Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of agricultural herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides, and relates to the synthesis and application of KARI inhibitors, specifically to a xanthine derivative containing an aromatic amino group, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] The control of weeds, plant diseases, and pests is of great significance for the smooth operation of various industries, including agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, sideline production, fisheries, and public health. Pesticides play a crucial role in this process. Finding highly active pesticides with novel structures and superior performance to increase crop yields and overcome the shortcomings of traditional pesticides is a long-term and arduous task.
[0003] Structural modification and optimization of bioactive natural products is a practical approach to designing and discovering new agrochemicals. Generally, compounds designed using this method are more likely to exhibit high bioactivity and good biocompatibility. Xanthine alkaloids, represented by theophylline (1,3-dimethylxanthine), caffeine, and theobromine, are widely found in various plants and have been found to possess potential insecticidal and antibacterial activities. These compounds are closely related to people's diets and often exhibit low toxicity. Research on these compounds has mainly focused on the pharmaceutical field, with various natural and synthetic xanthines and their derivatives used to treat neurodegenerative diseases, respiratory diseases, kidney diseases, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases. However, research and application of these compounds in the pesticide field are relatively limited and require further exploration. Therefore, research on structural modification and transformation of xanthine alkaloids to obtain novel, environmentally friendly, and highly efficient pesticide molecules has considerable development potential and application prospects. Furthermore, ketool acid reductase (KARI) is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of branched-chain amino acids, existing only in plants and microorganisms. Herbicides and fungicides designed using KARI as pesticide targets theoretically have the advantage of safety for humans and mammals, aligning with the research direction of green pesticides. The synthesis and screening of new compounds that inhibit KARI activity is of great significance in the research and development of new pesticides. In the prior art, there is no publicly available method for preparing a xanthine derivative containing aromatic amino groups, as reported in this invention, nor is its application as an agricultural herbicide, insecticide, fungicide, and KARI inhibitor.

[0090] Examples of bioactivity testing for compounds of general formula I
[0091] Example 9
[0092] The herbicidal activity of the compounds provided by this invention was determined.
[0093] (1) Plate method: Using rapeseed (Brassica campestris) as the test object, a 5.6 cm diameter filter paper was placed in a 6 cm diameter petri dish, and 2 mL of the test compound solution with a concentration of 100 μg / mL or 10 μg / mL was poured in (the compound was dissolved in DMF and then diluted with distilled water to the required concentration). 15 rapeseed seeds that had been soaked in distilled water for 4 hours were added to the petri dish. The petri dish was then placed at 28±1℃ and cultured in the dark for 65 hours. The length of the radicle was then measured. The herbicidal activity of the compound was detected by inhibiting the growth of the rapeseed radicle under dark conditions. The inhibition rate was obtained by comparing the compound with the blank control.
[0094] (2) Small cup method: Using barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli) as the test object, glass beads and filter paper were placed in a 50 mL beaker, and 6 mL of the test compound solution with a concentration of 100 μg / mL or 10 μg / mL was poured in (the compound was dissolved in DMF and then diluted with distilled water to the required concentration). Ten barnyard grass seeds that had just sprouted were added to the beaker. The beaker was then placed at 28±1℃ and cultured under light for 65 hours. The height of the seedlings was then measured. The herbicidal activity of the compound was detected by inhibiting the growth of barnyard grass seedling height under light conditions. The inhibition rate was obtained by comparing the compound with the blank control.
[0095] The growth inhibition rates of some of the general formula I compounds obtained by the above plate method and small cup method on rapeseed and barnyard grass are shown in Table 3.
[0096] Table 3 shows the growth inhibition rates of some compounds of general formula I on rapeseed and barnyard grass.
[0097]
[0098]
[0099] (3) Pot method: Using rapeseed (Brassica campestris), amaranth (Amaranthus retroflexus), barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli), and crabgrass (Digitaria adscendens) as test subjects, a fixed amount of soil was placed in 7.0 cm diameter paper cups, an appropriate amount of water was added, and after sowing, a fixed thickness of soil was added. The plants were then moved to a greenhouse for cultivation. Before seedling emergence, the seedlings were covered with plastic sheeting, and a fixed amount of water was applied daily to maintain normal plant growth. The experiment was divided into soil treatment (conducted before seedling emergence, i.e., spraying the soil with different corresponding doses of herbicide before sowing) and foliar treatment (conducted after seedling emergence, i.e., spraying the stems and leaves with different corresponding doses of herbicide during the seedling stage). The experimental results were investigated 15 days after treatment, and the fresh weight of the above-ground parts was measured. The fresh weight inhibition rate was calculated by comparing the results with the untreated group to measure the herbicidal effect of the compound.

[0104] Example 10
[0105] The insecticidal activity of the compounds provided by this invention was determined.
[0106] Bioactivity assay against diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella Linnaeus): The insecticidal activity against diamondback moth was tested using the leaf-dip method. The test compound was dissolved in 1 mL of DMF, then diluted with distilled water to prepare a solution of the corresponding test concentration. Cabbage leaves (5 × 1 cm) were then immersed in the solution for 3–5 seconds. After removing the excess solution and allowing the leaves to dry, they were placed in 10 cm long test tubes and inoculated with 10 second-instar diamondback moth larvae. Three groups were prepared for each sample, and the room temperature was maintained at 25 ± 1℃. The blank control consisted of larvae reared by immersing cabbage leaves in a diluted DMF solution. Results were recorded after 72 hours. Inactivity was considered the mortality criterion for larvae. The lethality of the test compound against diamondback moth larvae was assessed using a range of 0–100% (lethality rate), where 0% indicated no insecticidal effect and 100% indicated complete killing.
[0107] The results of the above insecticidal activity tests are shown in Table 5.

[0122] The KARI inhibitory activity was tested using the compound of general formula I provided by this invention.
[0123] Test Methods: KARI was expressed in large quantities in *E. coli* cells transformed with a recombinant plasmid (containing the rice KARI gene). The interaction between the compound and KARI was studied under in vitro conditions. A dynamic analysis method was used. Appropriate amounts of inhibitor solution, 0.1 mol / L Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), 0.2 mmol / L NADPH, 1 mmol / L MgCl2, and an appropriate amount of rice KARI protein were mixed in a cuvette and incubated at 30°C for 10 minutes.

The slope of the initial linear change (ΔOD) was used as the starting point for the reaction. 340 The initial enzyme activity was represented by absorbance at 340 nm ( / min). The absorbance was continuously recorded at 340 nm (to monitor the reduction of NADPH) to obtain the inhibition curve of the inhibitor on KARI enzyme activity. The inhibition rate was then calculated by comparing it with the blank control. The results are shown in Table 6.
[0124] Table 6 shows the inhibitory activity of some compounds of general formula I against KARI at a concentration of 200 mg / L.
