Abstract

:
A series of novel thioether derivatives containing 1,2,4-triazole moiety were designed and synthesized from 4-chlorophenol and ethyl 2-chloroacetate as starting materials by multi-step reactions under microwave irradiation, and their structures were characterized by 1H-NMR, MS and elemental analysis. The antifungal activity of title compounds was determined. The results indicated that some of title compounds exhibited moderate antifungal activity.

1. Introduction

In recent years, heterocycles had been attracted in medicinal or pesticidal importance due to its wide and spectrum activity [1,2,3,4,5,6]. The 1,2,4-triazole compounds represent an important nitro-containing heterocycles with extensively bioactivities [7,8,9,10], such as anti-inflammatory activity [11], anticancer activity [12], anti-oxidation activity [13,14], herbicidal activity [15],antifungal activity [16,17], antiurease activity [18], antidepressant activity [19] and so on. Moreover, 1,2,4-triazole substructure was found in many commercial pesticide or drugs, especially in antifungal medicines (Figure 1). It is an important research field for developing novel 1,2,4-triazole derivatives. Meanwhile, the phenoxy nucleus is key fragment in many herbicides [20]. For example, it is reported that 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetylhydrazines exhibited excellent antifungal or herbicidal activity.

On the other hand, 1,2,4-triazole-thiones are useful intermediates in the field of drug design and discovery. According the rule of bioisostere, when the oxygen atom was replaced by sulfur atom, the biological activity will be improved. So far, many bioactive 1,2,4-triazole-thioether or 1,2,4-triazole-thione derivatives have been reported. For example, Polucci and co-authors synthesized a series of alkylsulfanyl-1,2,4-triazoles, which exhibited excellent anticancer activity [21]. Another interesting reference reported that a series of 1,2,4-triazole-thioether derivatives containing benzothiazinone and benzooxazinone moiety displayed excellent activity as non-glucoside SGLT2 inhibitors [22]. Also, we had synthesized some interesting 1,2,4-triazole-thioether derivatives containing 1,2,3-thiadiazole [23] or pyridine [24] moiety, and these compounds possessed good antifungal activity. Kochikyan and co-workers [25] reported the synthesis method about 1,2,4-triazole-3-thiols and their S-substituted derivatives.
Microwave-assisted technique is a green method in current organic synthesis [26,27,28]. It is attractive offering reduced pollution, low cost and high yields. The method can often shorten the reaction time. In recent years, many references had been reported this method. For example, MW-assisted synthesis heterocycles have been conducted successfully earlier [29,30].
In view of all these facts and as continuation of our research on bioactive compounds [31,32,33], herein a series of novel thioether derivatives containing 1,2,4-triazole moiety were synthesized under microwave irradiation. The antifungal activity of title compounds was tested.

2. Results and Discussion

2.1. Synthesis

The ethyl 2-(4-chlorophenoxy)acetate was obtained from 4-chlorophenol and ethyl 2-chloroacetate catalyzed by KI at reflux condition. The KI was used as catalyst in order to increase the yield of ethyl 2-(4-chlorophenoxy)acetate. The ethyl 2-(4-chlorophenoxy)acetate reacted with 85% hydrazine hydrate to give 2-(4-chlorophenoxy)acetohydrazide at refluxing condition. Then the 2-(4-chlorophenoxy)acetohydrazide reacted with isothiocyanatobenzene. Then 2-(2-(4-chlorophenoxy)acetyl) -N-phenylhydrazinecarbothioamide was collected easily by filtered. The key intermediate 5-((4-chlorophenoxy)methyl)-4-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol was cyclized under alkaline condition, such as NaOH, then the concentrate HCl was added to this solution. The key intermediatethiol is reacted with substituted benzyl chloride or alkylchloride to afford title compounds. The microwave-assisted synthesis and conventional method was also employed in this experiment. NaOH/DMF/H2O system was applied under microwave irradiation. The best reaction condition is at 90 °C for 15 min under microwave irradiation synthesis. Taking the compound 5b as example, we can see that the yield is higher than that of conventional method, also the reaction time is shorter from Table 1.

2.2. Antifungal Activities

The in vivo fungicidal results of title compounds against Pythium ultimum Trow, Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary, Corynespora cassiicola, Botrytis cinerea and Rhizoctonia solani were listed in Table 2, Zhongshengmycin, Dimethomorph, Procymidone, Chlorothalonil and Validamycin were used as controls. As shown in Table 2, some of the title compoundsshowed good control efficacy against Pythium ultimum Trow at a concentration of 100 μg/mL, such as compound 5a (66.7%), 5b (55.6%), 5h (55.6%) and 5i (55.6%), which is better than that of control. While some of them exhibited low activity against Pythium ultimum Trow. For example, compound 5c (−88.9%), 5d (−111.1%), 5e (−55.6%), 5j (−33.3%), 5k (−122.2%) held no inhibitory against Pythium ultimum Trow. On the opposite, these compounds can increase the fungal growth. For this fungal Pythium ultimum Trow, the control Zhongshengmycin also cannot inhibit it. For the fungal Corynespora cassiicola, the compound 5c (46.2%), 5d (46.2%), 5e (61.3%) and 5f (50.9%) displayed excellent inhibition respectively. They exhibited the same inhibitory as that of the controlchlorothalonil (45.9%).All the title compounds exhibited no inhibition effect against Rhizoctonia solani and Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary. Only compound 5a (3.9%), 5c (6.7%) and 5k (10.6%) displayed weak inhibitory against Rhizoctonia solani. The control procymidone also exhibited no activity against Rhizoctonia solani. Surprisingly, most of these compounds showed stimulate growth activity against Botrytis cinerea, except compound 5c (23.8%), 5d (19.9%) and 5e (19.9%).

3.3. Antifungal Activity

Antifungal activity of compounds 5a5k against Pythium ultimum Trow, Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary, Corynespora cassiicola, Botrytis cinerea and Rhizoctonia solani were evaluated according to reference [3]. A potted plant test method was adopted. Germination was conducted by soaking cucumber seeds in water for 2 h at 50 °C and then keeping the seeds moist for 24 h at 28 °C in an incubator. When the radicles were 0.5 cm, the seeds were grown in plastic pots containing a 1:1 (v/v) mixture of vermiculite and peat. Cucumber plants used for inoculations were at the stage of two cotyledons, and tomato plants were five euphyllas. Tested compounds and commercial fungicides were sprayed with a hand sprayer on the surface of the leaves and on a fine morning, at the standard concentration of 100 μg/mL, and each plant was sprayed compounds and commercial fungicides 200 μL. Dimethomorph, Fludioxonil, Chlorothalonil, Validamycin, Zhongshengmycin were used as a control. After 2 h, inoculations of Phytophthora infestans, Corynespora cassiicola and Botrytis cinerea were carried out by spraying fungal spore suspension with 1 × 104 spore/mL, inoculation of Rhizoctonia solani and Pythium ultimum were carried out by spraying mycelial suspension of 2 × 104 CFU/mL, which was smashed with IKA T10 basic ULTRA-TURRAX® (Guangzhou, China). Each kind of inoculum was sprayed 300 μL/plant. Each treatment was replicated 4 times. After inoculation, the plants were maintained at 18–30 °C (mean temperature of 24 °C and above 80% relative humidity (RH)). The antifungal activity were evaluated when the nontreated plant (blank) fully developed symptoms. The area of inoculated treated leaves covered by disease symptoms was assessed and compared to that of nontreated ones to determine the average disease index. The relative control efficacy of compounds compared to the blank assay was calculated via the following equation:
relative control efficacy (%) = (CK − PT)/CK × 100%
where CK is the average disease index during the blank assay and PT is the average disease index after treatment during testing. All experiments were replicated three times.

4. Conclusions

Some interesting thioether derivatives containing 1,2,4-triazole moiety were designed and synthesized. Their structures were confirmed by NMR, MS and elemental analysis. The primarily antifungal activities showed that some of them exhibited excellent antifungal activities.
