Mode of Action of Novel 2-(Benzylamino)-4-methyl-6-(trifluoro- methyl)-1,3,5-triazine Herbicides: Inhibition of Photosynthetic Electron Transport and Binding Studies
文摘
Novel 2-(benzylamino)-4-methyl-6-(trifluoromethyl)-1,3,5-triazines have the same 1,3,5-triazineskeleton as atrazine, although some of them, for example, 2-(3-chlorobenzylamino)-4-methyl-6-(trifluoromethyl)-1,3,5-triazine [pI50(spinach) = 7.21], show a >3 times stronger photosyntheticelectron transport inhibitory activity than atrazine [pI50(spinach) = 6.72]. The new triazines haveonly one amino group at the triazine ring, and their molecular shapes are different from atrazine.The replacement of the bound [14C]atrazine by 1,3,5-triazines was tested to determine whether thenovel 1,3,5-triazine analogues exhibit the same binding pattern at the D1-protein as atrazine. Itwas found that [14C]atrazine bound to the D1-protein was replaced by the triazine tested by a clearlycompetitive interaction. Obviously, the novel 1,3,5-triazines are attached to the same binding nicheas atrazine.Keywords: (Benzylamino)-1,3,5-triazines; D1-protein; binding partners; replacement; atrazine-resistant Chenopodium
