The inhibitory effect was investigated of 16 different 3-formylchromone derivatives, the condensation products of 6-R1-3-formylchromone with 4-aminosalicylic acid and of the adducts of 6-R1-3-formylchromone withn-alcohols and aminosalicylic acids or some other derivatives of aniline, on the photochemical activity of spinach chloroplasts. The inhibitory activity of the compounds studied correlated with the lipophilicity of the R1 and R2 (alkoxy) substituents. Using fluorescence study it was found that the site of action of the studied effectors is photosystem (PS) 2. By EPR spectroscopy it was confirmed that the studied effectors interact with the intermediates Z+/Y+ which are situated in D 1 and D 2 proteins on the donor side of PS 2 which is reflected in a partial decrease in the photosynthetic electron flow through PS 2 to PS 1. It was found that the core of PS 2 is not damaged.
