| Popis: | This work deals with the synthesis and evaluation of fungicidal activity of benzimidazole derivatives, which are structural analogues of commercial anti-tubulin fungicides. A number of N-acyl and N-thioacyl derivatives of 2-amino-1H-benzo[d]imidazole were prepared, and their fungicidal activity against 13 strains of phytopathogenic fungi was studied. The most active compounds against the majority of the studied strains were 3a, 4l, and 4o, and the EC50 values of these compounds were in the range 2.5-20 μg/mL. Compound 3a showed the highest activity against the P. infestans strain, the growth of which is not suppressed by carbendazim. The formation of ligand-receptor complexes of various tautomeric forms of the studied benzimidazoles with homologous models of β-tubulins of B. cinerea, F. oxysporum, and P. infestans was modeled. Induced fit docking has been used for the simulation. The obtained data suggest the possibility of binding of benzimidazole fungicides to β-tubulin in the ″nocodazole cavity″ in the tautomeric form bearing a double exocyclic C═N bond. The importance of the formation of hydrogen bonds of benzimidazoles with the amino acid residue Val236 along with the Glu198 residue is also revealed in the present study. |
