Started from salicylic acid (SA) and related commercialized plant activators, based on molecular three-dimensional shape and pharmacophore similarity comparison (SHAFTS), a new lead compound benzotriazole was predicted and a series of benzotriazole derivatives were designed and synthesized. The bioassay showed that benzotriazole had high activity against a broad spectrum of diseases including fungi and oomycetes in vivo, but no activity in vitro. And the introduction of proper groups at the 1'-position and 5'-position was beneficial to the activity. So, they had the potential to be exploited as novel plant activators.
