SAR studies of 2-o-substituted-benzoyl- and 2-alkanoyl-cyclohexane-1,3-diones as inhibitors of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2000 May 1;10(9):843-5. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(00)00115-3.

Abstract

Inhibition studies of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) with various synthesized 2-o-substituted-benzoyl- and 2-alkanoyl-cyclohexane-1,3-diones suggest that the presence of a strongly electronegative group at the ortho position and the conformation of the benzene ring moiety on the benzoylcyclohexane-1,3-dione inhibitors are crucial for potent HPPD inhibition.
