Harvesting phosphorus-containing moieties for their antibacterial effects

Role of β-Lactamase Inhibitors as Potentiators in Antimicrobial Chemotherapy Targeting Gram-Negative Bacteria

“…Phosphonates are categorized as organophosphorus compounds that have abundant biological activities, including antibacterial, antiviral, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory activities [129]. Phosphonate derivatives can inhibit class A, C, and D enzymes via acylation reactions at serine active sites [130,131].…”

Differential insights into structural dynamics and photophysical behavior of two phosphorus-containing diesters

“…22–26 Of particular interest are phosphorus-containing diesters, a subclass of organic compounds notable for their diverse chemical reactivities and significant roles in biological and synthetic processes. 27–29 Therefore, phosphorus-containing monomers with methoxycarbonyl end functional groups represent a compelling area of research at the intersection of organic chemistry, polymer science, and materials engineering. These monomers are distinguished by their unique molecular architecture, which combines the chemical versatility of phosphorus with the tunability afforded by methoxycarbonyl end groups.…”
