Inhibitory effects of some esters of 2- and 3-substituted alkoxyphenylcarbamic acids on photosynthetic characteristics

  • Published:
Biologia Plantarum

Abstract

The inhibitory effect of 23N-alkyl-4-piperidylesters (alkyl = ethyl-butyl) (APEA) and 8N-ethyl-2-pyrrolidinylmethylesters (EPMEA) of 2- and 3-substituted alkoxyphenylcarbamic acids (alkoxy = butoxy-heptyloxy-) on photosynthetic Hill reaction activity of spinach chloroplasts and on chlorophyll (Chl) synthesis in green algaeChlorella vulgaris was investigated. Inhibitory activities of these compounds were strongly connected with the lipophilicity of the whole molecule. A lower inhibitory activity of 2-alkoxy-substituted derivatives in relation to the corresponding 3-substituted ones was confirmed. Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra of spinach chloroplasts demonstrated that the studied compounds affected the structure of photosystem (PS) 2 with the release of Mn2+ ions into interior of thylakoid membranes.
