Article Abstract
The surface modification of commercial TiO Hombikat (TiO) using nanoparticles of fullerene C with tetrahydrofuran (THF-nC), as well as fullerenol C(OH) nanoparticles (FNP) was investigated in this study. Characterization of THF-nC, FNP, TiO, TiO/THF-nC, and TiO/FNP was studied by using DES, ELS, TEM, SEM, DRS and BET measurements and their photoactivity has been examined on the mesotrione degradation under simulated sunlight. It was found that FNP in self-assembled nanocomposite TiO/FNP increased negatively charge, as well as catalytic surface of TiO. In addition, TiO/FNP exhibits a shift of band gap energy to lower values compared to TiO and TiO/THF-nC. BET surface area has not showed significant differences among catalysts. Furthermore, it was found that the highest photoactivity was obtained for TiO/FNP system. Besides, influence of different concentrations of electron acceptors (HO and KBrO), as well as scavengers on the kinetics of mesotrione removal in aqueous solution with/without TiO and FNP under simulated sunlight was investigated. Namely, addition of mentioned electron acceptors has resulted in higher mesotrione degradation efficiency compared to O alone. Besides, in the first period substrate degradation probably takes place via hydroxyl radicals and after 60 min of irradiation the reaction mechanism proceeds mainly via holes. The most efficient system for mesotrione degradation and mineralization were TiO/7 mM KBrO and TiO/7 mM KBrO/40 μl FNP, respectively.

Plants require cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR) to supply two electrons for cytochrome P450 monooxygenase enzymes (P450) to react with an organic substrate. The transfer of electrons to the P450 active site in the P450 catalytic site relies on a robust and intricate CPR:P450 complex in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Transgenic Arabidopsis plants carrying from , which metabolizes a broad spectrum of herbicides, were crossed with CPR knockout or mutant lines.

Sulcotrione and mesotrione are novel plant 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) inhibitors. The overuse of these herbicides can bring the risk to environment and human. In this study, multispectral methods, density functional theory (DFT) calculations, and molecular docking techniques were used to investigate how sulcotrione and mesotrione interact with human serum albumin (HSA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA).

4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) has been an essential target enzyme in recent studies on herbicide discovery. In this study, a series of 3-hydroxy-2-(6-phenylnicotinoyl)cyclohex-2-en-1-one derivatives were rationally designed following the active substructure combination principle, yielding potent novel HPPD inhibiting herbicides. The title compounds were characterized using infrared spectroscopy (IR), H and C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopies (NMR), and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS).

Background: Insecticide resistance in disease-transmitting arthropods of agricultural, veterinary, and public health significance poses a significant threat to vector control programs worldwide. Previous studies demonstrated that blood-feeding arthropod vectors experience high mortality when ingesting blood containing inhibitors of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD), the second enzyme in tyrosine metabolism. This study investigated the mosquitocidal efficacy of HPPD inhibitors from the β-triketone class of herbicides against both susceptible and pyrethroid-resistant strains of three major disease vector species, including mosquitoes that transmit historical diseases such as malaria, reemerging infections such as dengue and Zika, and emerging viral threats such as Oropouche and Usutu viruses.
