“…1,2,4-Triazolone, an important nitrogen-containing heterocycle, can form strong interactions with proteins thanks to its four polar atoms, namely, three nitrogens and one oxygen. The derivatives of 1,2,4-triazolone (Figure ), exhibit excellent biological activities as pharmaceuticals − and agrochemicals such as herbicides and insecticides . Therefore, the functional 1,2,4-triazolone fragment was added to the central part of the model (red portion; Figure a).…”
