Design, synthesis, antifungal activity and preliminary mechanistic study of benzimidazole-containing cinnamamide derivatives against phytopathogenic fungi.
Phytopathogenic fungi continue to pose a serious threat to crop production, while the long-term use of conventional fungicides has raised concerns regarding resistance development and environmental impact. To identify new bioinspired antifungal leads, a series of benzimidazole-containing cinnamamide derivatives were de...
