Triketone Herbicides

Triketone herbicides are inhibitors of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD), a key enzyme of the tyrosine transformation pathway, common for plants and animals. One of these herbicides, 2-[2-nitro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzoyl]-1,3-cyclohexanedione (NTBC), is so selective and efficient that it can be applied as a medicine in a hereditary metabolic disease - tyrosinemia type I. In this paper the available information concerning the molecular mechanism of HPPD inhibition by NTBC, originating from experimental investigations as well as theoretical modeling, has been collected. It is supplemented by results of additional theoretical DFT and/or MP2 calculations of the energetic effects of individual elementary molecular transformations. All these data are discussed and a consistent picture of HPPD inhibition by NTBC is proposed.

ABSTRACTThe structural, electronic and magnetic properties of functional Ni-Mn-(Ga, In, Sn) and Pt-Ni-(Ga, Sn) alloys are studied by first-principles and Monte Carlo tools. The ab initio calculations give a basic understanding of the underlying physics which is associated with the complex magnetic behavior arising from the competition of ferro- and antiferromagnetic interactions for excess Mn atoms in the unit cell. We show that the resulting complex magnetic ordering is the driving mechanism of structural transformations and multifunctional properties of Heusler alloys associated with magnetic shape-memory, magnetocaloric and elastocaloric effects. The thermodynamic properties can be calculated by using the ab initio magnetic exchange parameters in finite-temperature Monte Carlo simulations. Entropy and specific heat changes associated with the magnetic changes and emergence of microstructure across the magnetostructural transition are pointed out. We show how to optimize the functional properties by tuning the compositional changes, for example, a magnetic shape-memory effect of more than 14% can be achieved in Pt-Ni-Mn-Ga alloys. The theoretical studies are accompanied by experimental investigations.

While different flavors of API stress testing systems have been used in experimental investigations for decades, the detailed kinetics of such systems as well as the chemical composition of prominent reactive species, specifically reactive oxygen species, are unknown.<br>As a first step toward understanding and modeling API oxidation in stress testing, we investigated a typical radical "soup" solution an API is subject to during stress testing.<br>Here we applied ab-initio electronic structure calculations to automatically generate and refine a detailed chemical kinetics model, taking a fresh look at API oxidation.<br>We generated a detailed kinetic model for a representative azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN)/H<sub>2</sub>O/CH<sub>3</sub>OH stress-testing system with varied co-solvent ratio (50%/50% -- 99.5%/0.5% vol. water/methanol) and for representative pH values (4--10) at 40oC stirred and open to the atmosphere.<br>At acidic conditions hydroxymethyl alkoxyl is the dominant alkoxyl radical, and at basic conditions, for most studied initial methanol concentrations, cyanoisopropyl alkoxyl becomes the dominant alkoxyl radical, albeit at an overall lower concentration.<br>At acidic conditions the levels of cyanoisopropyl peroxyl, hydroxymethyl peroxyl, and hydroperoxyl radicals are relatively high and comparable, while at both neutral and basic pH conditions, superoxide becomes the prominent radical in the system.<br>The present work reveals the prominent species in a common model API stress testing system at various co-solvent and pH conditions, sets the stage for an in-depth quantitative API kinetic study, and demonstrates usage of novel software tools for automated chemical kinetic model generation and ab-initio refinement.
