Abstract:
Eight 5-arylimino-3,4-tetramethylene-1,3,4-thiadiazolidine-2-thiones and eight 4-aryl-1,2- tetramethylene-1,2,4-triazolidine-3,5-dithiones were synthesized and their phytotoxic activities were investigated using sawa millet (Echinochloa utilis), green microalgae (Scenedesmus acutus) and protoporphyrinogen-IX oxidase isolated from etiolated corn (Zea mays) seedlings. 5-Arylimino-3,4-tetramethylene-1,3,4-thiadiazolidine-2-thiones showed strong phytotoxic activities and the same herbicidal mode of action as known for peroxidizing herbicides. 5-Arylimino-3,4-tetramethylene-1,3,4-thiadiazolidine-2-thiones were not or very little converted into 4-aryl-1,2-tetram ethylene-1,2,4-triazolidine-3,5-dithiones either with E. utilis seedlings present for 7 days, with S. acutus cells, or using glutathione 5-transferase (GST) and glutathione (GSH). The phytotoxic activities of 4-aryl-1,2-tetram ethylene-1,2,4-triazolidine- 3,5-dithiones were stronger than those of 5-arylimino-3,4-tetram ethylene-1,3,4-thiadiazolidine- 2-thiones [cf. Sato, Y., et al., Z. Naturforsch. 49c, 49-56 (1994)].
