Medium relevanceAntifungal Activity against Botrytis cinerea of 2,6-Dimethoxy-4-(phenylimino)cyclohexa-2,5-dienone Derivatives.
Trametes versicolor
Key points
- In this work the enzyme laccase from Trametes versicolor was used to synthetize 2,6-dimethoxy-4-(phenylimino)cyclohexa-2,5-dienone derivatives
- Ten products with different substitutions in the aromatic ring were synthetized and characterized using ¹H- and 13 C-NMR and mass spectrometry
- The 3,5-dichlorinated compound showed highest antifungal activity against the phytopathogen Botrytis cinerea, while the p -methoxylated compound had the lowest activity; however, the antifungal activity of the products was higher than the activity of the substrates of the reactions
- Finally, the results suggested that these compounds produced damage in the fungal cell wall
