N-PHTHALOYLGLYCINE-DERIVED STRIGOL-ANALOGS - INFLUENCE OF THE D-RING ON SEED-GERMINATION ACTIVITY OF THE PARASITIC WEEDS STRIGA-HERMONTHICAAND OROBANCHE-CRENATA
Jwjf. Thuring et al., N-PHTHALOYLGLYCINE-DERIVED STRIGOL-ANALOGS - INFLUENCE OF THE D-RING ON SEED-GERMINATION ACTIVITY OF THE PARASITIC WEEDS STRIGA-HERMONTHICAAND OROBANCHE-CRENATA, Journal of agricultural and food chemistry, 45(6), 1997, pp. 2284-2290
Several strigol analogues with modifications in the D-ring were synthe
sized and assayed for germination stimulatory activity of seeds of Str
iga hermonthica and Orobanche crenata. All of these D-ring analogues a
re derived from N-phthaloylglycine as the common ABC-fragment. It was
concluded that the correct structure of the 2(5H)-furanone D-ring is e
ssential to retain full biological activity.
