In Silico Structure-Guided Optimization and Molecular Simulation Studies of 3-Phenoxy-4-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)pyridazines as Potent Phytoene Desaturase Inhibitors

A series of novel 3-phenoxy-4-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)pyridazines <b>2</b>–<b>5</b> were designed, based on the structure of our previous lead compound <b>1</b> through the in silico structure-guided optimization approach. The results showed that some of these ne...
