Effects of substituted aryloxyaminopropanols on photosynthesis and photosynthesizing organisms.
The inhibitory activity of 22 substituted aryloxyaminopropanols having beta-lytic and local anaesthetic properties was studied from the view-point of their influences on photosynthesis in plant chloroplasts as well as growth and synthesis of chlorophyll in algae and wheat plants. The inhibitory activity increased significantly with the increasing length of alkyl-substituents of the aryloxyaminopropanol molecule. Less pronounced dependences were found with respect to the position of the substituent chain on benzene ring. The inhibitory activity was found to correlate well with the lipophilicity of the compounds studied.
