in the mutated enzyme complex and inhibit effectively. With few exceptions, the inhibition by carboxamides of cell growth of wild-type and carboxin-resistant strains of U. maydis and A. nidulans closely paralleded the inhibition of their respective SDCs. Although the few analogs tested were found unable to control corn smut systemically in seedlings artificially inoculated with compatible carboxin-resistant strains, control of naturally occurring carboxin-resistant strains of pathogenic fungi may be possible using particular structural analogs of carboxin which selectively inhibit the mutant organisms.  相似文献

Carboxin (5,6-dihydro-2-methyl-1,4-oxathiin-3-carboxanilide) and the thiophene compound 3-methylthiophene-2-carboxanilide (I), inhibit succinate oxidation (succinate-ubiquinone reductase; complex II) in mitochondria from a wild-type strain and three mutant, carboxin-resistant strains of Aspergillus nidulans. Studies by White et al. [Pestic. Biochem. Physiol. 9, 165–182 (1978)] showed that certain oxathiin carboxamide structures were selectively active against particular mutated succinate dehydrogenase complexes (SDCs) of A. nidulans, significantly lowering the level of resistance. Although no oxathiin carboxamides were found to be negatively correlated to carboxin with respect to their effect on SDCs from wild-type and mutant strains of A. nidulans, several could distinguish between moderately and highly carboxin-resistant SDCs and, as shown in the present study, between the two non-allelic highly carboxin-resistant mutants cbx B-28 and cbx C-34. Variation in the molecular structure of thiophene carboxamides can also affect the phenotypic expression of mutations to carboxin resistance in the SDC of A. nidulans, with certain structures being capable of differentiating between moderately and highly carboxin-resistant mutated SDCs. With a moderately carboxin-resistant mutant, cbx A-17, a wide structural variety of thiophene carboxamides, e.g., the 2′-methyl, 2′-benzoyl, 3′-phenoxy, 4′-nbutyl and the N-nhexyl derivatives of (I), did exhibit negative activity correlation to the parent anilide (I). However, with the possible exception of the 4′-nbutyl and 4′-noctyloxy analogs of (I), thiophene carboxamides showed no negative activity correlation to carboxin or (I) for the highly carboxin-resistant mutants cbx B-28 and cbx C-34. As with carboxin-resistant mutants of Ustilago maydis [Pestic. Biochem. Physiol. 14, 26–40 (1980)], molecular selectivity for mutated carboxin-resistant SDCs of A. nidulans can be markedly influenced by substitution of an oxathiin with a thiophene heterocyclic ring. None of the thiophene carboxamides were considerably toxic to mycelial growth of the wild-type and carboxin-resistant strains of A. nidulans with permeability rather than affinity for the SDC appearing to be the limiting factor. For certain derivatives such as the 5-amino analog of (I), SDC activity and cell growth were inhibited similarly. Several thiophene carboxamides [2′-phenyl, 4′-phenoxy, and N-ndecyl analogs of (I)] showed specificity for the highly carboxin-resistant mutants cbx B-28 and cbx C-34. Thiophene carboxamide structures have been identified which inhibit spore germination of non-Basidiomycete plant pathogens, particularly Phytophthora infestans and Verticillium dahliae. In vivo experiments with late blight (P. infestans) on tomato plants have shown that a few thiophene carboxamides, e.g., the 3′-nbutyl analog of (I) give satisfactory protectant activity.  相似文献

A series of carboxin-like compounds, the N-methylpyrazole carboxanilides and their mono- and dimethyl derivatives have been assayed as inhibitors of succinate dehydrogenase enzyme complexes (SDCs) isolated from Ustilago maydis, Rhizoctonia solani, Gaeumanomyces graminis, and Fusarium oxysporum. The pattern of inhibitory activity within the series was broadly similar for each of the fungi although minor differences indicated some structural variation between the enzyme complexes. There was a general correlation between inhibition of the SDCs isolated from R. solani and G. graminis and inhibition of mycelial growth of these same organisms which was consistent with the primary mode of action of these compounds being interference with mitochondrial electron transport. No such correlation was evident with F. oxysporum, where some of the compounds showed activity against the SDC but none had any effect on fungal growth. This suggests that if SDC inhibitory activity is the primary determinant of the anti-fungal activity of these compounds it does not necessarily determine their anti-fungal specificity: some possible explanations are offered.  相似文献

Carboxin (5,6-dihydro-2-methyl-1,4-oxathiin-3-carboxanilide) was tested for its effect on the activities of mitochondria from several fungi, pinto beans and rat liver. Succinate oxidation by mitochondria from the sensitive fungus Ustilago maydis was inhibited by low concentrations of carboxin, the Ki being 0.32 μM. The inhibition was of a noncompetitive nature. Succinate oxidation was also inhibited in the mitochondria from other sources but not to the extent as in those from U. maydis. Carboxin had little effect on the oxidation of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. The dioxide of carboxin, oxycarboxin, was not as effective in inhibiting succinate oxidation as was carboxin, but was more effective than the monoxide. Carboxin did not appear to uncouple oxidative phosphorylation in the presence of succinate in tightly coupled rat liver mitochondria but did decrease the respiratory control ratio. Carboxin was ineffective in releasing oligomycin inhibition in coupled rat liver mitochondria while dinitrophenol and salicylanilide were effective in this respect. It is believed that carboxin inhibits mitochondrial respiration at or close to the site of succinate oxidation and does not greatly affect the remaining portion of the electron transport system or the coupled phosphorylation reactions.  相似文献

Aspergillus niger converts the herbicide 3′-chloro-2-methyl-p-valerotoluidide (solan) to 3′-chloro-4′-methylacetanilide and the fungicide 2,5-dimethylfuran-3-carboxanilide to acetanilide. The metabolites were formed by hydrolysis with an aryl acylamidase, followed by subsequent acetylation resulting in the corresponding acetanilides. Their structures were elucidated by mass spectrometric analysis and confirmed by comparison with synthetic compounds.  相似文献

Tridemorph (2,6-dimethyl-N-tridecylmorpholine) was active against representative of nearly all taxonomic groups of fungi; gram-positive bacteria were also sensitive although gram-negative were not. Tridemorph, 3–10 μg/ml, inhibited the multiplication of sporidia of Ustilago maydis more strongly than the increase of dry weight. The treated sporidia appeared swollen, multicellular, and sometimes branched. Unsaturated lipophilic compounds like α-tocopherol and trilinolein alleviated the toxicity of tridemorph to Botrytis allii and U. maydis. Protein and RNA syntheses were inhibited slightly. DNA synthesis was rather strongly affected already after 2 hr. Lipid synthesis was first inhibited but later stimulated. At an early stage (2 hr) treated cells differed already from control cells by a higher content of free fatty acids. Tridemorph also inhibited sterol biosynthesis. The antimicrobial spectrum, the characteristic morphology of treated cells of U. maydis, the observations on cross-resistance, the alleviating effect of unsaturated lipophilic compounds, and the alterations in neutral lipid pattern suggest strong similarity of the mode of action of tridemorph with that of the known inhibitors of sterol biosynthesis.  相似文献

To investigate different control measures against the diseases in winter rye several trials were done in the German federal states. As a result from these trials the brown rust,Puccinia recondita f. sp.secalis, was the disease with the most negative influence on the yield. The brown rust occurrence at different times on the top three leaves depend on the winter and spring weather. It should be verify whether the protective use of fungicide mixtures with the new carboxamides active ingredient benefits the curative use (disease onset) in terms of achieved efficiency againstP. recondita. It can be stated that the action threshold does not need to be changed when using fungicide mixtures with carboxamides. Regarding the duration of the fungicide efficacy againstP. recondita an order in increasingly levels of efficiency could be determinate. The order is, from lowest to highest, azole fungicides, strobilurin-azole compounds, azole carboxamide compounds, and azole-carboxamide strobilurin mixtures. Due to the variability in the values of the individual test sites in the experimental series the tendency could be confirmed, however, no statistical significant differences between the various mixtures could be determined. The new carboxamides enrich the possibilities of targeted anti-resistance strategy againstP. recondita in winter rye. These trials results are introduced into recommendations for agricultural practice.  相似文献

Aureobasidium pullulans, Sporobolomyces roseus, andCryptococcus laurentii var.flavescens, added to the inoculum, reduced the superficial mycelial growth ofSeptoria nodorum and the infection of wheat leaves by 50% or more. The mycelial growth was affected similarly in vitro, on slides covered with water agar. The antagonistic effect on germination was slight. The concentration of the saprophytes on the leaves after inoculation was comparable to population densities occurring on field-grown wheat.Samenvatting Aureobasidium pullulans, Sporobolomyces roseus enCryptococcus laurentii var.flavescens toegevoegd aan een conidiënsuspensie vanSeptoria nodorum verminderden de oppervlakkige myceliumgroei vanSeptoria en de infectie, van de bladeren tot de helft of meer (Tabel 1). Het effect op de sporekieming was gering. In vitro, op zgn. agarglaasjes, werd de myceliumgroei op vergelijkbare wijze geremd (Tabel 2). De concentrative van de saprofyten na inoculatie kwam overeen met in het veld voorkomende populatiedichtheden (Tabel 3).  相似文献

In order to find the biorational pesticides, we have synthesized two series of daphneolone analogues including 5-methylfuryl chalcones and 5-nitrofuryl chalcones by optimizing daphneolone analogues from Stellera chamaejasme L. with the good insecticidal properties of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. All the synthesized compounds have been evaluated for anti-plant pathogenic fungi activities. The bioactivity assay showed that some of these daphneolone analogues were potentially active against plant pathogenic fungi, Rhizoctonia solani, Gibberella zeae, Bipolaris maydis, Sclerotia sclerotium and Botrytis cirerea, while the most potent 1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-3-(5-methylfuran-2-yl)propenone (compound 7) in this study showed good inhibitory activity against R. solani at 200 mg L−1 with ca. 100% inhibition.  相似文献

The fungicides miconazole, fenarimol, and etaconazole block ergosterol biosynthesis in fungi by inhibiting sterol 14α-demethylation, which is mediated by a cytochrome P-450 enzyme. The sensitivity of cytochrome P-450-dependent hydroxylation or demethylation of several substrates to these fungicides and similar compounds was compared to that of fungal growth and sterol 14α-demethylation. Demethylation of p-chloro-N-methylaniline (PCMA) by sporidia of Ustilago maydis and 11α-hydroxylation of progesterone by Aspergillus nidulans were relatively insensitive to these compounds and to metyrapone. The ability of a sterol 14α-demethylation-deficient mutant to demethylate PCMA indicates that this substrate is not demethylated by the sterol 14α-demethylation system of U. maydis. The 14α-hydroxylation of progesterone by cells of Curvularia lunata was quite sensitive to the three fungicides, and also to metyrapone and isopropylphenylimidazole. This system was less sensitive to the three fungicides than sterol 14α-demethylation, but was appreciably more sensitive than PCMA demethylation. A study of progesterone 14α-hydroxylation in cell-free preparations of C. lunata showed the reaction to be inhibited by CO, and to be competitively inhibited by low concentrations of miconazole. These data suggest that the primary action of sterol biosynthesis-inhibiting (SBI) fungicides is competitive inhibition of sterol/steroid-type cytochrome P-450 enzymes rather than interference with the function of sterol carrier proteins or enzyme-modulating phospholipids.  相似文献

A study was conducted to identify volatile organic compounds or volatiles produced by Candida intermedia strain C410 using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and to determine efficacy of the volatiles of C. intermedia in suppression of conidial germination and mycelial growth of Botrytis cinerea and control of Botrytis fruit rot of strawberry. Results showed that, among 49 volatiles (esters, alcohols, alkenes, alkanes, alkynes, organic acids, ketones, and aldehydes) identified from C. intermedia cultures on yeast extract peptone dextrose agar, two compounds, 1,3,5,7-cyclooctatetraene and 3-methyl-1-butanol, were the most abundant. Synthetic chemicals of 1,3,5,7-cyclooctatetraene; 3-methyl-1-butanol; 2-nonanone; pentanoic acid, 4-methyl-, ethyl ester; 3-methyl-1-butanol, acetate; acetic acid, pentyl ester; and hexanoic acid, ethyl ester were highly inhibitory to conidial germination and mycelial growth of B. cinerea. Inhibition of conidial germination and mycelial growth of B. cinerea by volatiles of C. intermedia was also observed. Meanwhile, results showed that incidence and severity of Botrytis fruit rot of strawberry was significantly (P < 0.01) reduced by exposure of the strawberry fruit to the volatiles from C. intermedia cultures or C. intermedia-infested strawberry fruit. These results suggest that the volatiles of C. intermedia C410 are promising biofumigants for control of Botrytis fruit rot of strawberry.  相似文献

The antifungal activity of fifteen wild plant species grown in the Al-Qassim region, Saudi Arabia, was investigated against the fungi species Fusarium solani, Botrytis cinerea, Alternaria alternata and Stemphylium botryosum at concentrations of 10, 20, 40 and 80?g/L. The inhibitory effect of test extracts varied among examined fungi, and Fusarium solani exhibited the least sensitivity compared to other fungi species. Antifungal activity of the tested extracts was proportional to the applied dose. Extracts of Lactuca virosa, Neurada procumbens, Ochradenus baccatus and Cyperus conglomerates showed relatively low inhibition effects on the fungi species. The most effective plants were Pulicaria undulata, Artemisia monosperma, Prosopis juliflora, Withania somnifera and Rumex vesicarius. At 80?g/L, extracts of these plant species reduced mycelial growth of Botrytis cinerea by 16.5–32.2%, of Fusarium solani by 11.1–27.9%, of Alternaria alternaae by 26.9–63.5% and of Stemphylium botryosum by 22–40%. The methanolic extract of the most effective plant species was further fractioned with hexane, methylene chloride and ethyl acetate. The obtained fractions varied in their effects on mycelial growth of the four tested fungi. Using the same fraction resulted in different inhibition effects on mycelial growth of all tested fungi. The antifungal activity of each crude extract tended to be distributed among its three fractions, probably because the bioactive components were also distributed among the fractions.  相似文献

There is a growing necessity to replace chemical agents with ecofriendly materials, arising from the impact on the environment and/or human health, which calls for the design of new broad-spectrum fungicides. In this work, chitosan oligomers (COs), propolis (Ps) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) mixtures in solution were assessed to control the growth of different phytopathogenic fungi and oomycetes in vitro. Binary solutions of COs-Ps and COs-AgNPs evinced the highest antifungal effect against Fusarium circinatum and Diplodia pinea fungi, respectively, with a ca. 80% reduction in their mycelial growth. The COs solution by itself also proved to be greatly effective against Gremmeniella abietina, Cryphonectria parasitica and Heterobasidion annosum fungi, causing a reduction of 78%, 86% and 93% in their growth rate, respectively. Likewise, COs also attained a 100% growth inhibition on the oomycete Phytophthora cambivora. On the other hand, Ps inhibited totally the growth of Phytophthora ×alni and Phytophthora plurivora. The application of AgNPs reduced the mycelial growth of F. circinatum and D. pinea. However, the AgNPs in some binary and ternary mixtures had a counter-productive effect on the anti-fungal/oomycete activity. In spite of the fact that the anti-fungal/oomycete activity of the different treatments showed a dependence on the particular type of microorganism, these solutions based on natural compounds can be deemed as a promising tool for control of tree diseases.  相似文献

Action of methyl-2-benzimidazolecarbamate (MBC), a breakdown product of benomyl, was studied in synchronous cultures of Ustilago maydis and Saccharomyces cerevesiae. Cells treated with MBC developed similarly to control cells until the two portions of the doublets (joined mother and daughter “cells”) were morphologically equivalent. At this point development of the treated cells ceased but control doublets separated to form two new cells. The compound did not prevent DNA synthesis during the first cell cycle of synchronized S. cerevesiae cells but did prevent completion of cell division, as it did also in synchronized U. maydis sporidia which already contained the DNA complement needed for completion of the first division. Mitosis did not go to completion in MBC-treated cells so the doublets formed contained only a single compact nucleus. The effect of MBC markedly resembles mitotic arrest caused by colchicine and isopropyl N-phenylcarbamate in higher plants and griseofulvin in the fungus Aspergillus nidulans. Inhibition of DNA synthesis in U. maydis and inhibition of cytokinesis in both organisms studied are secondary effects attributable to mitotic failure.A volatile compound toxic to U. maydis and S. cerevesiae was demonstrated in air over moistened benomyl. Hexane, through which such air samples were passed, or hexane extracts of aqueous suspensions of benomyl contained a substance having the same ir spectrum and retention time in two gas chromatographic systems as butyl isocyanate (BIC).BIC inhibited respiration of U. maydis and S. cerevesiae in a manner similar to benomyl. Benomyl partially inhibited respiration of subcellular particles from both organisms. MBC had essentially no effect on whole cell or subcellular particle respiration of either organism. Toxicity of benomyl preparations is not attributed to “benomyl” as such, but to two breakdown products, MBC and BIC. Therefore, differential effects of benomyl preparations and of MBC on growth and metabolism in fungi should be ascribed to BIC.  相似文献

Salicylic acid (SA) and two yeast antagonists, Rhodotorula glutinis and Cryptococcus laurentii, were investigated separately and together for controlling Penicillium expansum and Alternaria alternata in sweet cherry fruit. Applied separately, both SA (0·5 mm, pH 3·6) and antagonists inhibited decay caused by P. expansum and A. alternata. Biocontrol activity of R. glutinis was enhanced in combination with SA, whereas the efficacy of C. laurentii was not affected. Application of SA did not affect the growth of R. glutinis and C. laurentii in cherry wounds. Results of in vitro studies showed that SA at low concentrations had little effect on the growth of the yeasts or the pathogens. SA treatment induced a significant increase in polyphenoloxidase, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, and β-1,3-glucanase activity in cherry fruit, but did not alter the levels of peroxidase. The mechanism by which SA enhanced the biocontrol efficacy of the antagonistic yeast may be related to its ability to induce biochemical defense responses in sweet cherry fruit rather than its fungitoxicity effects on the pathogens.  相似文献

In order to create novel potent antifungal agents, the antifungal effects of 6-bromo-4-ethoxyethylthio quinazoline on plant pathogenic fungi were evaluated by mycelial growth rate method. The bioassay results showed that title compound possesses high antifungal activities on fungi with EC50 values ranging from 17.47 to 70.79 μg/mL. The mechanism of action of 6-bromo-4-ethoxyethylthio quinazoline against fungi was studied in Gibberella zeae model. After treated with title compound at 100 μg/mL for 12 h, the mycelial reducing sugar, chitosan, soluble protein and pyruvate content, chitinase activity showed declining tendency.  相似文献

2-Hydroxy-5-methyl-6-ethoxycarbonylpyrazolo(1,5-a)pyrimidine (PP), a conversion product of pyrazophos, shows considerable toxicity toUstilago maydis, when administered to this fungus in a solution at pH<5. Evidence was obtained thatU. maydis may convert pyrazophos in to PP, and that the latter compound is the toxic principle responsible for the action of pyrazophos. By UV-irradiation of sporidia no PP-resistant mutants were obtained. This does not support the hypothesis that this toxicant acts by specific inhibition of one enzyme system.  相似文献

Laccase enzymes (benzenediol: oxygen oxidoreductase, EC 1.10.3.2) play a major role in the degradation of phenolic compounds such as lignin. They are common in fungi and have been suggested to participate in host colonization by pathogenic fungi. Putative mycoviruses have recently been isolated from the causal agent of pine pitch canker disease, Fusarium circinatum Nirenberg & O'Donell. In this study, the effects of single and double mycoviral infections on laccase activity, growth rate and pathogenicity were investigated in fourteen F. circinatum strains. Extracellular laccase activity was analyzed by the Bavendamm test, image processing and a spectrophotometric method. Mycelial growth, in vivo pathogenicity and seedling survival probability were also determined in Monterrey pine (Pinus radiata D. Don) seedlings. The findings showed that (i) mycelial growth of isolates from the same fungal population was homogeneous, (ii) the presence of mycovirus appears to increase the virulence of fungal isolates, (iii) co-infection (with two mycoviruses) caused cryptic effects in fungal isolates, and (iv) laccases embody a possible auxiliary tool in fungal infection. The prospects for biocontrol, the adaptive role of F. circinatum mycoviruses and the importance of laccase enzymes in host colonization are discussed.  相似文献
