pentas/nicotine

Plants have developed sophisticated recognition systems for different kinds of pathogens. Pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) can induce various defense mechanisms, e.g., the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as an early event. Plant defense reactions are initiated by a signal

penta-1,4-diene-3-one oxime ether and quinazolin-4(3H)-one derivatives possess favorable agricultural activities. Aiming to discover novel molecules with highly-efficient agricultural activities, a series of penta-1,4-diene-3-one oxime ether derivatives

A series of novel phosphorylated penta-1,4-dien-3-one derivatives were designed and synthesized. The structures of all title compounds were determined by ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, ³¹P-NMR, and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). Bioassay results showed that several of the title

A series of penta-1,4-diene-3-one oxime ether derivatives were synthesized, and their antiviral and antifungal activities were evaluated. Bioactivity evaluations showed that most target compounds had significant antiviral effects against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). Among them,

The title compound, [W(C(10)H(14)N(2))(CO)(5)], contains five carbonyl ligands and a nicotine ligand in an octa-hedral arrangement around the tungsten atom. The metal atom shows cis angles in the range 87.30 (16)-94.2 (2)°, and trans angles between 175.2 (2) and 178.1 (4)°. The W-CO bond trans to

Plant-associated microorganisms are known to produce a variety of metabolites with novel structures and interesting biological activities. An endophytic fungus FJBJ11, isolated from the plant tissue of Brucea javanica (L.) Merr. (Simaroubaceae), was proven to be significantly effective in producing
