Novel platensimycin derivatives with herbicidal activity

Abstract

All of the tested compounds have been found to exhibit promising seed germination inhibition. We can conclude that lumisantonin was on average the most lethal against all plant species evaluated; however, two of the novel amides have exhibited inhibition selectivity against monocotyledons when compared with dicotyledons. © 2015 Society of Chemical Industry.

Herbicidal activity of isobenzofuranones and in silico identification of their enzyme target

“…This property can determine the compound bioavailability in the cell and the efficiency of the transport of compounds in the phloem of plants . The viability of this methodology is observed in the literature …”

“…14 The viability of this methodology is observed in the literature. [15][16][17] Among the several natural phytotoxins, it is worth mentioning that isobenzofuranones, which are isolated mainly from plants, are the main sources of these compounds. For example, chrycolide 1 (Fig.…”

One‐pot synthesis of anilides, herbicidal activity and molecular docking study

“…In 90‐mm‐diameter Petri dishes containing germination paper, 20 onion seeds, 20 lettuce seeds, and 50 beggartick seeds were distributed and 5.0 ml of the test solution was added to each plate. A total of 20 seeds of cucumber and 9.0 mL of the test solution were added to 145‐mm‐diameter Petri dishes . The dishes were sealed with plastic film and kept in a germination chamber (B.O.D., Piracicaba, Brazil) at 25 °C, in the absence of light, for 120 h (5 days).…”

Synthesis, insecticidal activity, and phytotoxicity of novel chiral amides

“…Studies on pesticide phytotoxicity can be carried out using simple tests in laboratories. These tests usually involve the assessment of germination and root/shoot growth of seeds exposed to the pesticides …”

“…These tests usually involve the assessment of germination and root/shoot growth of seeds exposed to the pesticides. 11 Phytochemicals usually exhibit low environmental persistence and toxicity to mammals, which overcome many of the problems arising from the harmful effects of insecticides in the environment and in food security. 12,13 For these reasons, natural products have been used as models for the development of synthetic pesticides.…”
