Phenazine-1-carboxylic acid (PCA) is a natural product that has been proven effective against a number of soil-borne fungal phytopathogens and registered for biofungicide against rice sheath blight in China. In order to improve the phloem mobility of phenazine-1-carboxylic acid (PCA), four PCA derivatives were designed and synthesized by conjugating PCA with l-alanine methyl ester, d-alanine methyl ester, l-alanine and d-alanine respectively. In vitro and planta bioassays results showed that conjugates L-PAM and D-PAM exhibited higher fungicidal activities against Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn than PCA while L-PA and D-PA were less active than PCA. The concentration of conjugates in Ricinus communis phloem sap was determined by HPLC. The results showed that only L-PA exhibited phloem mobility among these conjugates, and its concentration in Ricinus communis phloem sap increased with the increase of time (the maximum concentration was 12.69 μM within 5 h). However, the results of pot experiments showed that L-PA and other conjugates didn't exhibited the inhibition for the growth of Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn in the lower leaves after treatment in the upper leaves of rice seedlings. This may be due to the poor plant absorbility for them or their too little amount of accumulation in the lower leaves.
