Poplar canker, mainly caused by Botryosphaeria species, is a serious disease that has resulted in the reduced productivity and death of poplar worldwide. Different Populus species have varied resistance levels to poplar canker; however, whether phenolic compounds in poplar are

Some chemicals were examined for their effects on the germination of resting spores of the clubroot pathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae, and on the control of clubroots in Chinese cabbage. Caffeic acid, coumalic acid, and corilagin stimulated the germination of Plasmodiophora spores

From the structure-activity relationships of known competitive inhibitors, coumalic acid (2-oxo-1,2H-pyran-5-carboxylic acid) was deduced to be a potential syncatalytic inhibitor for chick-embryo prolyl 4-hydroxylase. The compound caused time-dependent inactivation, the reaction rate being first-order. The inactivation constant was 0.094 min-1

The cuticle of parasitic nematodes consists primarily of a network of collagen molecules. The enzyme responsible for collagen maturation is prolyl 4-hydroxylase, making this enzyme a central activity in cuticle biosynthesis and a potentially important chemotherapeutic target. Adult and embryonic
