Structure-activity relationships for a new family of sulfonylurea herbicides

Summary Acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS; EC 2.2.1.6) catalyzes the first common step in branched-chain amino acid biosynthesis. The enzyme is inhibited by several chemical classes of compounds and this inhibition is the basis of action of the sulfonylurea and imidazolinone herbicides. The commercial sulfonylureas contain a pyrimidine or a triazine ring that is substituted at both meta positions, thus obeying the initial rules proposed by Levitt. Here we assess the activity of 69 monosubstituted sulfonylurea analogs and related compounds as inhibitors of pure recombinant Arabidopsis thaliana AHAS and show that disubstitution is not absolutely essential as exemplified by our novel herbicide, monosulfuron (2-nitro-N-(4′-methyl-pyrimidin−2′-yl) phenyl-sulfonylurea), which has a pyrimidine ring with a single meta substituent. A subset of these compounds was tested for herbicidal activity and it was shown that their effect in vivo correlates well with their potency in vitro as AHAS inhibitors. Three-dimensional quantitative structure–activity relationships were developed using comparative molecular field analysis and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis. For the latter, the best result was obtained when steric, electrostatic, hydrophobic and H-bond acceptor factors were taken into consideration. The resulting fields were mapped on to the published crystal structure of the yeast enzyme and it was shown that the steric and hydrophobic fields are in good agreement with sulfonylurea-AHAS interaction geometry.     

Design,Syntheses and Biological Activities of Novel Sulfonylureas Containing an Oxime Ether Moiety

Since sulfonylurea is one of the most potent acetohydroxyacid synthase(AHAS) inhibitors, a series of novel sulfonylureas containing an oxime ether moiety was designed and synthesized and their chemical structures were determined by means of ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR), ¹³C NMR and high-resolution mass spectrometry(HRMS). In the herbicidal bioassay, several compounds showed moderate to good herbicidal activities against dicotyledons, but their activities against monocotyledons decreased. The in vitro antifungal activity was tested at a dosage of 50 mg/L. And the results show that compounds 7l, 7m and 7n exhibit promising antifungal activities against six common plant pathogenic fungi. Further investigations on molecular modification are in progress.     

Synthesis and Herbicidal Activity of Novel Pyrimidinyl Derivatives Containing an α-Amino Phosphonate Moiety

In order to find novel pyrimidinyl carboxylic acid analogs with high activity and low toxicity, a series of novel pyrimidinyl derivatives containing an α-amino phosphonate moiety 5 was synthesized by the condensation of 4-(4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yloxy)phenoxyacetic 3a or propionic acids 3b with dialkyl α-amino substitutedbenzyl phosphonates 4. Their structures were characterized by spectroscopic data (IR, ¹H NMR, ³¹P NMR, MS) and elemental analyses. The results of preliminary herbicidal activities (in vitro) showed that most of these compounds exhibited higher herbicidal activities against dicotyledonous weeds (Brassica campestris L) than monocotyledonous weeds (Echinochloa crus-galli). Further bioassays (in vivo) indicated that some of compounds 5 possessed selective herbicidal activity against amaranth pigweed (A. retroflexus) in post-emergence treatment.

Study on the bioactivity changes of hydroxylated sulfonylureas derivatives: A possible metabolism

Some new sulfonylureas and their hydroxylation products had been synthesized from 2-amino-4-methylpyrimidine. Their bioactivities against E. coli AHAS II in vitro were tested and the results indicated that the hydroxylation decreased the inhibition activities of sulfonylureas significantly. Subsequently herbicidal tests against stem-growth of barnyard grass and root-growth of rape confirmed the above conclusion. The preliminary molecular docking studies were also carried out to investigate the binding modes of non-hydroxylated and hydroxylated sulfonylureas with AHAS.     

Synthesis and Herbicidal Activities of Sulfonylureas Bearing 1,3,4‐Thiadiazole Moiety

In this article, we report the synthesis and herbicidal activities of sulfonylureas bearing the 1,3,4‐thiadiazole moiety. The target compounds 9a , 9b , 9c , 9d , 9e , 9f , 9g , 9h , 9i , 9j , 9k , 9l were synthesized using 2‐hydrazinocarbonyl benzenesulfonamide ( 4 ) and phenyl pyrimidinecarbamates as starting materials. The key intermediate, 2‐(4,5‐dihydro‐5‐thioxo‐1,3,4‐thiadiazol‐2‐yl)benzenesulfonamide ( 5 ), was prepared from 4 and CS₂ via a conventional method or an improved method. The improved method, in which sulfonamido group acts as a directing group for the cyclization reaction, is more concise and efficient. The structures of the target compounds were determined by IR, ¹H‐NMR, ¹³C‐NMR, MS, and elemental analysis. Their herbicidal activities were screened by Petri dish tests and pot tests. As the results, sulfonylureas 9h and 9j inhibited Brassica napus, Amaranthus retroflexus, and Echinochloa crusgalli at the 15 g/ha level, which is at the same level as azimsulfuron. Moreover, the safety tests showed that 9j was safe to wheat at dosage of 60 g/ha and might develop further into a herbicide in wheat field.     

Synthesis and bioactivities of diamide derivatives containing a phenazine-1-carboxamide scaffold

Taking natural product phenazine-1-carboxamide (PCN) as a lead compound, a series of novel phenazine-1-carboxylic acid diamide derivatives were designed and synthesised. Their structures were confirmed by ¹H-NMR and HRMS. The bioassays showed that some of the target compounds exhibited promising in vitro fungicidal activities, and exhibited excellent and selective herbicidal activities. Particularly, compounds c, h, o and s displayed root length inhibition activities against barnyard grass with the rate of more than 80%. Compound c exhibited the best activity among all the target compounds against barnyard grass stalk length with the IC₅₀ value of 0.158 mmol/L, and compound o exhibited the best and wide spectrum inhibition against barnyard grass root length and rape in both root length and stalk length herbicidal activities with its IC₅₀ values of 0.067, 0.048 and 0.059 mmol/L respectively. The analysis of preliminary Structure-Activity Relationships provides the theoretical basis for further design of phenazine-1-carboxylic acid.     

Design,synthesis and herbicidal activity of novel cyclic phosphonates with diaryl ethers containing pyrimidine

Abstract

Thirteen novel cyclic phosphates were rationally designed and synthesized by introducing diary ethers containing pyrimidine. All the target compounds were characterized by ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P NMR and HRMS. The test of herbicidal activity indicated that most of the compounds showed good herbicidal activities against Amaranthus retroflexus. The compounds IA-2 (1-(5,5-dimethyl-2-oxido-1,3,2-dioxaphosphinan-2-yl)propyl-2-((4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)oxy)benzoate) and IA-3 ((5,5-dimethyl-2-oxido-1,3,2-dioxaphosphinan-2-yl)(phenyl)methyl-2-((4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)oxy)benzoate) exhibited remarkable post-emergency herbicidal activity against the tested monocotyledonous weed at the dosage of 112.5?g ai/ha.

Their structures were confirmed by spectroscopic data (IR, ¹H NMR, ³¹P NMR, MS) and elemental analysis. The results of a preliminary bioassay (in vitro) indicated that some of the title compounds 3 possessed moderate to good herbicidal activities against dicotyledonous plants (Brassica campestris L) at the concentration of 100 mg/L, and most of these compounds exhibited higher herbicidal activities against dicotyledonous plants (Brassica campestris L) than monocotyledonous plants (Echinochloa crus-galli).

Homologous and heterologous interactions between catalytic and regulatory subunits of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Escherichia coli</Emphasis> acetohydroxyacid synthase I and III

Homologous and heterologous interactions between acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) I and III from E. coli have been studied by surface plasmon resonance (SPR). The catalytic and regulatory subunits association for AHAS I (K _D = 1.13 × 10⁻⁷ M) was stronger than that for AHAS III (K _D = 5.29 × 10⁻⁷ M). A strong heterologous association between regulatory and catalytic subunits and heterologous activation of catalytic subunits were observed. SPR results combined with enzyme kinetics indicate that the reconstituted heterologous enzymes had similar kinetic properties as homologous enzymes, implying that the regulatory subunit of AHAS I could be replaced by the regulatory subunit of AHAS III and vice versa. This work may be useful to further understandings of the mechanism of regulation of AHAS.
