- Eco-friendly microwave synthesis of Mg(II) phenoxy carboxylic acid coordination compounds with specific motifs driven by multiple hydrogen bonding
-
Four novel Mg(ii) coordination compounds [Mg(CPA)2(H2O)4] 1, [Mg(H2O)6]·(MCPA)22, [Mg(DCPA)(H2O)5]·(DCPA) 3 and [Mg(TCPA)2(H2O)4]·2H2O 4 were designed by the strategy of hydrogen bonding driven self-assembly (HCPA = 2-chlorophenoxyacetic acid, HMCPA = 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid, HDCPA = 2,3-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and HTCPA = 2,4,6-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction demonstrated that each coordination compound had its own specific motif driven by multiple hydrogen bonding: rectangle motif (compound 1), butterfly motif (compound 2), head and tail connected double heart-rectangle motif (compound 3) and alternative one side shared hexagon-rectangle motif (compound 4). The hydrogen bonding effects (O-H?Cl and O-H?O) on thermostability of the title compounds were well proved by TG analysis. The antibacterial activity of 1-4 has been explored, and all of them showed antibacterial efficiency against colibacillus at certain concentrations. The number of chlorides in the ligands seemed to affect the efficiency of the complexes while their position had no obvious effect. In addition, all the title compounds were evaluated for plant growth regulation by using the lettuce seedling growth bioassay. The results showed that these kinds of compounds had potential to serve as natural plant growth regulators because of their higher allelopathic activity. This research firstly applied the effective microwave method to synthesize Mg(ii) phenoxy carboxylic acid coordination compounds. The design strategy of hydrogen-bonding-driven self-assembly presented here gave a novel insight into the further structural prediction and biofunction achievement of Mg(ii) supramolecular assemblies.

- Discovery, synthesis and biological characterization of a series of: N -(1-(1,1-dioxidotetrahydrothiophen-3-yl)-3-methyl-1 H -pyrazol-5-yl)acetamide ethers as novel GIRK1/2 potassium channel activators
-
The present study describes the discovery and characterization of a series of N-(1-(1,1-dioxidotetrahydrothiophen-3-yl)-3-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)acetamide ethers as G protein-gated inwardly-rectifying potassium (GIRK) channel activators. From our previous lead optimization efforts, we have identified a new ether-based scaffold and paired this with a novel sulfone-based head group to identify a potent and selective GIRK1/2 activator. In addition, we evaluated the compounds in tier 1 DMPK assays and have identified compounds that display nanomolar potency as GIRK1/2 activators with improved metabolic stability over the prototypical urea-based compounds.

- Design and Synthesis of Novel 4-Hydroxyl-3-(2-phenoxyacetyl)-pyran-2-one Derivatives for Use as Herbicides and Evaluation of Their Mode of Action
-
In order to develop a novel herbicide containing the β-triketone motif, a series of 4-hydroxyl-3-(2-phenoxyacetyl)-pyran-2-one derivatives were designed and synthesized. The bioassay results showed that compound II15 had good pre-emergent herbicidal activity even at a dosage of 187.5 g ha-1. Moreover, compound II15 showed a broader spectrum of weed control when compared with a commercial herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), and displayed good crop safety to Triticum aestivum L. and Zea mays Linn. when applied at 375 g ha-1 under pre-emergence conditions, which indicated its great potential as a herbicide. More importantly, studying the molecular mode of action of compound II15 revealed that the novel triketone structure is a proherbicide of its corresponding phenoxyacetic acid auxin herbicide, which has a herbicidal mechanism similar to that of 2,4-D. The present work indicates that the 4-hydroxyl-3-(2-phenoxyacetyl)-pyran-2-one motif may be a potential lead structure for further development of novel auxin-type herbicides.

- An Efficient One-Pot Synthesis of 2-(Aryloxyacetyl)cyclohexane-1,3-diones as Herbicidal 4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate Dioxygenase Inhibitors
-
4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (EC 1.13.11.27, HPPD) is an important target for new bleaching herbicides discovery. As a continuous work to discover novel crop selective HPPD inhibitor, a series of 2-(aryloxyacetyl)cyclohexane-1,3-diones were rationally designed and synthesized by an efficient one-pot procedure using N,N′-carbonyldiimidazole (CDI), triethylamine, and acetone cyanohydrin in CH2Cl2. A total of 58 triketone compounds were synthesized in good to excellent yields. Some of the triketones displayed potent in vitro Arabidopsis thaliana HPPD (AtHPPD) inhibitory activity. 2-(2-((1-Bromonaphthalen-2-yl)oxy)acetyl)-3-hydroxycyclohex-2-en-1-one, II-13, displayed high, broad-spectrum, and postemergent herbicidal activity at the dosage of 37.5-150 g ai/ha, nearly as potent as mesotrione against some weeds. Furthermore, II-13 showed good crop safety against maize and canola at the rate of 150 g ai/ha, indicating that II-13 might have potential as a herbicide for weed control in maize and canola fields. II-13 is the first HPPD inhibitor showing good crop safety toward canola.

- Synthesis and biological activity of 1-(Substituted phenoxyacetoxy)- 1-(pyridin-2-yl or thien-2-yl)methylphosphonates
-
A series of novel O,O-dimethyl 1-(substituted phenoxyacetoxy)-1-(pyridin-2-yl or thien-2-yl)methylphosphonates 6a-n and 7a-d were synthesized. Their structures were confirmed by IR, 1H NMR, mass spectroscopy, and elemental analyses. The results of preliminary bioassays show that some of the title compounds exhibit moderate to good herbicidal and fungicidal activities. For example, the title compounds 6a, 6c, 6l, 6m, and 7d possess 90-100% inhibition against most of the tested plants at the dosage of 1500 g ai/ha, whereas the title compounds 6b, 6g-h and 6n possess 92-100% inhibition against Fusarium oxysporum, Phyricularia grisea, Botrytis cinereapers, Gibberella zeae, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, and Cercospora beticola at the concentration of 50mg/L.

- Studies of O,O-Dimethyl α-(2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetoxy) ethylphosphonate (HW02) as a new herbicide. 1. Synthesis and herbicidal activity of HW02 and analogues as novel inhibitors of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex
-
On the basis of the previous work for optimization of O,O-diethyl α-(substituted phenoxyacetoxy)alkylphosphonates, further extensive syntheticmodifications were made to the substituents in alkylphosphonate and phenoxymoieties of the title compounds. New O,O-dimethyl α-(substituted phenoxyacetoxy)alkylphosphonates were synthesized as potential inhibitors of pyruvate dehydorogenase complex (PDHc). Their herbicidal activity and efficacy in vitro against PDHc were examined. Some of these compounds exhibited significant herbicidal activity and were demonstrated to be effective inhibitors of PDHc from three different plants. The structure-activity relationships of these compounds including previously reported analogous compoundswere studied by examining their herbicidal activities. Both inhibitory potency against PDHc and herbicidal activity of title compounds could be increased greatly by optimizing substituent groups of the title compounds. O,O-Dimethyl α-(2,4- dichlorophenoxyacetoxy)ethylphosphonate (I-5), which acted as a competitive inhibitor of PDHc with much higher inhibitory potency against PDHc from Pisum sativum and Phaseolus radiatus than from Oryza sativa, was found to be themost effective compound against broadleaf weeds and showed potential utility as herbicide.

-
In an attempt to discover novel compounds with high activity and low toxicity, a series of new O,O-dimethyl-α-(substituted phenoxyacetoxy)-2- pyridyl methyl phosphinates, 5a-5h, have been designed and synthesized by the reaction of substituted phenoxyacetic chloride with 1-hydroxy-2-pyridyl methyl phosphinate, The structures of all new compounds were characterized by elementary analysis, IR, 1H NMR, and MS spectroscopies. The results of preliminary bioassay indicate that most of the target compounds have excellent inhibitory activities on barnyard grass and rape. Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
