Design, Synthesis, Antibacterial Activity Evaluation, and Mechanism of Action Study of Novel Sulfonamide-Containing
Abstract:
Pesticide resistance in plant bacterial pathogens necessitates new antibiotic alternatives. Herein, novel sulfonamide-containing phosphonate compounds were synthesized, with their antibacterial activity and mechanism systematically investigated. Bioassays showed that compound A2 exhibited the strongest activity against Xanthomonas oryzae pv oryzae (Xoo), with an EC50 of 9.9 μg/mL. Mechanistic studies revealed that A2 disrupts bacterial cell membrane integrity (via SEM and EC measurements), enhances host resistance by upregulating catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities, and dysregulates proteins involved in streptomycin biosynthesis, purine metabolism, and ribosomal pathways, thereby inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis and inducing cell death. These findings highlight sulfonamide-containing phosphonates as promising antibacterial agents against plant bacterial diseases.

Succinylcholine is the most commonly used depolarizing blocker. Chemically, it constitutes two molecules of acetylcholine joined together by an acetate methyl group. They act on the receptors in the same way as acetylcholine. Because...

Local anesthetics are amphiphilic molecules consisting of a hydrophobic aromatic part linked to a hydrophilic group by an ester or amide linkage. They are weak bases and are usually available as salts, which increases their solubility and stability. Once administered, LAs exist in the body either...

Reversible inhibitors like edrophonium bind to a specific part of the enzyme called the anionic catalytic site. They form noncovalent bonds, which means they are not strongly attached to the enzyme. This creates a temporary and less stable enzyme–inhibitor complex,...
