Novel N,O-acyl chitosan (NOAC) derivatives were synthesized to examine their fungicidal activity against the gray mould fungus Botrytis cinerea (Leotiales: Sclerotiniaceae) and the rice leaf blast fungus Pyricularia V oryzae (Teleomorph: Magnaporth grisea). The fungicidal activity was evaluated by the radial growth bioassay. NOAC derivatives were more active against the two plant pathogens than chitosan itself, and the effect was concentration dependent. Against B. cinerea, 4-chlorobutyryl chitosan (EC50 = 0.043%), decanoyl chitosan (EC50 = 0.044%), cinnamoyl chitosan (EC50 = 0.045%), and p-methoxybenzoyl chitosan (EC50 = 0.050%) were the most active (12-13-fold more active than chitosan). (Un)- substituted benzoyl chitosan derivatives were more active against B. cinerea than most of these with NO-alkyl derivatives. Against P. oryzae chitosan derivatives with lauroyl, methoxy acetyl, methacryloyl and decanoyl were the most active.
