Design, synthesis, and evaluation of antifungal and antibacterial activities of novel quinazolinone-formononetin derivatives.

BACKGROUND Plant pathogenic fungi and bacteria cause substantial losses in agricultural production worldwide, and escalating resistance to conventional agrochemicals necessitates the development of novel, environmentally benign pesticides. Formononetin, a naturally occurring isoflavone, exhibits promising bioactivities...

Acylpiperidine Formononetin Derivatives as Antimicrobial Lead Compounds: Activity and Preliminary Mode-of-Action Studies

Global agricultural production relies heavily on chemical pesticides, leading to resistance, residues, and pollution, threatening sustainable agriculture. There is an urgent need to develop novel antimicrobial agents from low-toxicity, easily degradable natural products. Using formononetin as a lead compound, acylpip...
