Synthesis of Anthranilic Diamide Derivatives Containing Moieties of Trifluoromethyl Pyridine and Hydrazone as Potential Anti-Viral Agents for Plants.

A series of novel anthranilic diamide derivatives (5a-5ab) containing moieties of trifluoromethyl pyridine and hydrazone was designed and synthesized. The synthesized compounds were evaluated in vivo for their activities against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and cucumber mosaic virus (CMV). Most of synthesized compounds displayed good to excellent anti-viral activities. The compounds 5i, 5k, 5s, 5w, 5x, and 5z had the curative activity over 65% against TMV at concentration of 500 μg/mL, which were significantly higher than those of ningnanmycin (55.0%) and ribavirin (37.9%). Notably, the curative activity of compound 5i was up to 79.5%, with the EC50 value of 75.9 μg/mL, whereas the EC50 value of ningnanmycin was 362.4 μg/mL. The pots experiments also further demonstrated the significantly curative effect of 5i. Meanwhile, compounds 5h, 5p and 5x displayed more protective activities on TMV than that of ningnanmycin. Moreover, compounds 5a, 5e, 5f, and 5i showed inactivation activity similar to ningnanmycin at 500 μg/mL, and the EC50 value of 5e (41.5 μg/mL) was lower than ningnanmycin (50.0 μg/mL). The findings of transmission electron microscopic (TEM) indicated that the synthesized compounds exhibited strong and significant binding affinity to TMV coat protein (CP) and could obstruct the self-assembly and increment of TMV particles. Microscale thermophoresis (MST) studies on TMV-CP and CMV CP revealed that some of the active compounds, particularly 5i, exhibited a strong binding capability to TMV-CP or CMV-CP. This study revealed that anthranilic diamide derivatives containing moieties of trifluoromethyl pyridine and hydrazone could be used as novel anti-viral agents for controlling the plant viruses.
