It was the late Professor Kenji Mori, the giant of pheromone synthesis and pioneer of pheromone stereochemistry, who laid the foundation for the practical application of insect pheromones, which play an important role in Integrated Pest Management, one of the key concepts of agriculture in the 21st century. Therefore, it would be meaningful to retrace his achievements at this time, three and a half years after his death. In this review, we would like to introduce some of his notable synthetic studies from his Pheromone Synthesis Series and reconfirm his contributions to the development of pheromone chemistry and their impacts on natural science.

The species selectivity of class 2 dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH), a target enzyme for quinofumelin, was examined. The Homo sapiens DHODH (HsDHODH) assay system was developed to compare the selectivity of quinofumelin for fungi with that for mammals. The IC50 values of quinofumelin for Pyricularia oryzae DHODH (PoDHODH) and HsDHODH were 2.8 nM and >100 µM, respectively. Quinofumelin was highly selective for fungal over human DHODH. Additionally, we constructed recombinant P. oryzae mutants where PoDHODH (PoPYR4) or HsDHODH was inserted into the PoPYR4 disruption mutant. At quinofumelin concentration of 0.01-1 ppm, the PoPYR4 insertion mutants could not grow, but the HsDHODH gene-insertion mutants thrived. This indicates that HsDHODH is a substitute for PoDHODH, and quinofumelin could not inhibit HsDHODH as in the HsDHODH enzyme assay. Comparing the amino acid sequences of human and fungal DHODHs indicates that the significant difference at the ubiquinone-binding site contributes to the species selectivity of quinofumelin.

We investigated the synthesis and herbicidal activity of optically active cinmethylin, its enantiomer, and C3-substituted cinmethylin analogs. Optically active cinmethylin could be obtained in seven steps with the Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation of α-terpinene. The synthesized cinmethylin and its enantiomer showed similar herbicidal activity, which was independent of the stereochemistry. Next, we synthesized cinmethylin analogs with various substituents at the C3 position. We found that analogs with methylene, oxime, ketone, or methyl groups at the C3 position show excellent herbicidal activity.

Developed by Mitsui Chemicals Agro, Inc. (Tokyo, Japan), quinofumelin is a novel fungicide with a distinct chemical structure including 3-(isoquinolin-1-yl) quinoline, demonstrating fungicidal activity against a variety of fungi, including rice blast and gray mold. We screened our compound library to identify curative compounds for rice blast and evaluated the effect of fungicide-resistant strains of gray mold. Our research demonstrated that quinofumelin has curative effects against rice blast and is not cross-resistant to existing fungicides. Accordingly, the use of quinofumelin can be considered a novel approach for disease control in agricultural production. In this report, the discovery of quinofumelin from the initial compound is described in detail.

Spiral roots are induced in germinated rice seeds through treatment with nanomolar brassinosteroids (BRs) but not with other plant hormones. Here, we determined the minimum effective concentration (MEC) of various BRs to induce spiral roots in germinated rice seeds. The reciprocal logarithm of MEC, pMEC, was used as the BL-like activity index, which was linearly correlated with the reciprocal logarithm of a 50% effective dose (pED50) as evaluated in the rice lamina inclination assay. Furthermore, a ligand-receptor docking simulation was performed against the BL receptor complex, Arabidopsis thaliana BRI1/SERK1, and the binding free energy (ΔGbind) was calculated for the tested BRs. The ΔGbind calculation was performed using the molecular mechanics/generalized Born surface area method on an ensemble of uncorrelated snapshots collected via molecular dynamics to predict biological activity.

Flometoquin, 2-ethyl-3,7-dimethyl-6-[4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenoxy]quinolin-4-yl methyl carbonate, is a novel insecticide with a structurally unique phenoxy-quinoline. It was discovered in 2004 by the collaborative research of Nippon Kayaku and Meiji Seika Kaisha, Ltd. (currently, Mitsui Chemicals Crop & Life Solutions, Inc.). The compound demonstrates strong and quick insecticidal action against a variety of thrips species at the nymphal and adult stages through contact and feeding activity, which could minimize crop damage and economic loss by insect pest species. In addition, flometoquin is safe for tested non-target arthropods, which makes it suitable for controlling the insect pests mentioned above under Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs. Here, we describe a structure–activity relationship study from lead generation to the discovery of flometoquin and its insecticidal properties, including knockdown activity and effects against non-targeted arthropods.

Four nitromethylene analogues of imidacloprid (CH-IMIs) having a 4,5-dimethylated (diMe) imidazolidine ring were stereospecifically synthesized to evaluate their affinity for the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors of the housefly Musca domestica. Among the analogues, the 4S,5R-diMe analogue showed the highest receptor affinity (Ki=0.39 nM). The insecticidal activity against M. domestica of the synthesized compounds was also measured under synergistic and nonsynergistic conditions. Under nonsynergistic conditions, the insecticidal activity of the 4S,5R-diMe analogue was the highest. The order of the insecticidal potency of the four diMe-CH-IMIs (4S,5R->4R,5S-=4R,5R->4S,5S-diMe analogues) was the same as that of the receptor affinity. Piperonyl butoxide (PBO) did not synergize with the test compounds, but both PBO and NIA16388 applications strengthened the activity of analogues other than the 4S,5S-diMe analogue. This suggests that the configuration of the substituents on the imidazolidine ring should influence the metabolism process of CH-IMI in houseflies.

We developed a simulation model for predicting pesticide concentrations in succeeding leafy vegetables (PostPLANT-Soil), which includes the process of pesticide uptake from plant roots. To validate the model, we compared pesticide concentrations simulated by the model with values measured from field experiments in an upland Andosol. The model validation showed that pesticide concentrations in the plant shoot were correlated with the concentrations in the soil solution rather than those of the water-extracted pesticides. The model successfully simulated the concentration changes in plant shoots when the simulated concentrations of the pesticides in the soil solution were fitted to the measured values by considering the key parameter - the corrective coefficient for the soil adsorption coefficient. However, the simulated shoot concentrations at the appropriate harvest period exceeded the measured values. This indicates that the leafy vegetable used in this study may have some metabolic capacity for the pesticides.

The excessive use of chemical pesticides in agricultural fields for controlling plant pathogenic microorganisms harms human health, the environment, and other beneficial microorganisms in the soil and plants. To address this challenge, it is essential to isolate and discover bioactive compounds from biological resources that could inhibit plant pathogenic microorganisms. In this study, the culture filtrate of the edible mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus was subjected to bioassay-guided isolation, and two phthalide derivatives—4,6-dimethoxyphthalide (1) and 5,7-dimethoxyphthalide (2)—were identified, along with an oxindole compound—3-hydroxy-3-methyloxindole (3). The inhibitory activities of the three compounds were evaluated against four fungal and five bacterial pathogens. Remarkably, 1 and 2 exhibited the lowest IC50 values against the conidial germination and germ tube elongation of the rice blast fungus Pyricularia oryzae. However, their effectiveness against bacterial pathogens was relatively low. The (S) and (R)-enantiomers of 3-hydroxy-3-methyloxindole showed different activities against plant fungal pathogens and bacterial plant pathogens.

We validated a simulation model (PostPLANT-Soil) for predicting pesticide concentrations in succeeding leafy vegetables reported in our first paper in this series, which includes the pesticide sorption process into plant roots. As a result of the model validation with the measured data from a plant uptake study in a growth chamber, the model successfully simulated the concentration changes of pesticides in a plant shoot. However, the simulated shoot concentrations for several pesticides were overestimated compared to the measured values. The leafy vegetable (Brassica rapa) used in this study probably has a high metabolic ability for the fungicide flutolanil from the result of the uptake study under a hydroponic condition.
