Abstract
Ten arylazomorpholines were prepared and characterized. Their fungicidal activity against Fusarium oxysporum, Rhizoctonia solani, Macrophomina phasoli, Helminthosporum sp. and Trichoderma harzianum and antibacterial effects against Erwinia amylovora were examined. Derivatives with persuasive in vitro antifungal effects, were checked in vivo on polyphenoloxidase, peroxidase DNA, RNA and sugar contents of Rhizoctonia solani as biomarkers searching their main target. 4-(4-Chlorophenyl)-, 4-(3-chlorophenyl)-, 4-(2-chlorophenyl)- and 4-(4-hydroxy-3,5-dichlorophenyl)azomorpholines highly inhibited all the tested fungi comparing with the standard fungicide metalaxyl. 4-(4-Chlorophenyl)azomorpholine and 4-(2-chlorophenyl)azomorpholine were more effective than metalaxyl inhibiting the hyphal growth of R. solani in liquid media. 4-(Phenyl)azomorpholine and 4-(3-chlorophenyl)azomorpholine completely stopped E. amylovora growth with MIC 4 × 10-5 M similar to streptomycin. 4-(4-Chlorophenyl)azomorpholine and 4-(4-hydroxy-3,5-dichlorophenyl)azomorpholine stimulated polyphenoloxidase and peroxidase. The tested arylazomorpholine derivatives were not specific against DNA and RNA contents. 4-(4-Chlorophenyl)-azomorpholine proved to be more potent than metalaxyl in reducing total soluble sugars and reduced sugars, whereas metalaxyl was near to it on non-reducing sugars.
