- Synthesis and evaluation of oryzalin analogs against Toxoplasma gondii
-
The synthesis and evaluation of 20 dinitroanilines and related compounds against the obligate intracellular parasite Toxoplasma gondii is reported. Using in vitro cultures of parasites in human fibroblasts, we determined that most of these compounds selectively disrupted Toxoplasma microtubules, and several displayed sub-micromolar potency against the parasite. The most potent compound was N1,N1-dipropyl-2,6-dinitro-4-(trifluoromethyl)-1,3- benzenediamine (18b), which displayed an IC50 value of 36 nM against intracellular T. gondii. Based on these data and another recent report [Ma, C.; Tran, J.; Gu, F.; Ochoa, R.; Li, C.; Sept, D.; Werbovetz, K.; Morrissette, N. Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 2010, 54, 1453], an antimitotic structure-activity relationship for dinitroanilines versus Toxoplasma is presented.

-
5,6-Dihydro-1,2,4,6-thiatriazin-5-one-1,1-dioxides of the formula STR1 where R1 is hydrogen, a metal atom or an unsubstituted or substituted ammonium radical, R2 is a saturated or unsaturated straight-chain aliphatic radical of up to 10 carbon atoms, a cycloaliphatic radical or 3 to 7 carbon atoms, a branched saturated or unsaturated aliphatic radical of 3 to 10 carbon atoms, a halogen-, alkoxy- or alkylmercapto-substituted aliphatic radical of 2 to 10 carbon atoms tetrahydrofuryl substituted methyl, a cycloalkoxy-substituted aliphatic radical of 4 to 10 carbon atoms, unsubstituted or halogen-substituted benzyl or phenyl, halophenyl, or alkylphenyl of a total of up to 10 carbon atoms, R3 is hydrogen, a straight-chain aliphatic radical of up to 10 carbon atoms, a cycloaliphatic radical of 3 to 7 carbon atoms, a branched aliphatic radical of 3 to 10 carbon atoms, haloalkyl, or alkoxyalkyl of 2 to 10 carbon atoms and X is oxygen and may also be sulfur if R2 is unsubstituted or halogen-substituted benzyl, processes for their preparation, and herbicides containing the above compounds.

- 3-Halo-2,6-dinitro-4-trifluoromethylaniline
-
3-Halo-2,6-dinitro-4-trifluoromethylanilines having hydrocarbon substituents on the nitrogen atom. The hydrocarbon substituents can be alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl or a portion of a heterocyclic group. The compounds are especially useful as intermediates for preparing herbicidal dinitro-1,3-phenylenediamines.
