Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of pesticide chemistry, and in particular to a phenoxybenzamide derivative containing substituted pyrazole, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Pesticides are essential production materials in food production, playing a crucial role in ensuring high and stable crop yields. Statistics show that plant pathogenic fungal infections reduce global crop yields by 20% annually, with an additional 10% reduction after harvest. This not only causes huge economic losses for farmers but also seriously threatens global food security. The application of fungicides is currently the most effective measure for controlling plant pathogenic fungi, saving significant losses each year. Among numerous fungicides, SDHIs (Synthetic Pathogens Inhibitors) are widely used due to their highly effective and broad-spectrum antifungal activity. Their mechanism of action involves affecting the respiratory chain electron transport system of pathogens by acting on protein complex II, hindering energy metabolism, inhibiting pathogen growth, and leading to their death, thereby preventing disease.
[0003] The most significant chemical characteristic of SDHIs (Synthetic Activated Hydroxide Inhibitors) is the presence of an amide group. Newly developed SDHIs are derived from existing ones through group substitution. From 1996 to 2022, 24 SDH inhibitors were marketed, 13 of which contain a pyrazole ring, representing 54.17% (13 / 24). Due to their broad-spectrum and highly effective antifungal activity, these fungicides have been used to control fungal diseases on many crops and have become an important class of fungicides in production. However, with the widespread use and misuse of SDHIs, coupled with their increasing years of use, many plant pathogenic fungi have developed significant resistance to existing SDHIs. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new and highly effective SDHIs to effectively control plant diseases and delay fungal resistance development. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art.
[0005] Therefore, this invention proposes a phenoxybenzamide derivative containing substituted pyrazole, its preparation method, and its application. It utilizes a diphenyl ether structure with a superior structure and organically combines the diphenyl ether structure with the substituted pyrazole through an amide bond to synthesize a novel class of phenoxybenzamide derivatives containing substituted pyrazole, which becomes a compound with highly efficient and broad-spectrum inhibitory activity against plant pathogens.
[0006] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a phenoxybenzamide derivative containing a substituted pyrazole is characterized in that its general chemical structural formula (I) is as follows:
[0007]
[0008] Wherein, R1 is trifluoromethyl or difluoromethyl; R2 is hydrogen, methyl, methoxy, trifluoromethyl, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or a combination of multiple substitutions thereof, substituted at different positions; and R3 is hydrogen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or thiocyanate.
[0009] This invention also provides a method for preparing phenoxybenzamide derivatives containing substituted pyrazoles, wherein the phenoxybenzamide derivatives containing substituted pyrazoles are synthesized via the following synthetic route:
[0010]
[0011] Intermediate II is a substituted pyrazolamine; intermediate III is a substituted phenoxybenzoic acid.
[0012] The present invention also provides an application of a phenoxybenzamide derivative containing substituted pyrazole, wherein the phenoxybenzamide derivative containing substituted pyrazole is applied to an agricultural fungicide.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are that it organically combines the phenoxybenzoic acid structure with the substituted pyrazole fragment via an amide bond to synthesize a novel class of phenoxybenzamide derivatives containing substituted pyrazoles. Common plant fungi and oomycetes, such as *Sclerotinia sclerotiorum*, *Pseudomonas aeruginosa*, *Rhizoctonia solani*, *Botrytis cinerea*, *Phytophthora capsulatum*, and *Tricholoma materia humicana*, were selected as targets for antibacterial activity assays. The results showed that these compounds exhibited broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against plant pathogenic fungi, particularly showing excellent antibacterial activity against *Pseudomonas aeruginosa* and *Sclerotinia sclerotiorum*. Structure-activity relationship analysis indicated that the fluorine substitution on the trifluoromethylpyrazole ring and the 3,5-di-Cl substitution on the benzene ring in the molecular skeleton play a crucial role in maintaining the high efficiency and broad-spectrum antibacterial activity of these compounds. These compounds possess original and novel structures, are simple to synthesize, and are completely different from existing commercial fungicides, showing promise for development into a novel, efficient, safe, economical, and environmentally friendly green fungicide.
[0014] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the phenoxybenzamide derivative I containing substituted pyrazole is a compound as follows:
[0015]
[0016] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the specific preparation steps are as follows:
[0017] Using substituted pyrazolamide (intermediate II) and substituted phenoxybenzoic acid (intermediate III) as raw materials, an amide condensation reaction was carried out under dichloromethane and alkaline conditions using tetramethylchlorourea hexafluorophosphate (TCFH) as a condensing agent to generate phenoxybenzamide derivatives containing substituted pyrazol, i.e., general formula (I). The obtained product was purified by column chromatography to obtain a pure product.
[0018] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the phenoxybenzamide derivative containing substituted pyrazole is applied to control plant pathogens such as apple rot fungus, grape gray mold fungus, wheat take-all fungus, rapeseed sclerotinia rot fungus, and rice sheath blight fungus.
[0019] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the phenoxybenzamide derivative containing substituted pyrazole is used to prepare various pesticide formulations for the prevention and control of plant diseases caused by plant pathogens.

[0113] 3. Experimental Results
[0114] 3.1 Initial screening for antibacterial activity
[0115] A strategy guided by antibacterial activity results was employed to derive and modify target compounds. Initially, only target compounds I-1–I-15 were synthesized. Using the mycelial growth rate method, antibacterial activity was screened against six different plant pathogenic fungi, including *Sclerotinia sclerotinia*, at a target compound concentration of 20 mg / L. The results are shown in the figure. For *Sclerotinia sclerotinia*, five compounds showed inhibition rates exceeding 60%: compound I-1 (67.6%), compound I-4 (65.7%), compound I-5 (79.0%), compound I-9 (76.2%), and compound I-12 (81.2%). For rice sheath blight pathogens, four compounds showed inhibition rates exceeding 60%: compound I-6 (63.1%), compound I-7 (64.2%), compound I-10 (63.0%), and compound I-12 (72.1%). For apple rot pathogens, only four compounds showed inhibition rates below 60%: compound I-2 (52.3%), compound I-14 (43.4%), and compound I-15 (45.0%). The inhibition rates of the remaining compounds ranged from 60.5% to 94.4%.
[0116] For both wheat take-all and grape botrytis, only one compound showed an inhibition rate exceeding 60%, namely compound I-6 (60.8%) and compound I-7 (64.0%). Unfortunately, for pepper phytophthora, the inhibition rates of all compounds were less than 60%, with the compound with the highest activity being I-12 (41.0%).
[0117] In general, most compounds showed good inhibitory effects against *Rhizoctonia solani*, *Sclerotinia sclerotiorum*, and *Phytophthora rottensis* of apples; however, they were less effective against *Tricholoma matsutake*, *Botrytis cinerea*, and *Phytophthora capsici*. Compounds I-6, I-7, and I-12 all showed good broad-spectrum activity, with inhibition rates exceeding 60% against all three fungi. This indicates that substitution of the benzene ring with methoxy and chlorine atoms resulted in better antibacterial activity. However, when the benzene ring was substituted with difluoromethoxy, the activity against *Sclerotinia sclerotiorum* and *Rhizoctonia solani* increased, while the activity against other fungi decreased to varying degrees. This also highlights the importance of the diphenyl ether skeleton in the antibacterial activity of the target compound. Comparative analysis revealed that the antibacterial activity was significantly better when the benzene ring at position 3 was substituted than when it was substituted at position 4. Compound I-12 showed the best activity. Based on this, to consider whether multiple substitutions would enhance the antibacterial activity of the target compounds, we synthesized disubstituted target compounds such as I-16 (3,4-di-Cl) and I-17 (3,5-di-Cl). Antibacterial activity assays showed that compared with compound I-12, compounds I-16 and I-17 significantly enhanced the inhibitory effect on all fungi, with compound I-17 (3,5-di-Cl) showing the most significant improvement.
[0118] Compounds I-16 and I-17 showed improved inhibition rates against *Sclerotinia sclerotiniae* (80.2%, 90.1%), *Rhizoctonia solani* (75.2%, 79.2%), *Pseudomonas aeruginosa* (85.2%, 100%), *Tricholoma materia velutipes* (78.21%, 83.8%), *Botrytis cinerea* (68.3%, 72.5%), and *Phytophthora capsici* (45.2%, 48.1%). Comparative analysis revealed that, except for *Phytophthora capsici*, the inhibition rates against the other five fungi were significantly improved, particularly against *Tricholoma materia velutipes* and *Botrytis cinerea*. Based on this, we believe that introducing multiple substitutions can not only significantly enhance the antifungal activity of the target compounds but also significantly broaden their control spectrum.
[0119] To investigate the effect of introducing a halogen at the 4-position of the pyrazole ring on the antibacterial activity of the target compound, we selected compounds I-17 and I-18 as lead compounds and synthesized compounds I-19–I-24 by introducing a halogen and a thiocyanate group at the 4-position of their pyrazole rings. The results showed that introducing a fluorine atom at the 4-position of the pyrazole ring enhanced the inhibition rates of compound I-21 against *Sclerotinia sclerotiorum* (96.5%), *Rhizoctonia solani* (83.8%), *Pseudomonas aeruginosa* (100%), *Tricholoma materia humicinum* (91.6%), *Botrytis cinerea* (76.1%), and *Phytophthora capsici* (58.4%) to varying degrees. Based on this, we believe that introducing a halogen at the 4-position of the pyrazole ring can significantly improve the antibacterial activity of the target compound.

[0124] 3.2 Antibacterial activity rescreening
[0125] Based on the initial screening results, to further determine their antibacterial activity and structure-activity relationship, we selected compounds with good antibacterial activity and further measured their EC50 against *Aureobasidium canis*, *Botrytis cinerea*, *Tricholoma materia granatum*, *Tricholoma take-all*, *Sclerotinia sclerotiorum*, and *Rhizoctonia solani*. 50 The results are shown in Table 2. The results indicate that among compounds I-1–I-18, the optimal compound is I-17, which exhibits the best EC50 concentration against *Aureobasidium aureum*, *Botrytis cinerea*, *Tricholoma materia granatum*, *Sclerotinia sclerotiorum*, *Rhizoctonia solani*, and *Rhizoctonia solani*. 50The concentrations were 0.79 mg / L, 10.54 mg / L, 3.50 mg / L, 2.78 mg / L, and 3.45 mg / L, respectively. Except for *Sclerotinia sclerotinia*, its control efficacy against other fungi was superior to fluopyram. It is worth noting that although compound I-16 showed better initial screening activity against *Ailuropoda rubra* than compound I-12, its EC50 concentration against *Ailuropoda rubra* was lower. 50 The concentration was 4.79 mg / L, significantly lower than that of compound I-12 (EC). 50 =1.71 mg / L); Furthermore, the activity of compound I-16 was superior to that of compound I-12. In addition, for the apple rot pathogen, the EC50 values of compounds I-4, I-6, and I-8 were... 50 The values were 6.73 mg / L, 3.68 mg / L, and 1.98 mg / L, respectively, which were significantly better than those of fluopyram (12.45 mg / L). For rice sheath blight pathogens, the EC50 values of compounds I-12 (R2 = 3-Cl, R3 = F), I-16, and I-17 were... 50 The values were 9.74 mg / L, 4.36 mg / L and 3.45 mg / L, respectively.
[0126] Introducing fluorine and chlorine atoms at the 4-position of the pyrazole ring enhances the activity of the target compound to varying degrees, with fluorine introduction showing the best effect, while bromine introduction slightly decreases the activity. Furthermore, comparing compounds I-19 and I-22, and compounds I-20 and I-23, we found that compounds with a trifluoromethyl group at the 3-position of the pyrazole ring exhibit significantly better activity than those with a difluoromethyl group.
[0127] In summary, compound I-21 exhibits the best activity against the apple rot pathogen (EC). 50 =0.52 mg / L), Grape Botrytis cinerea (EC) 50 =3.42 mg / L), wheat take-all pathogen (EC) 50 =1.46 mg / L) has better activity than fluopyram (EC). 50 =12.45 mg / L, EC 50 =8.33 mg / L, EC 50 =1.93 mg / L), which is effective against Sclerotinia sclerotinia, the causal agent of rapeseed disease (EC). 50 =0.82 mg / L) and rice sheath blight pathogen (EC) 50 EC = 1.46 mg / L 50 Approaching fluopyram (EC) 50 =0.23 mg / L, EC 50 =0.62 mg / L).

Then, take out the petri dish containing the rapeseed seeds and place it at room temperature for about 12-24 hours. After the rapeseed seeds show signs of sprouting, select 3 rapeseed seeds that have sprouted and plant them in a pot containing nutrient soil and vermiculite in a ratio of about 3:1. Place the planted pots in a greenhouse for cultivation. Cultivate a total of 50 pots of rapeseed seedlings for later use.

[0140] Compound 21, exhibiting the best in vitro antibacterial activity, was selected to determine its in vivo antibacterial activity against *Sclerotinia sclerotinia*, the causal agent of rapeseed rot. Healthy, disease-free rapeseed plants of uniform size were selected, and one leaf was inoculated from each plant. The leaves were treated with 75% ethanol, rinsed with sterile water, and allowed to dry. The leaves were then punctured with a sterilized needle. A 20 mg / L solution of the compound and a control agent was prepared and sprayed evenly onto the leaves. After the leaves dried again, a mycelial-side of the mycelial cake was applied to the wound using a sterilized inoculation needle. A piece of absorbent cotton was then placed over the mycelial cake and secured with plastic wrap. Each treatment was repeated in triplicate, with water containing DMSO as a blank. After culturing at 25°C for 7 days, the infection and rot of *Sclerotinia sclerotinia* on the rapeseed leaf surface were observed. Based on the results of the disease observation in the blank control, the diameter of the lesions was measured using the cross-sectional method. The experimental results were calculated using the following formula.

[0152] Select apple branches of roughly the same thickness and length. First, wash the surface of the branches with purified water to remove dust. After drying, soak them in a 0.06% sodium hypochlorite solution for 10 minutes for disinfection. After disinfection, remove the branches, let them dry, and seal the top and bottom ends of the branches with melted paraffin wax. Place the hole punch over the outer flame of an alcohol lamp and heat it. After the temperature drops, punch a hole in the middle of the branch for later use.
[0153] For the protective activity assay, the compound and control agent were prepared into solutions with a concentration of 50 mg / L. Healthy apples were sprayed with the target compound and control agent, respectively. After the apple branches dried, a piece of apple rot fungus (d = 5 mm) was inoculated into the center of each apple branch. Each treatment was repeated in triplicate, with water containing DMSO as a blank.

[0164] The CDOCKER docking system in Discovery Studio 2019 software was used. Compounds with excellent activity were used as ligands. Ligand structures were drawn using Chem Bio Draw Ultra 14.0 and imported into Chem Bio3D Ultra 14.0. A local low-energy conformation (Minmize) search method was employed to perform charge loading and field optimization on the ligand molecules to obtain their appropriate low-energy conformations. Subsequently, the processed small molecules were opened in Discovery Studio 2019, and the ligand preparation module was run to complete the ligand preparation process.
[0165] The three-dimensional structure of the SDH protein crystal was obtained from the RCSB Protein Data Bank (http: / / www.rcsb.org / pdb / home / home.do), PDB number: 2FBW. The protein was imported into Discovery Studio 2019. Since 2FBW is a dimer, the duplicate half was first removed, followed by the removal of water and some non-essential substructures from the crystal. Then, the co-crystallized ligand, oxychloride, was extracted from 2FBW. The protein crystal was then hydrogenated, and the protein preparation module was run. After protein preparation, the prepared protein was defined as the receptor, and the original position of oxychloride was defined as the binding site. The receptor SDH and the ligand molecule were then imported into Discovery Studio 4.0 software for simulated docking experiments to analyze the interaction mechanism between the molecular target and the target compound.
[0166] 3. Experimental Results
[0167] To investigate the binding modes of compounds I-12, I-17, and I-21 to SDH, they were coupled to the active site of SDH with fluopyram; from Figure 3 It can be seen that the pyrazole rings of all four compounds are deeply embedded in the active pocket, forming a good shape complementarity with the active pocket. It can also be seen that the compound I-21 has the best degree of binding.
[0168] Table 5. Binding energies of compounds I-12, I-17, I-21 and fluopyram with SDH
[0169]
[0170] As can be seen from Table 5, compound I-12 (-36.50 kcal / mol) -1 The binding energy of ) is lower than that of fluopyram (-38.38 kcal / mol)-1 In addition, compound I-17 (-43.26 kcal / mol) -1 ) and compound I-21 (-45.14 kcal / mol) -1 The binding energy of [a specific substance] is significantly better than that of fluopyram. For example... Figure 3 As shown in (E, F, G, H), the tested compounds form different interactions with the amino acid residues at their binding sites, thus stabilizing the binding mode. Similarly, the amide bonds of both compounds and fluopyram undergo tautomerism, and the nitrogen atom of the amide bond in both compounds forms a hydrogen bond with residue 173 of tryptophan (Trp); the fluorine atom of the trifluoromethyl group in both compounds forms a hydrogen bond with residue 39 of serine (Ser), while in fluopyram, the fluorine atom of the difluoromethyl group forms a hydrogen bond with residue 39 of serine; furthermore, the pyrazole ring in all four compounds forms a p-π interaction with residue 43 of arginine (Arg). In contrast, the fluorine atom of the trifluoromethyl group in compounds I-17 and I-21 each forms two hydrogen bonds with residue 39 of serine (Ser). Additionally, in the structure of compound I-21, the fluorine atom at position 4 of the pyrazole group also forms a hydrogen bond with residue 39 of serine (Ser). This may explain why compound I-21 exhibits significantly better binding energy and antibacterial activity than compounds I-17 and I-12. The benzene ring of fluopyram forms a pi-pi interaction with residue 173 of tryptophan (Trp) and residue 58 of tyrosine (Tyr), respectively, and also forms a hydrogen bond with residue 43 of arginine (Arg). In general, compounds I-12, I-17, and I-21 share some similar binding modes with fluopyram, but compound I-21 shows better binding to SDH.

The above results fully demonstrate that the antifungal mechanism of compound I-21 may be through inhibiting the activity of SDH, thereby inhibiting the normal growth of fungi. This provides a direction for further research on the antifungal activity of different compounds and lays the foundation for the preparation of fungicides with pyrazole amide derivatives as the main antifungal active ingredients.
