Design, Synthesis, and Antibacterial Evaluation of Novel Isoindolin-1-ones Derivatives Containing Piperidine Fragments.

Abstract

A series of novel isoindoline-1-one derivatives containing piperidine moiety were designed and synthesized using natural compounds as raw materials, and their biological activities were tested for three bacterial and three fungal pathogens. These derivatives exhibited good against phytopathogenic bacteria activities against Pseudomonas syringae pv actinidiae (Psa) and Xanthomonas axonopodis pv.citri (Xac). Some compounds exhibited excellent antibacterial activities against Xanthomonas oryzae pv oryzae (Xoo). The dose of Y8 against Xoo (the maximum half lethal effective concentration (EC50) = 21.3 μg/mL) was better than that of the thiediazole copper dose (EC50 = 53.3 μg/mL). Excitingly, further studies have shown that the molecular docking of Y8 with 2FBW indicates that it can fully locate the interior of the binding pocket through hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions, thereby enhancing its anti-Xoo activity. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies revealed that Y8 induced the Xoo cell membrane collapse. Moreover, the proteomic results also indicate that Y8 may be a multifunctional candidate as it affects the formation of bacterial Xoo biofilms, thereby exerting antibacterial effects.
