Exploring the Potential Fungicidal Applications of a Cu(II) Complex with Schiff Base and Carboxylates against <i>Fusarium equisetum</i>.

ABSTRACT: Given the critical need to preserve agricultural sustainability, there is an urgent call to address fungal infections. Our study presents a promising approach by focusing on SIX (Secreted in Xylem) proteins as a pivotal target for the development of innovative fungicidal strategies. Within the sphere of this study, we meticulously scrutinize the antifungal efficacy of our synthesized Cu(II) complex formulated as [Cu(L1)₂(L2)]⁺(ClO₄)^-, where L1 represents (E)-cyclohexyl-N(pyridine-2-xlmethylene) methanamine and L2H denotes cinnamic acid, compared against a commercially available fungicide comprising 4% hexaconazole and 68% zineb. Employing in silico methodologies, we undertake a comparative analysis targeting SIX proteins to discern
