Tetrahydroquinolinyl phosphinamidates and phosphonamidates enhancing tolerance towards drought stress in crops via interaction with ABA receptor proteins - United Kingom : Elsevier, 2020.

Peer review

New phosphorous-containing lead structures against drought stress in crops interacting with RCAR/(PYR/PYL) receptor proteins were identified starting from in-depth SAR studies of related sulfonamide lead structures and protein docking studies. A converging 6-step synthesis via phosphinic chlorides and phosphono chloridates as key intermediates afforded envisaged tetrahydroquinolinyl phosphinamidates and phosphonamidates. Whilst tetrahydroquinolinyl phosphonamidates 13a,b exhibited low to moderate target affinities, the corresponding tetrahydroquinolinyl phosphinamidates 12a,b revealed confirmed strong affinities for RCAR/ (PYR/PYL) receptor proteins in Arabidopsis thaliana on the same level as essential plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) combined with promising efficacy against drought stress in vivo (broad-acre crops wheat and canola).
