In response to this demand, a series of novel derivatives containing pyrazole imidazo[5,1-b]thiazole were synthesized by the intermediate derivatization method to modify the imine skeleton, which was found to have good antifungal activity in a previous work, and subjecting it to intramolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>These compounds showed good performance in antifungal activity tests. Compounds 4f and 18f [median effective concentration (EC₅₀) values 0.98 and 0.95 mg L^-1, respectively] had comparable activity against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum to that of the commercial pesticide boscalid (EC₅₀ = 0.82 mg L^-1). In vivo testing showed that compound 18f had a good protective effect on rape leaves at 40 mg L^-1 concentration. Scanning (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that compound 18f exerted a notable detrimental effect on the integrity of the fungal cell membrane, and thus antifungal activity. Subsequent leakage of cell content, relative conductivity tests, cell membrane permeability assays and reactive oxygen species (ROS) assays showed similar results.
