Abstract A number of 16 substituted diphenylamines have been tested for their inhibitory activity on photosynthetic NADP reduction and photophosphorylation. The most active compounds exhibited pI50 values of 6.0 in photosynthetic electron transport and 6.8 in cyclic photophosphorylation, respectively. The inhibition site in electron flow of the diphenylamines is located between the two photosystems. Necessary for high activity is the substitution of the phenyl moieties by several strongly electron withdrawing substituents. A quantitative structure activity relationship according to a parabolic Hansch approach could be accomplished by using the Hammett electronic parameter as the only variable.

Background: We screened a large library of differently decorated imidazo-pyrazole and pyrazole derivatives as possible new antitubercular agents and this preliminary screening showed that many compounds are able to totally inhibit Mycobacterium growth (>90 %). Among the most active compounds, we selected some new possible hits based on their similarities and, at the same time, on their novelty with respect to the pipeline drugs. </P><P> Methods: In order to increase the potency and obtain more information about structure-activity relationship (SAR), we designed and synthesized three new series of compounds (2a–e, 3a–e, and 4a–l). Conclusion: Performed tests confirmed that both new pyrazoles and imidazo-pyrazoles could represent a new starting point to obtain more potent compounds and further work is now underway to identify the protein targets of this new class of anti-TB agents.

3-Aminoalkylidene-2H-pyran-2,4(3H)-diones (APs), possessing a conjugated enamino moiety which is common to cyanoacrylates and 2-aminoalkylidenecyclohexane-1,3-diones (ACs), were found as a new class of photosynthetic electron transport inhibitors. Although the structural requirement of APs for photosynthetic electron transport inhibition was very similar to that of cyanoacrylates and ACs, thermoluminescence measurements indicated that the binding manner of APs to D 1 protein was totally different from that of other inhibitors.
