RT journal article T1 Synthesis of Farnesyloxy- and Drimanyloxy-Arene Scaffold-Based Hybrid Molecules as Antifungals against Botrytis cinerea A1 Ruano González, Antonio A1 Pinto, Ana Andreina A1 Mancilla, Gabriela A1 Sánchez Maestre, Rosario A1 Aleu, Josefina A1 Hernández Galán, Rosario A1 Macías Sánchez, Antonio José A1 González Collado, Isidro A2 Ciencia de los Materiales e Ingeniería Metalúrgica y Química Inorgánica A2 Química Orgánica K1 Botrytis cinerea K1 phytopathogenic fung K1 antifungal K1 hybrid molecules K1 farnesyloxyarenes K1 drimanyloxyarenes AB There is an increasing interest in the use of biopesticides, which implies the use of living microorganisms, plant andmicrobial extracts, and natural products isolated from the above-mentioned sources or closely related derivatives. In this regard, 10farnesyloxy-arenes derivatives (21−25, (±)-26−(±)-30) and 12 drimanyloxyarenes derivatives ((±)-12−(±)-14, (±)-31−(±)-40)were synthesized and tested against the phytopathogenic fungus Botrytis cinerea. In general, the drimanyloxyarenes derivatives weremore fungitoxic than their farnesyloxyarene precursors. The most active compounds were (±)-12, (±)-31, and (±)-35, which at a391 × 10−5 mg/mL dose, were more active than azoxystrobin, while (±)-12 presented an inhibition comparable to that of triclosan.Structure−activity relationships are discussed, as well as the correlation with calculated physicochemical properties such as logP andtotal polar surface area.
