TL;DR
Aminophosphonates are analogues of amino acids in which a carboxylic moiety is replaced by phosphonic acid or related groups that inhibit enzymes involved in amino acid metabolism and thus affect the physiological activity of the cell.
Abstract
Abstract Aminophosphonates are analogues of amino acids in which a carboxylic moiety is replaced by phosphonic acid or related groups. Acting as antagonists of amino acids, they inhibit enzymes involved in amino acid metabolism and thus affect the physiological activity of the cell. These effects may be exerted as antibacterial, plant growth regulatory or neuromodulatory. Chosen representative examples of biologically active aminophosphonates are presented in some detail.
