Design, Synthesis, and Herbicidal Activity of Indole-Containing Fusarium Acid Derivatives Targeting Transketolase.
Transketolase (TKL; EC 2.2.1.1) has been validated as a potential new herbicide target. To develop a new and highly effective herbicides-targeted TKL, a series of indole-containing fusarium acid (FA) derivatives 9a-9s were designed and synthesized. Among them, compound 9o exhibited more excellent herbicidal activity ag...
