Design, Synthesis, and Herbicidal Activity of Pyrimidinedione-Benzamide Derivatives as Potential Protoporphyrinogen IX Oxidase Inhibitors.
Weeds cause significant yield losses worldwide, and herbicides are essential for their control. Protoporphyrinogen IX oxidase (PPO) is a well-validated herbicide target. In this study, a series of pyrimidinedione benzamide derivatives (A1-A37) were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for herbicidal activity. Most comp...
