Design, Synthesis, and Biological Activity of Novel Phenyltriazolinone PPO Inhibitors Containing Five-Membered Heterocycles

Protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO, EC 1.3.3.4) catalyzes the oxidation of protoporphyrinogen IX to protoporphyrin IX, which is a key step in the synthesis of porphyrins in vivo. PPO inhibitors use protoporphyrinogen oxidase as the target and block the biosynthesis process of porphyrin by inhibiting the activity of the enzyme, eventually leading to plant death. In this paper, phenyl triazolinone was used as the parent structure, and the five-membered heterocycle with good herbicidal activity was introduced by using the principle of substructure splicing. According to the principle of bioisosterism, the sulfur atoms on the thiophene ring were replaced with oxygen atoms. Finally, 33 phenyl triazolinones and their derivatives were designed and synthesized, and their characterizations and biological activities were investigated. The in vitro PPO inhibitory activity and greenhouse herbicidal activity of 33 target compounds were determined, and compound D4 with better activity was screened out. The crop safety determination, field weeding effect determination, weeding spectrum determination, and crop metabolism study were carried out. The results showed that compound D4 showed good safety to corn, soybean, wheat, and peanut but poor selectivity to cotton. The field weeding effect of this compound is comparable to that of the commercial herbicide sulfentrazone. The herbicidal spectrum experiment showed that compound D4 had a wide herbicidal spectrum and a good growth inhibition effect on dicotyledonous weeds. Molecular docking results showed that compound D4 forms a hydrogen bond with amino acid residue Arg-98 in the tobacco mitochondria (mtPPO)-active pocket and forms two π-π stacking interactions with Phe-392. This indicates that compound D4 has stronger PPO inhibitory activity. This indicates that compound D4 has wide prospects for development.
