1,2,3-triazolium-functionalized starch derivative was obtained by straightforward quaternization of the synthesized starch derivative bearing 1,2,3-triazole with benzyl bromide by combining the robust attributes of cuprous-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition. These novel starch derivatives were characterized by FTIR, UV–vis, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and elemental analysis. Their antifungal activities against Colletotrichum lagenarium, Watermelon fusarium, and Phomopsis asparagi were investigated by hypha measurement in vitro. The fungicidal assessment revealed that compared with starch and starch derivative bearing 1,2,3-triazole with inhibitory indices of below 15% at 1.0mg/mL, 1,2,3-triazolium-functionalized starch derivative had superior antifungal activity with inhibitory rates of over 60%. Especially, the best inhibitory index of 1,2,3-triazolium-functionalized starch derivative against Colletotrichum lagenarium attained 90% above at 1.0mg/mL. The results obviously showed that quaternization of 1,2,3-triazole with benzyl bromide could effectively enhance antifungal activity of the synthesized starch derivatives. The synthetic strategy described here could be utilized for the development of starch as novel antifungal biomaterial.
