摘要
Compounds that control rice blast, but not other crop diseases. a ere selected for testing as inhibitors of trihydroxy naphthalene reductase of the fungal melanin biosynthetic pathway. A potent inhibitor of the enzyme (2) (K-i = 25 nM) was identified. An X-ray structure of the enzyme-NADPH-2 complex was determined at 2.1 Angstrom resolution. (C) 2000 DuPont Pharmaceuticals Company.
