Abstract
A series of indole derivatives containing quinoline structures were designed and synthesized. The synthesized compounds were characterized by NMR and HRMS. And W14 was performed by single crystal X-ray diffraction experiments. The antiviral activity studies showed that some of the target compounds possessed significant activity against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). In particular, W20 had significant activity. The results of in vivo anti-TMV activity assay showed that W20 possessed the best curative and protective activities with EC50 values of 84.4 and 65.7 μg/mL, which were better than ningnanmycin (NNM) 205.1 and 162.0 μg/mL, respectively. The results of Microscale thermophoresis (MST) showed that W20 had a strong binding affinity for the tobacco mosaic virus coat protein (TMV-CP) with a dissociation constant (Kd) of 0.00519 μmol/L, which was superior to that of NNM (1. 65320 μmol/L). The molecular docking studies were in accordance with the experimental results. In addition, the determination of malondialdehyde (MDA) content in tobacco leaves showed that W20 improved the disease resistance of tobacco. Overall, this study shows that indole derivatives containing quinoline can be used as new antiviral agents for plant viruses for further research.
