Xanthatin, a natural sesquiterpene lactone, occurs as one of the major constituents ofXanthiumplants (Compositae) and exhibits many important biological properties. To discover natural products-based pesticides, forty-nine Michael-type thiol/amino adducts of xanthatin were synthesized and characterized, while their pesticidal activities were investigated. Among them, compounds2c,2h,2i, and2texhibited more potent antifungal activity againstBotrytis cinerea(IC50= 0.96, 0.38, 6.33, and 7.21 µg/mL, respectively) than xanthatin and the two commercial fungicides. Compounds2tand2udisplayed broad-spectrum and excellent antifungal effects against all tested phytopathogenic fungi, while their IC50values ranged from 7.21 to 75.88 µg/mL. Compounds2a,2f,2l,2m,2v,7c,7e,7h,7i, and7jshowed moderate larvicidal activity againstPlutella xylostellaLinnaeus. Furthermore, compounds2b,7g, and7hdemonstrated significant ovicidal activity againstP. xylostellawith the LC50values of 14.04, 10.00, and 11.95 mg/L, respectively. These findings suggest that thiol/amino appended in the C-13 position of xanthatin may improve antifungal and ovicidal activities for the derivatives. It was also noticed that the exocyclic double bond of xanthatin is crucial for its larvicidal activity. This work also provides some important hints for further design, synthesis, and structural modification of the xanthanolides sesquiterpene lactones toward development of the new environmentally friendly pesticides for sustainable agricultural production.
