Transport using amide compounds

Typically, only 0.01-10% of the mass of pesticide compounds applied to fields is detected in streams [91]. The remaining 90-99% of pesticides adsorb to soil, percolate into groundwater, or volatilize [79]. The major degradates of the most heavily used herbicides found in surface water have not been studied widely. Many chemical properties of pesticides affect the amounts transported to streams. In general, acetanilide herbicides are more soluble in water, and thus more mobile than are the triazines [92], The solubilities of sulfonated degradates of acetanilides (ethane sulfonic acid, or ESA), can be 10 times the solubility of the parent compound [93]. The greater mobilities of the degradates of the acetanilides (amide family) can explain these com-... 

Providing Insight Into the Chemical Basis of Plant Processes. A wide variety of carbamates, triazines, amides, ureas, quinones and other herbicides are known to exert their action by inhibiting the plant s photosynthetic process (17). However, some of the same compounds have been used very effectively as probes into the pathways of photosynthesis and electron transport in plants. 

Ester and amide derivatives of lipoic acid (i.e., 360 and 361) are capable of increasing the rate of glucose transport in myotubes in culture in the absence or presence of insulin <2004BMC1183>. Due to the improved lipid solubility, these compounds surpass the potency of LA, which is used as an auxiliary drug for the treatment of diabetes, by a few orders of magnitude.
