Based on the bioactive enamino diketone skeleton and the structure of our previously reported lead compound 5-acylbarbituric acid I, twenty-six novel 5-(1-amino-2-phenoxyethylidene)barbituric acid derivatives were designed and synthesized. The bioassay results showed that the analog 5-(2-(2-chloro-4-fluorophenoxy)-1-(pentylamino)-ethyli- dene)-1,3-dimethylpyrimidine-2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)-trione (APB-5) displayed excellent post-emergent herbicidal activity, with inhibition 100% against dicotyledonous plants (Brassica campestris, Amaranthus retroflexus), even at a dosage of 187.5 g? ha–1. More importantly, compound APB-5 showed a broad spectrum of weed control and displayed good crop safety toward wheat, maize and millet, when applied at 375 g?ha–1, indicating its remarkable potential as a herbicide. Furthermore, by investigating the phenotypes of Arabidopsis thaliana and analyzing the effect of compound APB-5 on auxin response genes in plants, it was found that compound APB-5 had a herbicidal mechanism similar to auxin-type herbicides, such as 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). Taken together, the present work demonstrated that compound APB-5 could serve as a lead structure for further developing novel auxin-type herbicides.
