Abstract:
Twenty-four
β-amino alcohol derivatives of sclareol were synthesized and evaluated for their
in vitro antifungal activity using the mycelia growth inhibitory rate method. The structure-activity relationship indicated that the nature and position of the substituent on the phenyl ring had an effect on the activity. Generally, the result showed that the
m-substituted isomers exhibited better activity than their corresponding
o/p-substituted isomers. Compared with the other derivatives, compounds
2a-2c containing fluoro group proved to have excellent fungicidal activities against
Fusarium graminearum with EC
50 values of 3.79, 3.35, and 4.66 μg/mL, respectively.
