Discovery of Pyrazole-Benzimidazolin-2-One Derivatives as 4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate Dioxygenase Inhibitors.
4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) has become an attractive target for herbicide development owing to the slow development and low risk of resistance to its inhibitors. However, most available HPPD inhibitors exhibit limited crop selectivity and poor efficacy against grasses. Therefore, the exploration of novel...
