Abstract
A chemically diverse library of benzimidazole-azo-phenol derivatives was efficiently prepared and screened for their antifungal activities against five phytopathogenic fungi. Some compounds exhibited potent antifungal activities. As compared with a commercially available agricultural fungicide, hymexazol, especially compound V-5 showed the most promising broad-spectrum antifungal activities against five phytopathogenic fungi. The EC50 values of V-5 against F. graminearum, A. solani, V. mali, B. cinerea, and C. lunata were 0.09, 0.08, 0.06, 0.07, and 0.11 μmol/mL, respectively.
Keywords: Antifungal activity, benzimidazole-azo-phenol, phytopathogenic fungi, synthesis.
