Developing new fungicides is always crucial to protecting crops. A series of 4-(3,4-dichloroisothiazol-5-yl)-7-(2-((5-(5-pyrimidin-4-yl)amino)ethoxy)-8-methyl) coumarin derivatives were designed and synthesized by Williamson ether condensation and substitution reactions. Structure determinations were clarified by H NMR, C NMR, and HRMS, and compound crystallized by the fusion method for further structural confirmation. The in vitro bioassay results showed that the target compounds displayed good fungicidal activity against , , , , , and . Among them, compounds and showed higher inhibitory activity against , with EC values of 11.3 and 13.7 μg/mL, respectively, and they were more active than the positive control diflumetorim with an EC value of 19.8 μg/mL. Molecular docking suggested that compound and diflumetorim may have similar interactions with complex I NADH oxidoreductase. Density functional theory calculation and pesticide-likeness analysis studies gave a rational explanation of their fungicidal activity. These results indicated that compounds and deserved further optimization according to the principle of pesticide-likeness.

This study explores the effectiveness of various antifungal drugs in treating sporotrichosis caused by Sporothrix schenckii, especially in non-wild-type (non-WT) strains. The drugs tested include enilconazole (ENIL), isavuconazole (ISA), posaconazole (POS), terbinafine (TER), and itraconazole (ITC). The study involved in vitro and in vivo tests on 10 WT isolates and eight ITC non-WT isolates.

Conventional light-driven antimicrobial strategies of zinc oxide (ZnO) are limited by inadequate illumination in dark environments. In this study, carboxylated cellulose nanocrystals (MCNC) mediated flower-like ZnO (C@Z) with self-promoted reactive oxygen species release under dark is fabricated. The adsorption of Zn ions on MCNC prompts the growth of ZnO along the (002) crystal plane, forming a flower-like hybrid with superior dispersibility and oxygen vacancies compared to MCNC-free ZnO, which exposes the (100) plane.

A series of novel triazone derivatives containing aldehyde hydrazone or ketone hydrazone moieties were designed, synthesized and their biological activities were investigated against , , , , and 14 Kinds of fungi. Most of the aldehyde hydrazone exhibited excellent insecticidal activities against . In particular, the aphicidal activities of compounds (35%) and (30%) were equivalent to pymetrozine (30%) at 5 mg/kg.
