Popis: The escalating demand for crop production, environmental protection, and food safety warrants the development of new fungicides with greater efficiency, environmental friendliness, and innocuous metabolites to fight against destructive phytopathogens. Herein, we report on the synthesis and antifungal activity of dipeptide-based stilbene derivatives bearing a thiophene-substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole fragment for the first time. In vitro bioassay indicated that the target compounds had remarkable antifungal potency superior to previously reported counterparts without a dipeptidyl group, of which compound 3c exhibited the highest activity against Botrytis cinerea with EC50 values of 106.1 μg/mL. Moreover, the in vivo protective effect of compound 3c (59.1%) against tomato gray mold was more potent than that of carboxin (42.0%). Preliminary investigations on the mode of action showed that compound 3c induced marked hyphal malformations and increased the membrane permeability of B. cinerea as well as inhibiting mycelial respiration. These promising results suggest that this novel type of molecular framework has great potential to be further developed as alternative fungicides.
