Abstract

Ten novel compounds, each consisting of two subunits and a linker, were designed with the aid of molecular modeling to resemble the natural steroidal phytohormone brassinolide. The mimetics were synthesized and subjected to the rice leaf lamina inclination bioassay to test for brassinosteroid activity. Most of the mimetics displayed very weak or no bioactivity, but two were strongly active when coapplied with the auxin indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), which synergizes the activity of brassinosteroids. Thus, 1-(4,6 alpha,7 alpha-trihydroxy-5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthyl)-2-(6 alpha',7 alpha'-dihydroxy-5',6',7',8'-tetrahydronaphthyl)ethyne (4) and (E)-1,2-bis[trans-(4a alpha,8a beta)-4-oxo-6 alpha,7 alpha-dihydroxy-4a,5,6,7,8,8a-hexahydro-(3H)-naphthyl]ethylene (11) showed exceptional activity at doses as low as 0.01 ng and 0.001 ng/plant, respectively. These compounds are the first biologically active nonsteroidal brassinolide mimetics.

Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • In the rice leaf lamina inclination bioassay, 5α-configuration is required for optimum brassinosteroid activity, but the B-ring tolerates considerable variation provided a polar functional group is maintained.

    “Recent structure-activity studies of brassinosteroids in the rice leaf lamina inclination bioassay have revealed that 5α-configuration is required for optimum activity, but the B-ring tolerates considerable variation, providing that the presence of a polar functional group is maintained 17.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
