Abstract Substituted phenyl-hydroxy pyrrolone derivatives are potential herbicides and are found to be effective inhibitors of photosynthetic electron flow in chloroplasts. Their site of inhibition is localized at the acceptor side of photosystem II similar to DCMU. They have no effect on photophosphoryla­tion. The correlation of photosynthetic acitivity to chemical structure is studied by comparing 36 derivatives. A clear dependence of inhibitory activity on lipophilicity is found. The dependence of herbicidal activity on chemical structure is more complex.

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.

Abstract 1.4-benzoquinones have been tested for their inhibitory activity on photosynthetic NADP+ reduction by chloroplasts. Benzoquinones with one or two branched alkyl side chains are inhibitors of electron flow. Inhibitory activity can be highly increased if one - and even more if two - halogen substitutents are introduced into the quinone moiety. Iodine substitution yields a better inhibitor than bromine than chlorine. A quantitative structure activity relationship according to a bilinear model, as developed by Kubinyi, with the lipophilicity as the only parameter could be established.

Abstract The influence of the aminotriazinone herbicide Metribuzin on photosynthetic reactions of isolated chloroplasts is investigated. Metribuzin inhibits all Hill-reactions when water is the electron donor, but not photoreductions by photosystem I at the expense of an artificial electron donor. The PI50-value is 6.7. Cyclic photophosphorylation is not affected by Metribuzin. Measurements of the prompt and delayed fluorescence of the photosynthetically active chlorophyll support the notion, that Metribuzin inhibits photosynthetic electron flow between the primary and secondary electron acceptor of photosystem II (Q and plastoquinone). The relationship of inhibitory potency to chemical structure is investigated by comparing a number of related aminotriazinones. The effect of various substituents is discussed.
