    Twenty-six derivatives of pyrazole-5-sulfonylureas were synthesized and investigated for their herbicidal activities. The title compound, pyrazosulfuron-ethyl (5, code No. NC-311), was found the best compound that was highly effective in controlling paddy weeds, especially annual and perennial broad-leaf weeds and sedges. In the paddy-field trial, 5 effectively controlled weeds at the rate of 20-30g a. i./ha without phytotoxicity to transplanted rice. This herbicide is proposed as a potent novel herbicide to protect paddy rice.

    2-Methoxy-5-substituted 1, 3, 2-oxazaphospholidine 2-sulfides (5-RMOS) were prepared by reacting methyl phosphorodichloridothiona to with appropriate aminoalcohols which had been synthesized from the corresponding aldehydes with a) trimethylsilyl cyanide, b) sodium bisulfite-pottasium (sodium) cyanide and reacted with lithium aluminum hydride, or from c) phenacyl bromides (chlorides) via hexamethylenetetramine complex followed by acidcatalyzed hydrolysis and reduction with sodium borohydride. 2-Methoxy-5-phenyl-1, 3, 2-oxazaphospholidine 2-sulfide (5-PMOS, II-1) was the most potent insecticide against Musca domestica by topical application (LD50=0.035μg/fly), whereas 4-methylphenyl (II-45), 4-ethylphenyl (II-51), 4-isopropylphenyl (II-52) and 2, 3-dimethoxyphenyl (II-57) analogs of 5-PMOS were the most potent in reducing the larval weight gain of Tribolium castaneum (I50=5.5, 3.7, 5.2 and 6.6ppm). According to the quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) analysis by Hansch and Fujita, steric nature of a substituent is important, and the smaller the substituent at the 5-phenyl of 5-RMOS, the more potent the insecticidal activity toward M. domestica, whereas toward T. castaneum, electronic nature was important, and the more resistant to hydrolysis the compounds, the more potent the activity on larval weight-gain inhibition of T. castaneum.

    The mode of action of a 4-pyridone-3-carboxamide derivative, DLH-1777 [5-bromo-N-(2, 6-diethylphenyl)-1, 4-dihydro-1, 6-dimethyl-4-oxo-2-propyl-3-pyridinecarboxamide], was studied on cotyledons from etiolated or green seedlings of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L. cv Shimoshirazu-jibai) and compared with that of oxyfluorfen (2-chloro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl 3′-ethoxy-4′-nitrophenyl ether). The herbicides both caused the leakage of ninhydrinpositive amino acids in treated etiolated cotyledons exclusively in a light (200μE m-2·sec-1 PAR). Lipid peroxides were detected in the cotyledons treated with 10μM DLH-1777 after 1-hr exposure to the light. DLH-1777 and oxyfluorfen both induced ethane production in green cotyledon discs. On the other hand, gabaculine (3-amino-2, 3-dihydrobenzoic acid), a porphyrin biosynthesis inhibitor, markedly alleviated the amino acid leakage caused by DLH-1777 or oxyfluorfen. DLH-1777 as well as oxyfluorfen induced the accumulation of protoporphyrin IX, a photosensitizing porphyrin, which is believed to cause light-dependent membrane distruction. These results suggest that DLH-1777 belongs to the same group as photobleaching and peroxidizing herbicides such as oxyfluorfen and oxadiazon as far as the mechanism is concerned, and that it is phytotoxic through inducing abnormal accumulation of protoporphyrin IX in treated tissues by interfering their porphyrin biosynthesis.

    Degradation of salithion (2-methoxy-4H-1, 3, 2-benzodioxa-phosphorin-2-sulfide) in two types of Japanese soils was studied by using a 14C preparation labeled at the phenyl ring. Salithion disappeared rapidly with a half-life of less than 3 days under aerobic upland conditions, finally degrading to 14CO2 and unextractable bound residues. The degradation pathways included cleavages of P-O-aryl and P-O-aralkyl linkages, demethylation, and oxidative desulfuration of the thiophosphoryl moiety. The degradation rate retarded under sterilized conditions, suggesting microbial degradation in the soils. Non-biological formation of the bound residues also caused the disappearance of salithion in the Ushiku soil (Andosol).

    Antifeeding constituents of Phellodendron chinense fruit against Reticulitermes speratus were isolated and identified as N-methylflindersine and melianone, of which the former showed significant activity. Other compounds isolated from the fruit (namely niloticin, friedelin, phellochin and 4, 10-dimethylene-7-isopropyl-5(E)-cyclodecenol) showed no antifeeding activity.

    An oviposition stimulant of the azuki bean weevil Callosobruchus chinensis was isolated from aqueous extracts of its host, the azuki bean Vigna angularis. The kairomone was identified as D-catechin, (2S, 3S)-3, 5, 7, 3′, 4′-pentahydroxyflavan. It was active at 0.2-2ng per glass bead and was located only in the seed coat. A bean (average weight 136mg) contained 17.6μg of the compound. The fact that the purified D-catechin fraction was somewhat more active than commercially available D-catechin suggested the presence of other components of the kairomone or its synergist.

    Deuterium isotope effects on the metabolic N-demethylation of diuron and monuron were measured in hepatocytes and in liver microsomes of rats. The intermolecular isotope effects were close to unity but the intramolecular effects on the reaction with diuron were 1.99 in hepatocytes (2.33 with monuron) and 2.47 in microsomes. The finding indicated that one electron was removed from nitrogen in the first step of reaction followed by deprotonation. A rapid interchange of two N-methyl groups in the substrate molecules on the enzyme surface was suggested.

    Nondialyzable, highly condensed, procyanidin type tannins having enzyme-inhibitory and anti-plant-viral activities were isolated from constituents in the barks of several trees as partially purified brownish powders. These compounds differed primarily in average molecular weight (PI: 20, 000, CDL: 10, 000, PYM: 8000 and TDS: 5000; determined by ultracentrifuge) and showed more than 1000 times stronger enzyme-inhibitory activity [plasmin (ED50: 0.05-0.4μM), thrombin (0.02-0.2μM), papain (0.08-0.6μM), trypsin (0.25-2.0μM] than (-)-epicatechin on a molar-ratio basis. The mode of inhibition of CDL was determined to be a noncompetitive-uncompetitive on both plasmin and papain. In preliminary anti-plant-viral bioassay, CDL showed a protective effect (93%; glove amarath) against the infection with PVX and a therapeutic effect (80%; pot test) against PVX, TMV and CGMMV at 1000ppm.

    Effects of pesticides on the activities of acid phosphatase, arylesterase and aryl acylamidase in soil were examined under upland field and/or laboratory conditions. We established methods to assay the activities of arylesterase and aryl acylamidase, while a known method was applied for acid phosphatase. Fenitrothion EC, chlorothalonil WP and paraquat SL were the main pesticides used and trichlorfon was additional for laboratory tests. Effects of the pesticides on the activities of acid phosphatase and arylesterase in soil were small or moderate when they were applied at conventional and 5-fold rates. Trichlorfon and fenitrothion EC inhibited the activity of aryl acylamidase, but the effect was temporary and the activity seemed to easily recover with the degradation of the pesticides or the proliferation of microorganisms.

    In order to investigate toxicological properties of Quinclorac, a number of toxicological studies were carried out with QUINCLORAC TECH and FACET WP. From these studies, it can be derived that the acute toxicity, subacute toxicity, and long-term toxicity are rather low. No critical irritant effects on eye and skin were noted, and under practical conditions a skin sensitizing effect and inhalation risk can be excluded. No adverse effect was observed on reproductivity, and no signs of teratogenic effects were noted. Mutagenicity was negative at non cytotoxic levels. There were no signs of an oncogenic response in any of the tested animals.
    A withholding value has been set for the registration at 0.5ppm on rice, and FACET WP, wettable powder formulation containing 50% Quinclorac, was registered to JMAFF on November 16, 1989.
    A safety risk for Quinclorac, as far as it is used in accordance with the established safe use standard, is not to be expected.
