Epoxy tetrahydrophthalimides as potential bioactive agents: synthesis and computational study

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 12, Page 7995-8006, December 2025.
Epoxy tetrahydrophthalimides were synthesized and evaluated for phytotoxic activity. Some compounds showed greater inhibition than S‐metolachlor against Sorghum bicolor. Docking studies indicated interaction with mitogen‐activated protein kinase, suggesting it as a potential target.
