Popis: Pyrimidine compounds comprise a class of acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) inhibitors, thus possessing herbicidal activity. Due to the ongoing development of resistance by weeds to current herbicides, the design of new agrochemical candidates is often required. This work reports the proposition of unprecedented pyrimidines as herbicides guided by quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) modeling. Multivariate image analysis (MIA) descriptors for 66 pyrimidine derivatives obtained from different sources were regressed against inhibitory activity data, and the resulting QSAR models were found to be reliable and predictive (r
