Fate and ecotoxicological impact of new generation herbicides from the triketone family: An overview to assess the environmental risks.
    Journal of hazardous materials, 2017, Mar-05, Volume: 325

    Triketones, derived chemically from a natural phytotoxin (leptospermone), are a good example of allelochemicals as lead molecules for the development of new herbicides. Targeting a new and key enzyme involved in carotenoid biosynthesis, these latest-generation herbicides (sulcotrione, mesotrione and tembotrione) were designed to be eco-friendly and commercialized fifteen-twenty years ago. The mechanisms controlling their fate in different ecological niches as well as their toxicity and impact on different organisms or ecosystems are still under investigation. This review combines an overview of the results published in the literature on β-triketones and more specifically, on the commercially-available herbicides and includes new results obtained in our interdisciplinary study aiming to understand all the processes involved (i) in their transfer from the soil to the connected aquatic compartments, (ii) in their transformation by photochemical and biological mechanisms but also to evaluate (iii) the impacts of the parent molecules and their transformation products on various target and non-target organisms (aquatic microorganisms, plants, soil microbial communities). Analysis of all the data on the fate and impact of these molecules, used pure, as formulation or in cocktails, give an overall guide for the assessment of their environmental risks.

Assessing the effects of β-triketone herbicides on HPPD from environmental bacteria using a combination of in silico and microbiological approaches.
    Environmental science and pollution research international, 2023, Volume: 30, Issue:4

    4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) is the molecular target of β-triketone herbicides in plants. This enzyme, involved in the tyrosine pathway, is also present in a wide range of living organisms, including microorganisms. Previous studies, focusing on a few strains and using high herbicide concentrations, showed that β-triketones are able to inhibit microbial HPPD. Here, we measured the effect of agronomical doses of β-triketone herbicides on soil bacterial strains. The HPPD activity of six bacterial strains was tested with 1× or 10× the recommended field dose of the herbicide sulcotrione. The selected strains were tested with 0.01× to 15× the recommended field dose of sulcotrione, mesotrione, and tembotrione. Molecular docking was also used to measure and model the binding mode of the three herbicides with the different bacterial HPPD. Our results show that responses to herbicides are strain-dependent with Pseudomonas fluorescens F113 HPPD activity not inhibited by any of the herbicide tested, when all three β-triketone herbicides inhibited HPPD in Bacillus cereus ATCC14579 and Shewanella oneidensis MR-1. These responses are also molecule-dependent with tembotrione harboring the strongest inhibitory effect. Molecular docking also reveals different binding potentials. This is the first time that the inhibitory effect of β-triketone herbicides is tested on environmental strains at agronomical doses, showing a potential effect of these molecules on the HPPD enzymatic activity of non-target microorganisms. The whole-cell assay developed in this study, coupled with molecular docking analysis, appears as an interesting way to have a first idea of the effect of herbicides on microbial communities, prior to setting up microcosm or even field experiments. This methodology could then largely be applied to other family of pesticides also targeting an enzyme present in microorganisms.

Effects of HPPD inhibitor herbicides on soybean root exudates: A combination study of multispectral technique and 2D-COS analysis.
    Spectrochimica acta. Part A, Molecular and biomolecular spectroscopy, 2023, Mar-15, Volume: 289

    4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) inhibitor herbicides are widely used in modern agriculture. Plant root exudates (REs) play an important role in the adsorption, degradation, migration and transformation of pesticides in soil. In the present study, the structural affinity and interaction mechanism between four HPPD inhibitors (HPPDi) and soybean REs were investigated via multispectral technologies and two-dimensional correlation analysis (2D-COS). UV-vis absorption and fluorescence spectra showed that mesotrione, tembotrione, sulcotrione and topramezone effectively quench the intrinsic fluorescence of soybean REs through static quenching.

Chlorination of the β-triketone herbicides tembotrione and sulcotrione: Kinetic and mechanistic study, transformation products identification and toxicity.
    Water research, 2015, Jun-01, Volume: 76

    The fate of tembotrione (TBT) and sulcotrione (SCT) during chlorination was investigated in this work. Chlorination kinetics of TBT and SCT were studied by using a continuous-flow reactor in the pH range 2-12 with an excess of total chlorine. Second-order reaction was observed and rate constants of 9.69 (±0.15) × 10(3) M(-1)s(-1) for TBT and 9.48 (±0.62) × 10(3) M(-1)s(-1) for SCT were obtained at pH 7. Intrinsic rate constants for the elementary reactions of chlorine species with neutral and deprotonated forms of TBT and SCT were also calculated, leading to the conclusion that the reaction between hypochlorous acid and the deprotonated form of the pesticide is predominant at neutral pH. Several degradation products during chlorination of TBT and SCT were identified by LC-MS/MS and a reaction pathway was proposed. Chlorine initially reacted on the α-carbon of the three carbonyl functional groups. This reaction initiated the well-known haloform reaction and produced chloroform as end-product. Molar yields of 0.99 mol CHCl3/mol and 0.91 mol CHCl3/mol were obtained for TBT and SCT, respectively at pH 7. Moreover, a toxicity evaluation using Vibrio fischeri was carried out to study the toxicity pattern during TBT and SCT chlorination. An increase in toxicity was observed but it could not be clearly assigned to the identified byproducts.

Photolysis of tembotrione and its main by-products under extreme artificial conditions: comparison with another β-triketone herbicide.
    The Science of the total environment, 2013, May-01, Volume: 452-453

    The photolytic behaviour of tembotrione, a new chemical herbicide intended for foliar application in corn, was investigated under unnatural and extreme photochemical exposure in aqueous solutions in the laboratory. It appeared that degradation was dependent on pH and occurred more rapidly under acidic and neutral conditions, leading predominantly to the formation of a xanthenedione type compound by intramolecular cyclisation with loss of HCl. Trace amounts of benzoic acid by-products appeared also during UV-C irradiation (λ=254 nm) of the parent compound. Results were comparable to those obtained with sulcotrione, another β-triketone herbicide. These extreme irradiation conditions clearly accelerated the phototransformation of sulcotrione vs. simulated sunlight irradiation. Furthermore, the photolysis of the degradation by-products, resulting from either photolysis, hydrolysis or biotic pathways of the two active ingredients, was also carried out. The benzoic acid by-products appeared more stable to photolysis than their parent molecules. Xanthenedione derivatives were degraded more rapidly with several differences depending on the pH value.
