MIC, MBC and the percentage of inhibition （activity） at 20 ~tg/mL, 15 μg/mL and 10μg/mL against Eschericia coli, and at 7.5 lag/mL, 5 μg/mL and 2.5 μg/mL against Staphylococcus aureus, were determined for each compound in the three series. Highest MIC activity against E. coli and S. aureus were given by 2,4-dichlorochalcone series. Butadiene series was similar in behavior to 2,4-dichlorochalcone series in MIC activity against S. aureus. Results of MBC revealed that compounds in the three series exerted high activity against both types of bacteria. Compounds substituted with nitro or nitril exhibited higher activity than other compounds in the three series. Percentage of inhibition of halogenated compounds （4＇-C1 and 4＇-F） was almost equal in every series. Compounds with substituents （4＇-H and 4＇-CH3） showed fluctuation in activity according to the nature of each series.展开更多

In this review, the focus is on molecular features of these SLs. The occurrence of SLs in root exudates of host plants is described. The naming protocol for SL according to the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry （IUPAC） rules and the ＇at a glance＇ method is explained. The total synthesis of some natural SLs is described with details for all eight stereoisomers of strigol. The problems encountered with assign- ing the correct structure of natural SLs are analyzed for orobanchol, alectrol, and solanacol. The structure-activity relationship of SLs as germination stimulants leads to the identification of the bioactiphore of SLs. Together with a tentative mechanism for the mode of action, a model has been derived that can be used to design and prepare active SL analogs. This working model has been used for the preparation of a series of new SL analogs such as Nijmegen-1, and analogs derived from simple ketones, keto enols, and saccharine. The serendipitous finding of SL mimics which are derived from the D-ring in SLs （appropriately substituted butenolides） is reported. For SL mimics, a mode of action is proposed as well. Recent new results support this proposal. The stability of SLs and SL analogs towards hydrolysis is described and some details of the mechanism of hydrolysis are discussed as well. The attempted isolation of the protein receptor for germination and the current status concerning the biosynthesis of natural SLs are briefly discussed. Some non-SLs as germinating agents are mentioned. The structure-activity relationship for SLs in hyphal branching of AM fungi and in repression of shoot branching is also analyzed. For each of the principle functions, a working model for the design of new active SL analogs is described and its applicability and implications are discussed. It is shown that the three principal functions use a distinct perception system. The importance of stereochemistry for bioactivity has been described for the various functions.展开更多
