This study was conducted to investigate the biological activities of loreclezole on the various microalgae and plant species. Loreclezole roughly showed a broad algicidal spectrum with a active rate of 2.0-35 μM. Among the tested green algae, there was sensitive response in the order of Scenedesmus spp.>Raphidocelis subcapitata>Chlorella sorokiniana>C. vulgaris (KCTC)>C. vulgaris (FBCC). In the tested cyanobacteria (blue-green algae), Microcystis aeruginosa exhibited higher response to loreclezole than that of Dolichospermum circinale. In the case of Lemnaceae (duckweeds), Lemna paucicostata showed higher herbicidal activity (IC50=10.5 μM) to loreclezole than that of Spirodella polyrhiza (SPIPO). Loreclezole seemed to have a novel action mechanism different with the those of commercial herbicides when it was gathered through symptoms of SPIPO treated with loreclezole. In the mixture experiment to evaluate a chemical interaction in SPIPO control, loreclezole showed a mild synergistic effect with bentazon, photosynthesis inhibitor. In herbicidal activities against the various weeds at a foliar application, loreclezole primarily induced burning symptoms (leaf desiccation, discoloration and necrosis), had about 50% control at the rate of 1.0 kg ha⁻¹ and a short efficacy duration within about 5 days. Taken together, our results suggested that loreclezole had a potential as an algicide in water ecological system, but an optimization of chemical structure was likely to be required for the use of herbicide.
