Abstract
Twenty arylsulfonamide derivatives containing 2-arylamino-4(3H)-quinazolinone were synthesized and evaluated for their bioactivities. 4-Fluoro-N-(2-(4-oxo-2-(4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)amino)quinazolin-3(4H)-yl)ethyl benzenesulfonamide, showed excellent activity both against Ralstonia solanacearum and Gibberella zeae with the inhibition rates of 100% (200 mg/L) and 95% (100 mg/L), and 69% (50 mg/L), respectively, exceeding that of the assigned commercial bactericide (thiodiazole-copper) and fungicide (hymexazol). The preliminary structure activity relationships (SAR) showed that both benzene rings of arylamino and arylsulfonamido moieties containing electron-withdrawing substitutes may be preferable for improving the bioactivity of target compounds.
