Gan, Zengyu; Huang, Jianping; Chen, Jinyin; Nisar, Muhammad Farrukh; Qi, Wenwen published the artcile< Synthesis and antifungal activities of cinnamaldehyde derivatives against Penicillium digitatum causing citrus green mold>, Application In Synthesis of 3893-18-3, the main research area is Cinnamaldehyde Penicillium antifungal activity citrus.
Penicillium digitatum (green mold) is pathogenic fungi and causes citrus fruit postharvest rotting that leads to huge economic losses across the world. The current study was aimed to develop a new derivative of cinnamaldehyde (4-methoxycinnamaldehyde) through the cross-hydroxyaldehyde condensation method with benzaldehyde substituted by a benzene ring under the catalysis of alk. reagent and, moreover, to test their antifungal potential against P. digitatum, the major citrus fruit rotting fungi. Multiple derivatives of cinnamaldehyde viz. 4-nitro CA, 4-chloro CA, 4-bromo CA, 4-Me CA, 4-methoxy CA, and 2,4-dimethoxy CA were synthesized in the current study whereas the 4-methoxy CA showed highest antifungal actions for citrus fruit postharvest rotting fungi P. digitatum. Moreover, 4-methoxy CA was found to reduce the spore germination and growth by damaging the fungal cell membrane, as well as declined the levels of reducing sugars.
