Topographical geometric factors governing the biological activities of methomyl derivatives on binding receptors of maize mitochondria
1986
Abstract The topographical study of the binding receptors of T and N mitochondria was undertaken with methomyl derivatives acting as molecular probes. The two biological activities related to topography and geometric isomerism are distinguishable from the receptor sites of T and N mitochondria.
Biological activity of the two geometrical isomers of methomyl on maize mitochondria
1983
Abstract Methomyl ( S -methyl- N [(methylcarbamoyl)oxy]thioacetimidate), the active ingredient in lannate insecticide, gave a geometrical isomer after acid
Methomyl analogues with increased biological activity towards F7T maize mitochondria
1987
Abstract Methomyl analogues were synthesized by substituting alkyl moieties (C 2 -C 21 ) in the place of the carbamic methyl. They were assayed on mitochondria isolated from male sterile (F 7 T) and male fertile (F 7 N) maize. They had no action on F 7 N mitochondria. The heptadecyl (C 17 ) and heneicosanyl (C 21 ) derivatives had no conspicuous effect on F 7 T mitochondria. By contrast, the ethyl, propyl, butyl, nonyl, tridecyl (C 13 ) and pentadecyl (C 15 ) derivatives had the same type of activity as Methomyl on F 7 T mitochondria, namely stimulation of NADH oxidation and inhibition of malate oxidation. Moreover, the concentration at which they were maximally effective decreased from 10 …
