Abstract Common bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris ), a key component of human nutrition, is highly susceptible to infection by Colletotrichum lindemuthianum , a fungus that rapidly develops fungicide resistance. Since this phytopathogen represents a challenge to common bean crops, new fungicides are needed to control it. Thus, curcuminoids have emerged as potential antifungal candidates. In this study, we synthesised 18 monoketone curcuminoids (MKCs) and evaluated their antifungal activity against C. li
