“…The differences in size, shape, and basicity of the carboxylate and phosphonate groups might reflect in differences in the enzyme-substrate interactions. The inhibitory action of aminophosphonates enable their use in design of enzyme regulators and application as antibacterial, antimicrobial, neuroactive, antitumor, antiviral, fungicidal, and herbicidal agents [1,5,6]. The derivatives containing pyridine and quinoline heterocyclic rings are also very attractive metalcomplexing agents that might form biologically important metal complexes.…”
