Abstract
A series of [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine derivatives bearing a sulfide substructure was designed, synthesized and characterized via 1H·NMR, 13C·NMR, IR and elemental analyses. Bioassay Results indicated some of the derivatives displayed good fungicidal activity on Rhizoctonia cerealis, moderated insecticidal activity against Plutella xylostella and good insecticidal activity on Helicoverpa armigera. The inhibitory effects of compounds 4g and 4u against Rhizotonia cerealis were 70.9% at 50 μg mL−1; the IC50 values of compounds 4d and 4s against Plutella xylostella were 43.87 and 50.75 μg mL−1, respectively. And the IC50 values of compounds 4d, 4q, and 4s on Helicoverpa armigera were 58.3, 77.14 and 65.31 μg mL−1, respectively, which were better than that of commercial chlorpyrifos (103.77 μg mL−1).

Introduction
The triazolopyridine is an important class of fused heterocyclic compound that possesses broad spectrum of biological activities (Bell et al. 2012; Ferguson et al. 2016; Jerome et al. 2010; McClure et al. 2005; Tresadern et al. 2014; Zhang et al. 2015; Mu et al. 2015). As an integral part of triazolopyridines, [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridines attracted more attentions due to their broad spectrum of biological activities (Liu et al. 2014, 2015; Schmidt and Qian 2013; Shen et al. 2016; Vadagaonkar et al. 2014; Wang et al. 2016), such as herbicidal activity (Liu et al. 2015), antifungal activity (Shen et al. 2016; Wang et al. 2016; Yang et al. 2015; Zhai et al. 2016; Mu et al. 2016), anticonvulsant activity (Guan et al. 2012), and antibacterial activity (Prakash et al. 2011; Sadana et al. 2003), etc. In 2014, several new [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridines have been found to show excellent antifungal activities against Phyllosticta Pirina, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Rhizoctonia solanii, Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium nivale, Aspergillus fumigatus and Candida albicans (Liu et al. 2014), and more recently, [1,2,4] triazolo[4,3-a]pyridines containing a Schiff base were also found to show excellent antifungal activity (Shen et al. 2016).
Sulfide substructure is an important moiety and attracts more and more attentions in the development of pesticide in recent years. Many derivatives containing a sulfide substructure with good antifungal activity (Hua et al. 2016; Wang et al. 2016;) and good marketing perspective have been discovered (Xu et al. 2011), some of them containing both [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine and sulfide structures, simultaneously (Wang et al. 2016). And recently, Fan and co-workers reported anthranilic diamides containing a sulfide substructure showed good fungicidal activity (Hua et al. 2016). Moreover, many insecticidal molecules containing a sulfide substructure have also been identified (Chen et al. 2013; Ghorab et al. 1996; Hua et al. 2014, 2016; Shang et al. 2010; Wu et al. 2014). In our previous work (Wu et al. 2014), a series of 6,8-dichloro-quinazolines containing a sulfide substructure has been reported to display good insecticidal activity against Plutella xylostella.
Encouraged by those descriptions above, in continuation works on sulfide derivatives (Wu et al. 2014) and interesting in sulfides, we sought to carry out some [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine derivatives containing a sulfide substructure, which may result in new [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine derivatives with good biological activity. Accordingly, in this work, an attempt was made by linking the structures of [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine and aromatic rings via a sulfide bond, the synthetic route was shown in Scheme 1. Results of bioassays indicate that some of the synthesized [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine derivatives displayed good fungicidal activity on Rhizotonia cerealis. And some of them showed moderated to good insecticidal activity against both Plutella xylostella and Helicoverpa armigera.
Experimental
Materials
All reagents were purchased from Accela ChemBio Co., Ltd (Shanghai, China); The melting points of the newly synthesized compounds were tested on a WRX-4 monocular microscope (Shanghai Yice Apparatus & Equipment Co., Ltd, Shang Hai, China). The 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectra were recorded on a JEOL ECX 500 NMR spectrometer (JEOL Ltd., Tokyo, Japan), operating at 500 MHz for 1H-NMR and 125 MHz for 13C-NMR, and using CDCl3 as solvents; infrared spectra were analyzed in KBr pellets on a IR Pristige-21 spectrometer (Shimadzu corporation, Kyoto, Japan); elemental analysis was performed on an Elemental Vario-III CHN analyzer (Elementar, Hanau, German). The proceeding of the reaction was monitored by TLC.
All fungal strains species and insects were provided by the Yun-long Agricultural Science & Technology Co., Ltd (Wuhan, China), which were conserved and breed in our laboratory. The commercial chlorpyrifos and carbendazim were purchased from Guangxi Tianyuan Biochemistry Co., Ltd (Nanning, China) and used as comparisons.
Chemicals
Synthesis of intermediate 2: A mixture of 2,3-dichloropyridine (25.0 g), 80% hydrazine hydrate (12.69 g) was stirred in refluxing EtOH (40 mL), the reaction proceeding was monitored by TLC. After complication of the reaction, the resulting mixture was cooled to room temperature to get white needle crystal (20.76 g), yield, 85.59%, m.p.163–164 °C.
The procedures for the preparation of intermediate 2 (Mokrushina et al. 1977): 3-chloro-2-hydrazinylpyridine (12.0 g, 83.58 mmol) was reacted with carbon disulfide (7.64 g, 100 mmol) in the present of NaOH in ethanol at room temperature for 24 h, after complication of the reaction, the ethanol was evaporated, the residues were poured into 50 mL water, and acidized (pH = 4–5) to obtain intermediates 3 (10.31 g), yield, 66.5%, m.p. 298–299 °C.
General synthetic procedures for compounds 4a–4v: A mixture of intermediate 3 (1 mmol), halogenated hydrocarbon (1.1 mmol), and K2CO3 (0.5 mmol) in acetonitrile was stirred under reflux for 2 h and concentrated in vacuum. The residue was poured into 50 mL water, filtered and dried to obtain the [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine derivatives with a sulfide substructure. The properties and analytical data for the compounds are listed in Table 1, and the spectral data are shown in Table 2.
Bioassays
Antifungal biological assay: Compounds 4a–4v were evaluated for their antifungal activities against Rhizoctonia cerealis, Helminthosporium sativum, and Fusarium graminearum in vitro as described in literature (Wu et al. 2012b) at a concentration of 50 mg/L. All the synthesized compounds were dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (10 mL) and then mixed with potato dextrose agar (PDA, 90 mL). All fungal species were incubated in PDA at 27 ± 1 °C for 5 days to obtain new mycelium for antifungal assay; then mycelia dishes were cut from the culture medium in approximately 4 mm diameter. One of the specimens was picked up with a sterilized inoculation needle and then inoculated in the center of the PDA plate aseptically. The inoculated plates were incubated at 27 ± 1 °C for 5 days. DMSO in sterile distilled water served as the control, whereas carbendazim acted as the positive control. Three replicates were carried out for each treatment. The radial growth of the fungal colonies was measured on the sixth day and the data were statistically analyzed. The in vitro inhibiting effects of the test compounds on the fungi were calculated by the formula:
where C represents the diameter of fungal growth on untreated PDA, T represents the diameter of fungi on treated PDA, and I is the inhibitory rate.
Insecticidal bioassays against Plutella xylostella: Previously reported protocols (Wu et al. 2012a, 2014) were used to test insecticidal activities against Plutella xylostella. Fresh cabbage discs (diameter of 2 cm) were dipped in the prepared solutions containing compounds 4a–4v for 10 s, dried in air and placed in a Petri dish (diameter of 9 cm) lined with filter paper. Ten larvae of secondinstar of Plutella xylostella were carefully transferred to the Petri dishes. Chlorpyrifos was used as positive control; three replicates were performed for each experiment. Mortality was calculated after 72 h. Evaluations of mortality were calculated in a percentage scale (0 = no activity and 100 = complete eradication) at 5% intervals. The results are summarized in Table 4.
Insecticidal activity against Helicoverpa armigera: The insecticidal activities of compounds 4a–4v against Helicoverpa armigera were tested by the diet-incorporated method (Wu et al. 2012a). A quantity of 3 mL of prepared solutions containing the compounds was added to the forage (27 g), subsequently diluted to different concentrations and then placed in a 24-pore plate. One larva was placed in each of the wells on the plate. Mortalities were determined after 72–96 h, Evaluations were based on a percentage scale (0 = no activity and 100 = complete eradication) at 5% intervals and the results are given in Table 4.
Results and discussion
Synthesis
The synthetic protocols of the [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine derivatives bearing a sulfide are depicted in Scheme 1. Firstly, 3-chloro-2-hydrazinylpyridine, 2, was obtained in excelent yield (90%) by treatment of 2,3-dichloropyridine (1) with hydrazine hydrate (80%) in refluxing EtOH for 20 h. Subsequently, key intermediate 8-chloro-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine-3-thiol (3) was then synthesized by reacting 3 with CS2 in the present of base (NaOH) in EtOH under room temperature for 24 h and acidification with 5% HCl in good yield (Mokrushina et al. 1977). Finally, the title compounds 4a–4v were synthesized in good yields via reaction in the presence of potassium carbonate in acetonitrile by the treatment of intermediate 3 with different halogenated hydrocarbon.
The structures of 4a–4v were confirmed based on their spectroscopic data. The IR spectra showed absorption bands near 3052 cm−1 are the stretching vibrations of Ar–H. Absorption bands between 2940 and 2860 cm−1 belong to stretching vibrations of methylene (–CH2–); the absorption zones between 1420 and 1650 cm−1 correspond to the skeleton vibration of aromatic ring. In the 1H·NMR spectra, take compound 4s as an example, the proton at o-position of “N” was shown at δ H 8.08 ppm as a doublet and with coupling constant of 6.9 Hz, the proton adjacent the “Cl” was at δ H 7.41 ppm, and the coupling constant is 7.2 Hz; the proton at m-position of “Cl” resonance frequency is at δ H 7.41 ppm as a triplet and with “J = 7.1 Hz”. The main characteristic of the 1H NMR spectra for the compound was the presence of a singlet near δ H 4.4 ppm for –CH2–S– proton. In 13C NMR spectra of the “F” contained compounds, the carbons were split into multiplet, for instance, in the 13C NMR spectra of compound 4s, the carbon of “–CF3” resonance frequency is near δ C 155.59 ppm as a quartet, the coupling constant (1 J C-F ) was 44.8 Hz; and in 13C NMR spectra of two fluorines contained compounds (4k, 4l and 4m), the carbon resonance frequencies are near δ C 155-163 ppm as a doublet with coupling constant (1 J C–F ) 213–257 Hz.
Biological activity
The inhibitory effects of the [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine derivatives on Rhizoctonia cerealis, Helminthosporium sativum, and Fusarium graminearum were evaluated and summarized in Table 3. The results indicated that except for compounds 4s, the rest of compounds displayed weak to good antifungal activities against Rhizoctonia cerealis, which with inhibitory rates ranging from 20.5 to 70.9%. Particularly, both compounds 4g and 4u showed 70.9% inhibitory effects at 50 μg mL−1; and compounds 4b, 4f, 4k, 4l showed moderated activities on Rhizoctonia cerealis. As well as some of the synthesized compounds showed moderated inhibitory rates against Helminthosporium sativum, such as compounds 4b, 4g, 4k, and 4u showed >50% activities on Helminthosporium sativum, and the activity of 4u was 67.3%; Unfortunately, most of the [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine derivatives show no activity against Fusarium graminearum, only compounds 4g and 4u displayed certain activity. From these data it can be concluded that the antifungal activities could be decreased by introduction of pyridine and 1,3,4-oxadiazole (such as compounds 4d, 4s, and 4t). As well as the introductions of bromine were disfavored by antifungal activities (compounds 4n, 4q, and 4r). However, the introduction of trifluoromethyl (compounds 4i, 4j) and trifluoromethoxy (4h) can little improve the antifungal activity against both Rhizoctonia cerealis and Helminthosporium sativum, and the introduction of fluorine atom at benzene ring (compounds 4b, 4k, 4l and 4u) could enhance the antifungal activities. Moreover, the compound with a methyl (4g) also showed good antifungal activity. However, further structure–activity relationship (SAR) is not obvious due to limited active data and substituents on benzene.
Insecticidal activities against Plutella xylostella and Helicoverpa armigera of [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine derivatives were also evaluated. The results listed in Table 4 indicated that most of the title compounds showed weakly insecticidal activity against the two pests. However, some of the compounds displayed good insecticidal activities. For example, compounds 4d and 4s showed 100% activities at 500 μg mL−1 and >50% activities at 50 μg mL−1 against both Plutella xylostella and Helicoverpa armigera; the activities of compounds 4d and 4s against Helicoverpa armigera were better than these of chlorpyrifos at 200 μg mL−1; compound 4s showed 86.7% activity against Plutella xylostella at 200 μg mL−1. In addition, compounds 4p and 4q also showed good insecticidal activities, the mortalities of them against Plutella xylostella were 90 and 73.3%, respectively (500 μg mL−1), and when the concentration was 200 μg mL−1, the activity of 4p against Plutella xylostella still >60%; furthermore, the activities of compounds 4p and 4q against Helicoverpa armigera at 200 μg mL−1 were 60%. Moreover, compound 4g processed 55.6% and 46.6% activities on Plutella xylostella and Helicoverpa armigera at 500 μg mL−1, respectively. Preliminary SAR studies indicated these compounds containing a substituent at 4 position of benzene (e.g., compounds 4h, 4i, 4k, 4n, 4o, 4r, etc.) showed very low insecticidal activities, and the introduction of trifluoromethyl at 2 or 5 position of benzene (compounds 4j and 4u) could little increase their insecticidal activities, these compounds with 3-chloro-2-fluorobenzyl (4p) and 2-bromo-5-fluorobenzyl (4q) also showed good insecticidal activity, and interestingly, in contrast to the above antifungal activity, these compounds containing 6-chloropyridin-3-ylmethyl (4d) and (5-(trifluoromethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)methyl (4s) showed good insecticidal activities. The IC50 of compounds 4d, 4p, 4q, and 4s were further evaluated. The results listed in Table 5 indicated that these compounds showed good insecticidal activity against Plutella xylostella and Helicoverpa armigera. Especially, the IC50 values of 4d, 4q, and 4s on Helicoverpa armigera were much lower than that of chlorpyrifos, which indicated that the activities of these compounds on Helicoverpa armigera were better than that of chlorpyrifos.
Conclusions
In conclusion, a series of novel [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine derivatives with a sulfide substructure was synthesized and characterized by spectral data and elemental analyses. Results from bioassays indicated that the synthesized compounds showed good fungicidal activities and insecticidal activities. The antifungal activities of compounds 4g and 4u against Rhizoctonia cerealis were 70.9% at 50 μg mL−1 and were much better than these of the rest of the synthesized compounds; and some of the synthesized compounds (e.g.: 4d, 4q, and 4s) displayed good insecticidal activities against both Plutella xylostella and Helicoverpa armigera, the activities of compounds 4d, 4q, and 4s on Helicoverpa armigera were better than that of chlorpyrifos. Preliminary structure activity relationship indicated that introduction of 6-chloropyridin-3-ylmethyl and (5-(trifluoromethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)methyl were disfavored by fungicidal activity but favored by insecticidal activities, and these compounds containing 3-chloro-2-fluorobenzyl and 2-bromo-5-fluorobenzyl also showed good insecticidal activity. Moreover, the introduction of fluorine atom could enhance their bio-activities. The present report is the first study of the synthesis, fungicidal and insecticidal activities of [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine derivatives with a sulfide. However, the structures of the synthesized compounds need to be optimized. Future structural modification and biological evaluation are currently underway to explore the full potential of this kind of [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine derivatives with a sulfide group based on these findings.
