AI Article Synopsis
- Pyridachlometyl is a new fungicide belonging to the pyridazine class, developed through a unique process of simplifying previous compounds for effectiveness.
- The research began with a potent lead compound, diphenyl-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine, and evolved by exploring simpler monocyclic structures that maintained similar biological activity.
- Ultimately, the development of pyridachlometyl showed promise for commercial use, demonstrating both effective fungicidal properties and mammalian safety.
Article Abstract
Pyridachlometyl is a unique pyridazine fungicide with a novel mode of action. Herein, we describe the pathway for the invention of pyridachlometyl. First, we identified a diphenyl-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine as our proprietary lead with potent fungicidal activity. Then, aiming to simplify the chemical structure, we applied judicious estimations to explore monocyclic heterocycles as pharmacophores. This enabled the identification of a novel class of tetrasubstituted pyridazine compounds with potent fungicidal activity, likely retaining the same mode of action as the aforementioned compounds. The findings indicated bioisosteric similarity between diphenyl-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine and pyridazine. Further structure-activity and mammalian safety investigations of pyridazine compounds resulted in the discovery of pyridachlometyl as a candidate for commercial development.
