Abstract: Pyrimidinyl(thio)ether compounds are a kind of novel class of ALSinhibitors. In view of quantum pharmacology, their electronic structure was firstly investigated by means of quantum chemical calculations. The results revealed that there is a large electronegative region around the pyrimidinyl moiety in the highly active molecule. The herbicidal activity is related to the potency of electric charge translocation of the heterocyclic regions. On the basis of the above results, a novel kind of herbicides was designed and synthesized and was found to exhibit a good herbicidal activity with pIC50 over 7.

Key words: Pyrimidine(thio)ether compound, ALS inhibitor, Structure-activity relationship, Quantum pharmacology, Molecular design
