Design and synthesis of chitin synthase inhibitors as potent fungicides

Chitin is a structural component of fungal cell walls but is absent in vertebrates, mammals, and humans. Chitin synthase is thus an attractive molecular target for developing fungicides. Based on the structure of its donor substrate, UDP-N-acetyl-glucosamine, as well as the modelled structure of the bacterial chitin synthase NodC, we designed a novel scaffold which was then further optimized into a series of chitin synthase inhibitors. The most potent inhibitor, compound 13, exhibited high chitin synthase inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 64.5?μmol/L. All of the inhibitors exhibited antifungal activities against the growth of agriculturally-destructive fungi, Fusarium graminearum, Botrytis cinerea, and Colletotrichum lagenarium. This work presents a new scaffold which can be used for the development of novel fungicides.

COMPOUNDS FOR THE CONTROLLED RELEASE OF ACTIVE ALDEHYDES

The present invention relates to the field of perfumery. More particularly, it concerns an aldoxane derivative of Formula (I) capable of protecting an active aldehyde R1CHO, for example a perfumery or flavor aldehyde, from a chemically aggressive medium into which they have to be added, and then of releasing said active aldehyde at the desired moment. The present invention concerns also the use of said compound in perfumery or in the flavor industry as well as the compositions or articles associated with said aldoxanes.
