Plant diseases caused by pathogenic fungi seriously affect the yield and quality of crops, cause huge economic losses, and pose a considerable threat to global food security. Phenylpyrrole analogues were designed and synthesized based on alkaloid lycogalic acid. All target compounds were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and HRMS. Their antifungal activities against seven kinds of phytopathogenic fungi were evaluated. The results revealed that most compounds had broad-spectrum fungicidal activities at 50 &mu:g/mL: 14 compounds displayed more than 60% fungicidal activities against Rhizoctonia cerealis and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, and in particular, the fungicidal activities of compounds 8g and 8h against Rhizoctonia cerealis were more than 90%, which could be further developed as lead agents for water-soluble fungicides. The molecular docking results indicate that compounds 8g and 8h can interact with 14&alpha:-demethylase (RcCYP51) through hydrogen bonding with strong affinity.
