기질 화합물로 2-N-benzyl-5-phenoxy-3-isothiazolone 유도체를 합성하고 그들의 반응성과 metalaxyl 살균제에 저항성(RPC)과 감수성(SPC)을 나타내는 고추역병균(Phytophthora capsici)들에 대한 살균활성에 미치는 5-치환-phenoxy기의 영향을 검토하였다. 그 결과, 비치환 기질 화합물은 궤도-조절 반응성이 우세하였고 특히, 4-fluoro-치환체 6은 RPC에 그리고 4-nitro-치환체 3은 SPC에 대하여 뚜렷한 선택성을 보였다. RPC에 대한 살균활성은 HOMO 에너지의 적정값(-9.2137 e.v.)에 그리고 SPC는 MR상수의 적정값($7.37cm^3/mol.$)에 주로 의존적이었다. 그리고 Free-Wilson 분석 결과 SPC에는 모든 치환체가 살균활성에 기여하였으나 RPC의 경우에는 methoxy와 bromo-기만이 기여하는 경향이었다.
A series of new 2-N-benzyl-5-phenoxy-3-isothiazolone derivatives were synthesized and their in vitro antifungal activities against resistant Phytophthora capsici (RPC) & sensitive Phytophthora capsici (SPC) with metalaxyl fungicide have been measured. In addition, influence of substituted 5-phenoxy group on the -antifungal activities ($pI_{50}$) and the reactivity of substrates were investigated. From the results, reactivity of none substituted substrate showed tendency displaying orbital-controlled reaction. The substituents on the 5-phenoxy ring showed selective fungicidal activity between SPC and RPC. Especially, the 4-fluoro substituent, 6 in the RPC and 4-nitro substituent, 3 in SPC exhibited strongly selective antifungal activity among them. The activities on the SPC would depend largely on the optimal molar refractivity ($MR_{(opt.)}=7.37cm^3/mol$) whereas the activities on the RPC would depend largely on the optimal highest occupied molecular orbital energy ($HOMO_{(opt.)}=-9.2137e.v.$) and weak electron donating (${sigma}<0$) group. And Free-Wilson analyses revealed that the antifungal activity against RPC depends on the methoxy and bromo-substituent and all of the substituents contribute to antifungal activities against SPC.
