Sarmentine is a broad-spectrum contact herbicide and PSII inhibitor, with an IC50 of 3.0 µM and a Ki of 1.5 µM against spinach, an IC50 of 1.72 µM against wild-type Amaranthus retroflexus, and an IC50 of 0.97 µM against triazine-resistant Amaranthus retroflexus. Sarmentine competitively binds to the QB binding site of plastoquinone on PSII, thereby blocking photosynthetic electron transport. Sarmentine inhibits enoyl-ACP reductase in Arabidopsis thaliana by targeting the early fatty acid synthesis process, with an IC50 of 18.3 µM. Sarmentine induces light-independent loss of plasma membrane integrity and electrolyte leakage. Sarmentine also exhibits antiplasmodial, antimycobacterial, antituberculous, and antiplatelet aggregation activities[1].
