A series of new triazole derivatives was synthesized and their inhibitory activity against allene oxide synthase (AOS, CYP74A), a key enzyme in jasmonic acid biosynthesis, was evaluated. Structure-activity relationship studies revealed that methyl 8-[1-(naphthalen-2-yl)-2-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl) ethoxy]octanate (4i) and methyl 8-[1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)ethoxy]octanate (4g) exhibit potent inhibitory activity to allene oxide synthase, with IC 50 values of 0.75±0.30 and 0.84±0.60 μM, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
