Shielding Metabolic Hotspots in the Triketone-Quinoline Scaffold Yields Potent 4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate Dioxygenase Inhibitors.
4-羟基苯基丙酮酸双加氧酶(HPPD;EC 1.13.11.27)是现代除草剂发现的重要靶标。为将HPPD抑制剂转化为有效的除草剂候选物,我们开发了一种以代谢为导向的设计策略,以提高三酮-喹啉类HPPD抑制剂的体内药效。通过屏蔽骨架内的代谢热点,我们发现了一系列新的类似物,其芽后除草活性普遍提高,对拟南芥HPPD(AtHPPD)的抑制作用也显著增强。值得注意的是,化合物9i对AtHPPD的Ki值为0.0012 μM,优于硝磺草酮一个数量级。化合物11b不仅在15.625-250 g ai/ha剂量下表现出优异的杂草防效,而且在250 g ai/ha剂量下对小麦表现出较高的作物安全性。分子模拟表明,喹啉取代可增强与Phe360和Phe403的π-π相互作用,从而提高生物活性。我们的工作建立了一个代谢导向的除草剂发现优化框架,并提供了一个有前景的小麦选择性除草剂候选物。
4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD; EC 1.13.11.27) is an important target for modern herbicide discovery. To translate HPPD inhibitors into effective herbicide candidates, we developed a metabolism-oriented design strategy to improve the in vivo efficacy of triketone-quinoline HPPD inhibitors. By shielding the metabolic hotspots within the scaffold, we discovered a series of new analogues with broadly improved postemergence herbicidal activity and substantially enhanced inhibition of Arabidopsis thaliana HPPD (AtHPPD). Notably, 9i showed a Ki value of 0.0012 μM toward AtHPPD, outperforming mesotrione by an order of magnitude. 11b not only exhibited excellent weed control at 15.625-250 g ai/ha, but also showed high crop safety to wheat at 250 g ai/ha. Molecular simulations showed that quinoline substitutions could enhance π-π interactions with Phe360 and Phe403, improving bioactivity. Our work establishes a metabolism-guided optimization framework for herbicide discovery and provides a promising wheat-selective herbicide candidate.
