Article Abstract
Background: Succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) fungicides play important roles in the control of plant fungal diseases. However, they are facing serious challenges from issues with resistance and cross-resistance, primarily attributed to their frequent application and structural similarities. There is an urgent need to design and develop SDHI fungicides with novel structures.
Results: Aiming to discover novel potent SDHI fungicides, 31 innovative pyrazole β-ketonitrile derivatives with diphenyl ether moiety were rationally designed and synthesized, which were guided by a 3D-QSAR model from our previous study. The optimal target compound A23 exhibited not only outstanding in vitro inhibitory activities against Rhizoctonia solani with a half-maximal effective concentration (EC) value of 0.0398 μg mL comparable to that for fluxapyroxad (EC = 0.0375 μg mL), but also a moderate protective efficacy in vivo against rice sheath blight. Porcine succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) enzymatic inhibitory assay revealed that A23 is a potent inhibitor of SDH, with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration of 0.0425 μm. Docking study within R. solani SDH indicated that A23 effectively binds into the ubiquinone site mainly through hydrogen-bonds, and cation-π and π-π interactions.
Conclusion: The identified β-ketonitrile compound A23 containing diphenyl ether moiety is a potent SDH inhibitor, which might be a good lead for novel fungicide research and optimization. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Fomesafen (FSA), a diphenyl ether herbicide, causes toxicity to non-target organisms and subsequent crops. Vermi-remediation is advocated as an effective remediation method, but there has been no research on the isolation and mechanism of FSA-degradation strains from earthworm gut. In this study, three ecotypes of earthworms- Eisenia foetida (epigeic), Metaphire guillelmi (anecic), and Aporrectodea caliginosa (endogenic), were used to investigate the degradation mechanism of FSA in soil-plant-earthworm systems for the first time.

Gestational polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) exposures have been associated with thyroid disruption in pregnant women and adverse neurobehavioral outcomes in their children, but it is unknown if they interfere with children's sleep patterns. We assessed gestational PBDE exposure (16 weeks) and child sleep patterns from ages 2 to 8 years using 410 mother-child dyads in the Health Outcomes and Measures of the Environment (HOME) Study. Gestational biomarkers of serum PBDEs include PBDE-153 (GM±GSD: 5.

The global production and use of polybrominated diphenyl ethers, including 2,2',4,4'-tetrabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-47), have been substantially curtailed in recent decades. However, BDE-47 remains ubiquitously detectable in environmental matrices and human tissues worldwide. In this study, we investigated whether prenatal exposure to BDE-47 disrupts sperm function and DNA methylation in rat offspring.

4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) and protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO) are recognized as pivotal targets for the development of environmentally friendly herbicides. In this work, a series of pyrazole derivatives containing a diphenyl ether moiety were designed and synthesized as dual-targeted HPPD/PPO inhibitors using pharmacophore merging and linking design strategies. The bioassays demonstrated that compound exhibited the best inhibitory activity against both HPPD (HPPD) and PPO (PPO) with the IC values of 0.

Targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint pathway with small molecules has exhibited great promise. Herein, to develop the inhibitors with good activity, pharmacokinetic properties and druggability, a novel series of halogens substituted derivatives at the 2-position of the biphenyl group were synthesized, screened, and their inhibitory activity against the PD-1/PD-L1 protein-protein interaction (PPI) was evaluated through a HTRF assay. Among them, YPD-29B exhibited potent activity with IC value of less than 1 pM.
