Target identification is one of the most important bases for novel pesticide development; pyruvate kinase (PK) was discovered as a potent fungicide target in our previous studies. To continue the PK-based fungicide development, novel isothiazole-purine derivatives were rationally designed and synthesized. Bioassay results showed that compound 5ai displayed excellent in vitro activity against Rhizoctonia solani with an EC₅₀ of 1.5 μg/mL, which was superior to those of positive controls diflumetorim with its EC₅₀ of 19.8 μg/mL and PK-based lead YZK-C22 with its EC₅₀ of 4.2 μg/mL. Compounds 3b (5.2 μg/mL) and 3c (4.5 μg/mL) displayed better activities against Gibberella zeae with their EC₅₀s falling between 4.0 and 5.5 μg/mL, while YZK-C22 showed an EC₅₀ of 6.4 μg/mL. In addition, 5ah exhibited promising in vivo activity against Erysiphe graminis and Puccinia sorghi Schw. with 100% efficacy at 10 μg/mL and 90% efficacy at 2 μg/mL against P. sorghi Schw. Compound 5ai showed good PK inhibitory activity with an IC₅₀ of 38.8 μmol/L, and it was well docked into the active site of the target enzyme PK, which was slightly more active than YZK-C22 with its IC₅₀ of 42.4 μmol/L. Our studies discovered that isothiazole-purines were PK-based fungicidal leads deserving of further study.
