The applications of mesoionic compounds and their analogues as agents against plant viruses remain unexplored. This was the first evaluation of the antiviral activities of mesoionic compounds on this issue. Our study involved the design and synthesis of a series of novel imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine mesoionic compounds containing a sulfonamide moiety and the assessment of their antiviral activities against potato virus Y (PVY). Compound A33 was assessed on the basis of three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) model analysis and displayed good curative, protective, and inactivating activity effects against PVY at 500 mg/L, up to 51.0, 62.0, and 82.1%, respectively, which were higher than those of commercial ningnanmycin (NNM, at 47.2, 50.1, and 81.4%). Significantly, defensive enzyme activities and proteomics results showed that compound A33 could enhance the defense response by activating the activity of defense enzymes, inducing the glycolysis/gluconeogenesis pathway of tobacco to resist PVY infection. Therefore, our study indicates that compound A33 could be applied as a potential viral inhibitor.
