A series of 5-substituted pyrimidine derivatives was synthesized, and their ability to inhibit brassinosteroid biosynthesis was tested. The biological activity of these compounds was evaluated by the cress stem elongation method. Among the synthesized compounds, α-(4-chlorophenyl)-α-phenyl-5-pyrimidinemethanol (DPPM 4) exhibited potent inhibitory activity for retarding cress stem elongation in the light. This inhibition was reversed by the application of 10 nM brassinolide, but not by 1 μM GA3. DPPM 4 also affected Arabidopsis growth in the dark. DPPM 4-treated Arabidopsis had phenotypes like those of brassinosteroid-deficient mutants, with short hypocotyls and open cotyledons, in the dark. These biological changes were restored by the co-application of 10 nM brassinolide, but not by 1 μM GA3, suggesting that the primary site of action of DPPM 4 was the brassinosteroid biosynthetic pathway.
我们合成了一系列 5-取代的嘧啶衍生物,并测试了它们抑制铜绿素生物合成的能力。这些化合物的生物活性通过茎伸长法进行了评估。在合成的化合物中,α-(4-氯苯基)-α-苯基-5-嘧啶甲醇(DPPM 4)在光照下对延缓芹菜茎的伸长有很强的抑制作用。施用 10 nM 黄铜内酯可逆转这种抑制作用,但 1 μM GA3 则不能。DPPM 4 还影响拟南芥在黑暗中的生长。经 DPPM 4 处理的拟南芥在黑暗中的表型与黄铜类固醇缺乏的突变体相似,下胚轴短小,子叶开裂。同时施用 10 nM 的黄铜素内酯可恢复这些生物变化,而施用 1 μM GA3 则无法恢复,这表明 DPPM 4 的主要作用部位是黄铜素类固醇生物合成途径。
