Yoshikawa, Hiromichi published the artcileLunularic acid analogs exhibit abscisic acid-like activities in higher plants, Recommanded Product: 4-(Phenoxymethyl)benzoic acid, the publication is Proceedings – Plant Growth Regulation Society of America (2000), 133-138, database is CAplus.
Dihydrostilbene carboxylic acids, phenoxymethylbenzoic acids and benzyloxy-benzoic acids were synthesized as lunularic acid analogs and their biol. activities were estimated by the following bioassays: 1) a cress and lettuce assay 2) an ¦Á-amylase induction test and 3) a Lunularia cruciata callus (A-18 strain) growth test. Some analogs with an electron-withdrawing group at the 3-position of the A ring and a carboxyl group at 2′- or 3′-position of B ring inhibited the germination and the growth of cress (Lepidium sativum). Similar tendency was observed in the growth test of Lunularia cruciata callus. Many compounds were more active than lunularic acid. Moreover, these series of compounds inhibited the ¦Á-amylase induction in barley. The 2,6-dichlorobenzyloxybenzoic acid esters stimulated the growth of lettuce roots but they showed no induction on ¦Á-amylase biosynthesis.
