The search for new herbicide mechanisms of action: Is there a 'holy grail'?

Stephen O. Duke et al.

Summary: The demand for new herbicide modes of action has surged due to the evolving resistance of weeds to existing commercial herbicides. Natural products possess many potential new modes of action that have not been utilized by current herbicides, but have yet to be developed for various reasons. Efforts are being made to identify new herbicide targets through pharmaceutical target sites, metabolomic and proteomic information, and the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning. It is likely that new herbicides with new modes of action will be introduced within the next decade to address herbicide resistance management.

Fluorine-containing agrochemicals in the last decade and approaches for fluorine incorporation

Qiang Wang et al.

Summary: This review describes the methodologies for fluorine incorporation of 40 fluorine-containing agrochemicals that have received an ISO name in the past decade. The predominant approach for fluorine introduction is through the use of fluorine-containing building blocks. The synthetic methods for hard-to-obtain fluorine-containing building blocks are specifically discussed. The main building blocks used include fluoroarenes, difluoromethylarenes, and trifluoromethylarenes, as well as fluorine-containing small molecules such as alcohols, amines, ketoesters, and olefins. The review also mentions the application of late-stage fluorination in the synthesis of the fungicide quinofumelin, and emphasizes the potential of these fluorine introduction methods in the development of new and economical pesticide synthetic routes.

cropCSM: designing safe and potent herbicides with graph-based signatures

Douglas E. Pires et al.

Summary: Herbicides have played a significant role in weed management, increasing crop yields, and improving food security. However, their widespread use has also led to resistance and environmental concerns. Despite the need for new herbicides with different mechanisms of action, there have been no new herbicides introduced in the market for the past three decades. To address this gap, researchers have developed cropCSM, a computational platform for identifying new, potent, non-toxic, and environmentally safe herbicides. This platform uses knowledge-based approaches and predictive models to guide herbicide design and prioritize screening libraries.

Phytotoxicity test in check: Proposition of methodology for comparison of different method adaptations usually used worldwide

Pablo Machado Mendes et al.

Summary: Seed germination tests are widely used to indicate toxicity levels in samples, with lettuce being a main indicative species due to its high sensitivity. However, there is a lack of standardization worldwide, leading to variations in phytotoxicity tests. The proposed methodology aims to compare these variations globally, providing a standardized approach for comparing phytotoxicity levels across regions.

Design, synthesis, and herbicidal activity of novel phenoxypyridine derivatives containing natural product coumarin

Li-Xia Zhao et al.

Summary: The study focused on designing and synthesizing novel PPO inhibitor herbicides by linking a diphenylether pyridine bioisostere structure to substituted coumarins. A total of 21 compounds were synthesized and characterized, with compound IV-6 showing better herbicidal activity in greenhouse and field experiments compared to the commercial herbicide oxyfluorfen.

What makes a molecule a pre- or a post-herbicide - how valuable are physicochemical parameters for their design?

Hansjorg Kraehmer et al.

Summary: Pre-emergence herbicides are taken up by seeds before germination and by roots, hypocotyls, cotyledons, coleoptiles or leaves before emergence, while post-emergence herbicides are primarily absorbed by foliage and stems. The metabolic conversion of herbicides after plant uptake is crucial for some compound classes. The cellular site of action plays a major role in the effectiveness of herbicides on plants.

Comprehensive machine learning based study of the chemical space of herbicides

Davor Orsolic et al.

Summary: The study utilized Random Forest modeling to build predictive models and provide a comprehensive characterization of structure-activity relationships for herbicides based on their MoAs and weed selectivity. A virtual screening platform was proposed for evaluating small weight molecules for their phytotoxic properties by combining predictive models with herbicide-likeness rules defined by selected molecular features.

Chitosan/tripolyphosphate nanoformulation carrying paraquat: insights on its enhanced herbicidal activity

Montcharles S. Pontes et al.

Summary: This study investigated the target effect of paraquat-loaded chitosan/tripolyphosphate nanoparticles on photosystem I, revealing a significant decrease in lipid peroxidation, photooxidizable P700 reaction centre content, and NADPH/NADP(+) ratio levels in spinach leaf tissue exposed to the nanoherbicide compared to non-encapsulated herbicide. Molecular docking results showed a preferential disposition of the herbicide near FAD and Glu312. The findings suggest that the redox behavior of paraquat may play a key role in enhancing the efficiency of nanoherbicides at the target binding site.
