The broad spectrum biological activity of amide compounds has been attracted more and more attention,especially in incorporating the amide moiety into many different heterocyclic structures to generate compound series with broad spectrum bioactivity.Thus,heterocyclic amide compounds play an increasingly important role in the development of highly effective pesticides.According to the different structures of heterocyclic amide compounds,their bioactivities especially antifungal activities were reviewed.The main amide classes containing five-membered heterocyclic amide compounds,six-membered heterocyclic amide compounds,benzoheterocyclic amide compounds were presented.The development trends and prospects of heterocyclic amide compounds for future application were also discussed.
