Discovery of Novel N -Phenylpyrazole Derivatives as Protoporphyrinogen IX Oxidase Inhibitors

Protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO) is one of the major targets for herbicide discovery. N-Phenylpyrazole derivatives bearing ester, oxime, and isoxazoline moieties were synthesized via isomerization, derivatization and cyclization. Bioassays showed C34 potently inhibited Nicotiana tabacum PPO (NtPPO) (Ki = 15.6 nM), wi...
