Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pesticide chemistry, specifically relating to an NADH enzyme inhibitor compound, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] NADH fungicides are a class of pesticides that exert their bactericidal effect by inhibiting the activity of NADH dehydrogenase in the mitochondrial respiratory chain of pathogens. These fungicides disrupt the NAD⁺ / NADH homeostasis by blocking the electron transport chain, inhibiting the energy metabolism of pathogens, and ultimately leading to their death.

[0003] Currently, there are few reports on novel fungicides targeting NADH dehydrogenase in the market, and even fewer domestically developed novel fungicides targeting NADH dehydrogenase. Among the reported products are a novel broad-spectrum fungicide targeting NADH dehydrogenase developed by Northwest A&F University, and natural product-derived fungicides such as carabrone. These products exhibit good protective and curative activity against wheat take-all, powdery mildew, and gray mold.

[0004] Therefore, researching and developing NADH fungicides that are environmentally friendly, highly safe, and less likely to induce resistance is an important direction for green pesticides. Summary of the Invention
