To develop novel succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHIs), two series of novel N-4-fluoro-pyrazol-5-yl-benzamide and N-4-chloro-pyrazol-5-yl-benzamide derivatives were designed and synthesized, and their antifungal activities were evaluated against Valsa mali, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, , Physalospora piricola, and Botrytis cinerea. The bioassay results showed that some of the target compounds exhibited good antifungal activities in vitro against V. mali and S. sclerotiorum. Remarkably, compound 9Ip displayed good in vitro activity against V. mali with an EC50 value of 0.58 mg/L. This outcome was 21-fold greater than that of fluxapyroxad (12.45 mg/L) and close to that of the commercial fungicide tebuconazole (EC50 = 0.36 mg/L). In addition, in vivo experiments proved that compound 9Ip has good protective fungicidal activity with an inhibitory rate of 93.2% against V. mali at 50 mg/L, which was equivalent to that of the positive control tebuconazole (95.5%). The results of molecular docking indicated that there were obvious hydrogen bonds and p-π interactions between compound 9Ip and succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), which could explain the probable action mechanism. In addition, the SDH enzymatic inhibition assay was carried out to further prove its mode of action. Our studies suggest that compound 9Ip could be a fungicidal lead to discover more potent SDHIs for crop protection.
