Unraveling the polypharmacology of a natural antifungal product, eugenol, against Rhizoctonia solani

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Rice sheath blight caused by Rhizoctonia solani is a devastating disease of rice in China. However, indiscriminate use of chemical fungicides applied to control the disease raise major environmental and food safety issues. Ecofriendly biocontrol alternatives are urgently needed. Eugenol, one of the main ingredients in Syzygium aromaticum, has attracted much attention owing to its antifungal properties. However, its mode of action is still not clear. Herein, the antifungal activity and mode of actio… Show more

“…To further investigate the antifungal activities of novel pyrazole carboxamide against R. solani, their in vivo antifungal activities were evaluated by pot tests. Compound SCU3038 (EC 50 = 0.95 mg/L) exhibited higher antifungal activity against R. solani than fluxapyroxad (EC 50 = 2.29 mg/L) and thifluzamide (EC 50 = 1.88 mg/L) in Table , and this was consistent with previously reported antifungal activity in vitro .…”

“…While bare MSN, pure eugenol, eugenol encapsulated in non-gated MSN, and eugenol encapsulated in MSN gated with glucose or starch did not prevent A. niger growth, particles consisting of eugenol encapsulated in MSN gated with maltose and maltodextrin did. The antimicrobial activities of eugenol are widely accepted [ 43 ] and its antifungal mechanism of action was recently proposed [ 44 ]. Additionally, experiments with its encapsulation and/or nanoparticles preparation are reported [ 45 , 46 , 47 ], mainly against food-borne or human pathogens, showing its wide antimicrobial potential.…”
