SYNTHESIS AND PHYSIOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES OF NEW ACYCLIC AMINOPHOSPHONATES

Abstract

The dependence of biological activity of 37 newly synthesized acyclic aminomethanephosphonic acid derivatives on their structure was studied. It was found that the phytotoxicity of the compounds studied depended on their hydrophobic parameters, and in a smaller extent on the electronic parameters of the substituents on nitrogen and phosphorus atoms. No phytotoxicity dependence on the steric parameters of compounds was found. Tested organism was Spirodela oligorrhiza and the parameter studied was the concentration of compounds causing 50% growth inhibition (EC₅₀). The test had preliminary character and permitted to eliminate the less promising compounds out of further studies.
