Aiming to develop novel candidates of agricultural fungicides, the 3-(phenylamino)quinazolin-4(3H)-one emerging as a known antifungal skeleton was modified by assimilating a pyrazole fragment to construct nineteen novel pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-one derivatives bearing an aniline group. After structural confirmations, the obtained pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-one derivatives were evaluated for their antifungal activities against Fusarium graminearum, Rhizoctonia solani, Botrytis cinerea and Alternaria solani. The above antifungal bioassays indicated that some pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-one derivatives bearing a bulky electronegative unit at the ortho-position of an aniline scaffold could exhibit the conspicuous antifungal effect against F. graminearum. Among them, the anti-F. graminearum EC50 value of a target compound 5m was measured as 5.61 μg/mL, which is distinctly superior to that of hymexazol (56.19 μg/mL). The above results provided a necessary replenishment for discovering novel antifungal leads owing the development prospect on effectively controlling Fusarium head blight.
