ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Transketolase (TKL, EC 2.2.1.1) is a key enzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway and Calvin cycle, and is expected to act as a herbicidal site-of-action. On the basis of TKL, we designed and synthesized a series of 1-oxy-propionamide-pyrazole-3-carboxylate analogues and evaluated their herbicidal activities.RESULTS:
Methyl 1-methyl-5-((1-oxo-1-((4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)amino)propan-2-yl)oxy)-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylate (C23) and methyl 1-methyl-5-((1-oxo-1-((perfluorophenyl)amino)propan-2-yl)oxy)-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylate (C33) were found to provide better growth-inhibition activities against Digitaria sanguinalis root than those of nicosulfuron, mesotrione and pretilachlor at 200 mg L-1 using the small-cup method. These compounds were also identified as promising compounds in pre-emergence and postemergence herbicidal-activity experiments, with relatively good inhibitory effects toward Amaranthus retroflexus and D. sanguinalis at 150 g ai ha-1. In addition, enzyme inhibition assays and molecular docking studies revealed that C23 and C33 interact favourably with SvTKL (Setaria viridis TKL).CONCLUSION:
C23 and C33 are promising lead TKL inhibitors for the optimization of new herbicides. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.
