| Abstract | ||
| A series of some water-soluble N-benzy)phosphoryl chitosan (NBPC) derivatives were synthesized by reaction of chitosan with aldehydes and phosphorus acid. Chemical identification was confirmed by IH- and 31P-NMR spectroscopy. Their biological activities were tested against economic fungus of the grey mould, Botrytis cinerea, and insect of the cotton leafeworm, Spodoptera littoralis. In a radial growth fungicidal bioassay, all of the synthetic compounds were about 6 times more potent than natural chitosan. Substitution with 0-nitro group on the phenyl ring showed the highest activity (EC50 = 0.04%), whereas substitution with p-cyano was the lowest one (EC50 = 0.19%). In feeding bioassay, the insecticidal activity was screened against third-instar larvae Of the cotton leafworm, S littoralis, at 0.5 % (w/w) in the artificial diet and the most active compound was also N(0-nitrobenzylphosphoryl) chitosan. | ||
