Design, Synthesis, and Herbicidal Activity Evaluation of Novel Aryl-Naphthyl Methanone Derivatives.

ABSTRACT: 4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) is one of the most vital targets for herbicides discovery. In search for HPPD inhibitors with novel scaffolds, a series of aryl-naphthyl methanone derivatives have been designed and synthesized through alkylation and Friedel-Crafts acylation reactions. The bioassay indicated some of these compounds displayed preferable herbicidal activity at the rate of 0.75 mmol/m2 by post-emergence application, in which compound 3h displayed the best herbicidal activity. The molecular docking showed that compound 3h could bind well to the active site of the AtHPPD. This study shows that aryl-naphthyl methanone derivatives could be a potential lead structure for further development of novel herbicides.

Synthesis of Novel Pyrazole Derivatives Containing Phenylpyridine Moieties with Herbicidal Activity.

Project description:To discover new compounds with favorable herbicidal activity, a range of phenylpyridine moiety-containing pyrazole derivatives were designed, synthesized, and identified via NMR and HRMS. Their herbicidal activities against six species of weeds were evaluated in a greenhouse via both pre- and post-emergence treatments at 150 g a.i./hm2. The bioassay revealed that a few compounds exhibited moderate herbicidal activities against Digitaria sanguinalis, Abutilon theophrasti, and Setaria viridis in post-emergence treatment. For instance, compounds 6a and 6c demonstrated 50% inhibition activity against Setaria viridis, which was slightly superior to pyroxasulfone. Thus, compounds 6a and 6c may serve as the new possible leading compounds for the discovery of post-emergence herbicides.

Design, Synthesis, Herbicidal Activity, and Structure-Activity Relationship Study of Novel 6-(5-Aryl-Substituted-1-Pyrazolyl)-2-Picolinic Acid as Potential Herbicides.

Project description:Picolinic acid and picolinate compounds are a remarkable class of synthetic auxin herbicides. In recent years, two new picolinate compounds, halauxifen-methyl (ArylexTM active) and florpyrauxifen-benzyl (RinskorTM active), have been launched as novel herbicides. Using their structural skeleton as a template, 33 4-amino-3,5-dicholor-6-(5-aryl-substituted-1-pytazolyl)-2-picolinic acid compounds were designed and synthesized for the discovery of compounds with potent herbicidal activity. The compounds were tested for inhibitory activity against the growth of Arabidopsis thaliana roots, and the results demonstrated that the IC50 value of compound V-7 was 45 times lower than that of the halauxifen-methyl commercial herbicide. Molecular docking analyses revealed that compound V-7 docked with the receptor auxin-signaling F-box protein 5 (AFB5) more intensively than picloram. An adaptive three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship model was constructed from these IC50 values to guide the next step of the synthetic strategy. Herbicidal tests of the new compounds indicated that compound V-8 exhibited better post-emergence herbicidal activity than picloram at a dosage of 300 gha-1, and it was also safe for corn, wheat, and sorghum at this dosage. These results demonstrated that 6-(5-aryl-substituted-1-pyrazolyl)-2-picolinic acid compounds could be used as potential lead structures in the discovery of novel synthetic auxin herbicides.

Synthesis of Novel α-Trifluoroanisole Derivatives Containing Phenylpyridine Moieties with Herbicidal Activity.

Project description:To find novel herbicidal compounds with high activity and broad spectrum, a series of phenylpyridine moiety-containing α-trifluoroanisole derivatives were designed, synthesized, and identified via nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). Greenhouse-based herbicidal activity assays revealed that compound 7a exhibited > 80% inhibitory activity against Abutilon theophrasti, Amaranthus retroflexus, Eclipta prostrate, Digitaria sanguinalis, and Setaria viridis at a dose of 37.5 g a.i./hm2, which was better than fomesafen. Compound 7a further exhibited excellent herbicidal activity against Abutilon theophrasti and Amaranthus retroflexus in this greenhouse setting, with respective median effective dose (ED50) values of 13.32 and 5.48 g a.i./hm2, both of which were slightly superior to fomesafen (ED50 = 36.39, 10.09 g a.i./hm2). The respective half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) for compound 7a and fomesafen when used to inhibit the Nicotiana tabacum protoporphyrinogen oxidase (NtPPO) enzyme, were 9.4 and 110.5 nM. The docking result of compound 7a indicated that the introduction of 3-chloro-5-trifluoromethylpyridine and the trifluoromethoxy group was beneficial to the formation of stable interactions between these compounds and NtPPO. This work demonstrated that compound 7a could be further optimized as a PPO herbicide candidate to control various weeds.

Structure-based ligand design and discovery of novel tenuazonic acid derivatives with high herbicidal activity.

Project description:IntroductionComputer-aided design has become an important tool to develop novel pesticides based on natural lead compounds. Tenuazonic acid (TeA), a typical representative of the natural tetramic acid family, was patented as a potential bioherbicide. However, its herbicidal efficacy is still not up to the ideal standard of commercial products.ObjectivesWe aim to find new TeA's derivatives with improved potency.MethodsMolecular docking was used to build ligand-acceptor interaction models, design and screen new derivatives. Phytotoxicity, oxygen evolution rate, chlorophyll fluorescence and herbicidal efficacy were determined to estimate biological activity of compounds.ResultsWith the aid of a constructed molecular model of natural lead molecule TeA binding to the QB site in Arabidopsis D1 protein, a series of derivatives differing in the alkyl side chain were designed and ranked according to free energies. All compounds are stabilized by hydrogen bonding interactions between their carbonyl oxygen O2 and D1-Gly256 residue; moreover, hydrogen bond distance is the most important factor for maintaining high binding affinity. Among 54 newly designed derivatives, D6, D13 and D27 with better affinities than TeA were screened out and synthesized to evaluate their photosynthetic inhibitory activity and herbicidal efficacy. Analysis of structure-activity relationship indicated that D6 and D13 with sec-pentyl and sec-hexyl side chains, respectively, were about twice more inhibitory of PSII activity and effective as herbicide than TeA with a sec-butyl side chain.ConclusionD6 and D13 are promising compounds to develop TeA-derived novel PSII herbicides with superior performance.

Study on Design, Synthesis and Herbicidal Activity of Novel 6-Indazolyl-2-picolinic Acids.

Project description:Thirty-eight new 4-amino-3,5-dicholo-6-(1H-indazolyl)-2-picolinic acids and 4-amino-3,5-dicholo-6-(2H-indazolyl)-2-picolinic acids were designed by scaffold hopping and synthesized to discover potential herbicidal molecules. All the new compounds were tested to determine their inhibitory activities against Arabidopsis thaliana and the root growth of five weeds. In general, the synthesized compounds exhibited excellent inhibition properties and showed good inhibitory effects on weed root growth. In particular, compound 5a showed significantly greater root inhibitory activity than picloram in Brassica napus and Abutilon theophrasti Medicus at the concentration of 10 µM. The majority of compounds exhibited a 100% post-emergence herbicidal effect at 250 g/ha against Amaranthus retroflexus and Chenopodium album. We also found that 6-indazolyl-2-picolinic acids could induce the up-regulation of auxin genes ACS7 and NCED3, while auxin influx, efflux and auxin response factor were down-regulated, indicating that 6-indazolyl-2-picolinic acids promoted ethylene release and ABA production to cause plant death in a short period, which is different in mode from other picolinic acids.

Design, synthesis, and herbicidal activity of sec-p-menthane-7-amine derivatives as botanical herbicides.

Project description:In this study, a series of novel p-menthane type secondary amines (sec-p-menthane-7-amine derivatives 3a-3y) were synthesized and then characterized by FTIR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and HRMS. The post-emergence herbicidal activities of these amines against barnyard grass and rape were evaluated by the culture dish method. Most of the sec-p-menthane-7-amine derivatives showed excellent herbicidal activities equivalent to or even higher than either diuron or glyphosate. The alkyl-substituted derivatives were more active than the phenyl-substituted derivatives. The herbicidal activities of compounds 3p, 3r, 3u, and 3w against the root growth of barnyard grass were 404% higher, respectively, than those of glyphosate. The herbicidal activities of compounds 3q, 3v, 3w, and 3x against the root growth of rape were 561%, 494%, 491%, and 544% higher, respectively, than those of diuron, and 484%, 760%, 423%, and 665% higher respectively, than those of diuron against shoot growth of rape. In addition, compounds 3p, 3u, and 3v are almost harmless to rice, wheat, sorghum, maize, and peanuts at a concentration of 100 mg L-1. Most of the compounds are nontoxic to HUVEC-C and BALB/c 3T3 cells. It is indicated that the title compounds could be utilized as botanical herbicides for future weed control.

Antiglioma Activity of Aryl and Amido-Aryl Acetamidine Derivatives Targeting iNOS: Synthesis and Biological Evaluation.

Project description:Nitric oxide is an important inflammation mediator with a recognized role in the development of different cancers. Gliomas are primary tumors of the central nervous system with poor prognosis, and the expression of the inducible nitric oxide synthase correlates with the degree of malignancy, changes in vascular reactivity, and neo-angiogenesis. Therefore, targeting the nitric oxide biosynthesis appears as a potential strategy to impair glioma progression. In the present work a set of aryl and amido-aryl acetamidine derivatives were synthesized to obtain new potent and selective inducible nitric oxide synthase inhibitors with improved physicochemical parameters with respect to the previously published molecules. Compound 17 emerged as the most promising inhibitor and was evaluated on C6 rat glioma cell line, showing antiproliferative effects and high selectivity over astrocytes.
