Effect of 4-amino-6-methyl-3-phenylamino-l,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-one on the lignification process catalysed by peroxidase from lupin (lupinus albus)

The molecular action of herbicides with a triazine structure, such as atrazine (2-chloro-4-ethylamino-6-isopropylamino-1,3,5-triazine) and metribuzin (4-amino-6-tert-butyl-3-methylthio-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-one), has been related to their inhibition of the electron carrier system between chloroplastic photosystems II and I. This report provides evidence that 4-amino-6-methyl-3-phenylamino-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-one, a recently synthesised triazine, structurally analogous to metribuzin, causes a powerful inhibition of the cell-wall lignification catalysed by peroxidase from lupin. The two reactions involved in this lignification process are: oxidative polymerisation of coniferyl alcohol and the generation of hydrogen peroxide at the expense of NADH oxidation.     

Herbicidal activity and selectivity of new 3-alkyl-4-amino-6-aryl-1,2,4-triazin-5-ones

3-Alkyl-4-amino-6-phenyl-1,2,4-triazin-5-ones are herbicidal compounds which act by inhibition of the electron transport in photosynthesis (Hill reaction). There is some correlation between phytotoxicity and photosynthesis inhibition data. An exception is found with sugar beets which are very tolerant towards triazinones with a methyl group in 3-position and an amino group in 4-position. The best compound from this series, 4-amino-4,5-dihydro-3-methyl-6-phenyl-1,2,4-triazin-5-one, metamitron, shows very promising properties as a selective herbicide in sugar beet crops.     

Synthesis and fungicidal activity against Pyricularia oryzae of 6-(1,2,4-triazol-4-yl) chromone and -1-thiochromone derivatives

A series of novel 6-(1,2,4-triazol-4-yl) chromone and -1-thiochromone (benzo[b]thiazin-4-one) derivatives was obtained by cyclisation via thiosemicarbazides which were prepared by reaction of hydrazines and the corresponding isothiocyanates. Their fungicidal activity was evaluated against the rice blast fungus Pyricularia oryzae. Of this series, 2,5,8-trimethyl-6-(1-propyl-5-thioxo-3-trifluoromethyl-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl) chromone, 6-(1-butyl-5-thioxo-3-trifluoromethyl-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)-2,5,8-trimethylchromone, 6-(1-hexyl-3-methyl-5-thioxo-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)-2,5,8-trimethylchromone and 6-(1-allyl-5-thioxo-3-trifluoromethyl-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)-2,5,8-trimethylchromone were highly active (pEC₅₀>6·0). Structure–activity relationship studies using the capacity factor k′ as a hydrophobicity index suggested that the log k′ optimum for 2,5,8-trimethyl-chromone and -1-thiochromone derivatives was around 1·0, equivalent to a log P_ow value of c. 4·4. © 1998 SCI

Alternate pathways of metribuzin metabolism in soybean: Formation of N-glucoside and homoglutathione conjugates

Metribuzin [4-amino-6-tert-butyl-3(methylthio)-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-one] metabolism was studied in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr. Tracy]. Pulse treatment studies with seedlings and excised mature leaves showed that [5-¹⁴C]metribuzin was absorbed rapidly and translocated acropetally. In seedlings, >97% of the root-absorbed ¹⁴C was present in foliar tissues after 24 hr. In excised leaves, 50–60% of the absorbed ¹⁴C remained as metribuzin 48 hr after pulse treatment, 12–20% was present as polar metabolites, and 20–30% was present as an insoluble residue. Metabolites were isolated by solvent partitioning, and were purified by adsorption, ion-exchange, thin-layer, and high-performance liquid chromatography. The major metabolite (I) was identified as a homoglutathione conjugate, 4-amino-6-tert-butyl-3-S-(γ-glutamyl-cysteinyl-β-alanine)-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-one. Metabolite identification was confirmed by qualitative analysis of amino acid hydrolysis products, fast atom bombardment (FAB), and chemical ionization (CI) mass spectrometry, and by comparison with a reference glutathione conjugate synthesized in vitro with a hepatic microsomal oxidase system from rat. Minor metabolites were identified as an intermediate N-glucoside conjugate (II), a malonyl N-glucoside conjugate (III), and 4-malonylamido-6-tert-butyl-1,2,4-triazin-3,5(2H,4H)-dione (N-malonyl DK, IV) by CI and FAB mass spectrometry. Alternative pathways of metribuzin metabolism are proposed.     

含苯丙氨酸和1H-茚-1-酮类氯虫苯甲酰胺类似物的合成及杀虫活性

为了开发新的杀虫化合物，以氯虫苯甲酰胺为先导，2-甲基-3-氨基苯甲酸为起始原料，经过卤化生成5-氯-3-甲基-2-氨基苯甲酸；再与3-溴-1-(3-氯吡啶-2-吡啶基)-1H-吡唑-5-甲酸进行缩合反应，生成6-氯-2-(3-溴-1-(3-氯吡啶-2-吡啶基)-1H-吡唑-5-基)-8-甲基-4H-3,1-苯并噁嗪-4-酮；最后引入苯丙氨酸片段并经环化反应，分别合成了两个系列共计23 个新化合物( 4 和 5 )，其中化合物 4 为含苯丙氨酸的氯虫苯甲酰胺类似物，化合物 5 为由化合物4环化生成的含1H-茚-1-酮片段的氯虫苯甲酰胺类似物，所有化合物的结构均通过核磁共振氢谱(1H NMR)、碳谱(13C NMR)和高分辨质谱(HRMS)的表征及确证。初步室内杀虫活性测试结果表明，多数目标化合物对黏虫Mythinma separata具有较高的杀虫活性，其中14个化合物在100 mg/L下对黏虫Mythinma separata的致死率为100%，化合物 5k ( 1H-茚-1-酮片段中取代基为羟基 ) 在4和0.8 mg/L下的致死率分别为90%和70%，其LC₅₀值为0.55 mg/L。分子对接结果表明，化合物 5k 与氯虫苯甲酰胺一样，也是作用于鱼尼汀受体(RyR)，但与靶标结合的氨基酸残基不同，这种差异可能对黏虫的抗药性治理研究有益。     

Plant cell cultures as a model for the biochemistry of crop selectivity

Plant cell cultures have been used to study the metabolic degradation of 4-amino-5-methyl-2-(tert-butylaminocarbonyl)-1,2,4-triazolin-3-one. The biochemical basis of selectivity was shown to reside in effective metabolic conjugation. The herbicide was eliminated from cell cultures of beet (which is tolerant to it) by conjugation (N-glycolisation), but this occured to only a limited extent with cell cultures of non-target plants such as soybean.     

Effect of different photosystem II inhibitors on chloroplasts isolated from species either susceptible or resistant toward s-triazine herbicides

In chloroplasts isolated from susceptible and atrazine-resistant Amaranthus retroflexus, the inhibition of photosynthetic electron transport by various classes of herbicides has been investigated. Resistance of mutant Amaranthus is not restricted to s-triazines but also extends to uracils, 1,2,4-triazine-5-ones, and ureas. For 1,2,4-triazin-5-ones and chloroplasts of both biotypes, a correlation between inhibition of photosynthetic electron transport and the partition coefficient could be established. In the case of phenolic herbicides only modestly decreased or even higher sensitivity of chloroplasts from the resistant biotype as compared to the susceptible one could be observed. These results are confirmed by binding of radioactively labeled herbicides to chloroplasts of both plants. Specific binding of atrazine or metribuzin to resistant chloroplasts is completely abolished, and that of diuron or phenisopham diminished as compared to susceptible chloroplasts. In contrast, binding of phenolic herbicides generally is enhanced in resistant chloroplasts. Photoaffinity labeling of thylakoids from both biotypes by 2-azido-4-nitro-6-[2′,3′-³H]isobutylphenol yields almost identical labeling patterns. These results are consistent with a recently proposed model (W. Oettmeier, K. Masson, and U. Johanningmeier, Biochim. Biophys. Acta679, 376 (1982) of two different herbicide binding proteins at the reducing side of photosystem II: a 32- to 34-kdalton protein responsible for binding of triazines, triazinones, ureas, and related herbicides and a photosystem II reaction center protein for binding of phenolic herbicides.     

Synthesis and herbicidal activity of new oxazinone herbicides with a long-lasting herbicidal activity against Echinochloa oryzicola

Chemical modification of the herbicide 1-[2-(benzothiazol-2-yl)isopropyl]-4-methyl-3-phenyl-5H-pyrrolin-2-one (MI-2826) has revealed a new oxazinone herbicide, 3-[2-(7-chlorobenzothiazol-2-yl)isopropyl]-2,3-dihydro-6-methyl-5-phenyl-4H-1,3-oxazin-4-one (MI-3069), for use in paddy fields. In comparing the phyototoxicity of the two herbicides to transplanted rice, the latter was superior to the former and kept the same predominant characteristic to control Echinochloa oryzicola Vasin for a long period of time owing to its long-lasting residual effect.     

Monitoring of the photochemical degradation of metamitron and imidacloprid by micellar electrokinetic chromatography and differential-pulse polarography

The photochemical degradation of metamitron (4-amino-4,5-dihydro-3-methyl-6-phenyl-1,2,4-triazin-5-one) and imidacloprid (1-(6-chloro-3-pyridylmethyl)-N-nitroimidazolidin-2-ylideneamine) has been investigated by differential-pulse polarography (DPP) and micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC); the degradation pathways of these pesticides were elucidated and their degradation products proposed. The electrochemical study of imidacloprid by DPP at different pH values demonstrated the occurrence of two different reduction processes; at pH 6.8, two peaks at −0.90 V and −1.38 V, respectively, were obtained, which are related to the photochemical reduction processes. The photochemical degradation of imidacloprid caused by sunlight was polarographically monitored and its degradation products elucidated. The polarographic reduction of deaminometamitron (obtained by photochemical reduction of metamitron) yielded two peaks at −0.62 and −1.37 V, which are related to the reduction of the CN bonds. The effect of sunlight on the reduction of metamitron was monitored by DPP, and an increase of the concentration of the degradation products was observed with time. MEKC with UV-visible detection was used to separate the pesticides and the products of their photochemical degradation, which were identified in combination with DPP. © 1999 Society of Chemical Industry     

The residual activity of metribuzin in soil

The residual activity of 4-ammo-6-tert-butyl-3-(methylthio)-1,2,4-triazine-5-4(H)one (metribuzin) on indicator plants in Sassafras sandy loam soil was studied. Inhibition of coleoptile. radicle and primary root development were found at 1 ppm in oat (Avena sativa L., var. Beede) and at 5 ppm in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L., var. Pepino). At concentrations below 5 ppm, metribuzin stimulated the elongation of primary root and radicle in cucumber. After 46 days’ incubation. less than 1 ppm of the intact compound remained in soil without affecting the elongation of oat roots while its half life was approximately 6 days at 28deg;C incubation. L'activité résiduelle de la métribuzine dans le sol L'activité résiduelle de la 4-amino-6-t-butyl-3-(méthylthio)-1,2,4-tHazine-S-(4H)-one (métribuzine) a étéétudiée sur des plantes tests dans un sol sablo-limoneux de Sassafras. L'inhibition de la coléoptile, de la radicule et du développement de la racine primaire a été constatéà la dose de 1 ppm pour l'avoine (Avena sativa L. var. Beede) et à 5 ppm pour le concombre (Cucumis sativus L. var. Peplno). A des concentrations inférieures à 5 ppm, la métribuzine a stimulé l'élongation de la racine primaire et de la radicule du concomposé. Après 46 jours d'incubation, moins d'un ppm du composé intact restait dans le sol sans affecter l'élongation des racines d'avoine, alors que sa demi-vie a été approximativement de 6 jours à une température d'incubation de 28°C. Die Residualwirkung von Metribuzin im Boden Es wurde die Rcsidualwirkung von 4-Amino-6-tert,-butyl-3-(methylthio)-1,2,4-triazin-5-(4H)-one (Metribuzin) an Indikalorpflanzen in Sassafras-sandigem-Lehm untersucht. Bei 1 ppm war bei Hafer (Avena sativa L., Sorte Beede) die Entwicklung der Koleoptile, der Keim- und der Primär-wurzel gehemmt und bei 5 ppm desglcichen bei Gurke (Cucumis sativus L., Sorte Pepino). Bei Konzentrationen unter 5 ppm, förderte Metribuzin bei der Gurke die Streckung der Primär- und der Keimwurzel. Nach 46 Tagen Inkubation-szeit war weniger als 1 ppm der unveränderten Verbindung im Boden, was aber das Längenwachstum der Haferwurzeln nicht beeinträchtigte. Die Halbwertzeit betrug bei 28°C ungefahr 6 Tage.

Measurement of simazine residues in chickpeas,Cicer arietinum,by gas–liquid chromatography

A method is described for the measurement of simazine [2-chloro-4,6-bis(ethylamino)-1,3,5-triazine] residues in chickpeas (Cicer arietinum). Ground chickpea samples were extracted with dichloromethane, followed by clean-up on alumina. Gas-liquid chromatography using metribuzin [4-amino- 6-tert-butyl-4,5-dihydro-3-methylthio-1,2,4-triazin-5-one] as internal standard with thermionic detection was used to quantify simazine residues. The limit of detection was 0.02 mg kg^?1 and the recoveries of simazine from chickpea samples (0.1–4 mg kg-1) averaged 92%.

Melanin biosynthesis as a prerequisite for penetration by appressoria of Colletotrichum lagenarium: Site of inhibition by melanin-inhibiting fungicides and their action on appressoria

Melanin biosynthesis by appressoria was studied in relation to their penetrating ability using tricyclazole [5-methyl-1,2,4-triazolo(3,4-b)benzothiazole], pp 389 [4,5-dihydro-4-methyltetra-zolo(1,5-a)quinazolin-5-one], and pyroquilon [1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyrrolo(3,2,1-i,j)quinolin-4-one], and color mutants of Colletotrichum lagenarium. Tricyclazole at 100 μM inhibited melanin biosynthesis by appressoria of C. lagenairum 104-T, and caused accumulation of 3,4-dihydro-4,8-dihydroxy-1(2H)naphthalenone (DDN) in the culture medium. By contrast, DDN was not detected in culture media of tricyclazole-treated mutant 8015, which is defective in the enzyme involved in the conversion of scytalone to 1,3,8-trihydroxynaphthalene (1,3,8-THN). Vermelone restored melanization of appressoria of albino mutant 79215 and of the parent strain 104-T treated with tricyclazole, pp 389, and pyroquilon; however, scytalone restored melanization only in appressoria of albino mutant 79215. These results indicate that tricyclazole, pp 389, and pyroquilon inhibit the conversion of 1,3,8-THN to vermelone in the melanin biosynthetic pathway of appressoria of C. lagenarium. Colorless appressoria formed in the presence of the three melanin-inhibiting chemicals germinated laterally on nitrocellulose membranes and rarely penetrated the membranes. On the other hand, when pigmented appressoria were restored by application of vermelone in the presence of the three chemicals, lateral germination of the appressoria was largely suppressed, and the membranes were effectively penetrated. From these results, it is concluded that the major effect of tricyclazole, pp 389, and pyroquilon on appressoria of C. lagenarium, causing failure of penetration, is the inhibition of melanization. Effects of the chemicals on other metabolic functions can be precluded as significant factors affecting the penetration process.     

吡啶衍生物研究(IV):4-烃基-3-[(2-氯吡啶)-4-基]-1,2,4-三唑啉-5-硫酮的合成及抑制棉花立枯菌活性

Structural studies in azolylmethanes

The crystal structures of a number of fungicidal azolylmethanes are compared. In the benzyl compounds [1-aryl-4,4-dimethyl-2-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)pentan-3-ones, the corresponding pentan-3-ols, and 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(2-fluorophenyl)-2-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)propan-1-one], the benzyl and tert-butyl groups (or 4-chlorophenyl group) are trans, whereas in the analogous phenoxy compounds [1-(4-chlorophenoxy)-3,3-dimethyl-1-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)butan-2-one and the corresponding butan-2-ol], the tert-butyl groups are trans to the triazole and gauche to the phenoxy group. Coupling constants, determined by nuclear magnetic resonance (n.m.r.) spectroscopy, suggest that for some compounds there is one dominant solution conformation. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding, observed by infrared spectroscopy in two of the compounds, supports the findings by n.m.r. For some compounds, the crystal and solution conformations appear to be very similar, whereas in others they are quite different. Published data on the relative activity of the enantiomers of the benzyl- and phenoxy-compounds are discussed, but differences in the relative activity of enantiomers in the two series cannot be readily rationalised. It is concluded that different enantiomers may have different modes of binding at the active site.     

Effect of fungal metabolites and some derivatives against Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) and Nezara viridula (L.)

Two fungal metabolites, aspyrone (3-(1,2-epoxypropyl)-5-hydroxy-6-methyl-5,6-dihydropyran-2-one) and asperlactone (3-(1,2-epoxypropyl)-5-(1-hydroxyethyl)-5-furan-2-one) were isolated from an Aspergillus ochraceus Wilhelm strain showing IGR activity against Tribolium castaneum (Herbst). Synthetic derivatives of aspyrone were produced using published methods. These derivatives together with aspyrone and asperlactone were tested for insect growth-regulating activity against T. castaneum, and for ovicidal activity against Nezara viridula L. Of the compounds tested asperlactone appeared to be the most active.
