“…Thus, a tetrazole phosphonic acid 10 was shown to inhibit multiplication of HSV II, and imidazole, benzimidazole, and benzotriazole phosphonic acids have been evaluated as plant growth factors. 11,12 Besides these compounds, many others, such as the triazole, 13 aziridine, 14 azetidine, 15 pyrazole, 16 and pyrrolidine [17][18][19][20][21][22][23] phosphonates were reported and biologically evaluated. We have recently described prolinol-based nucleoside N-methylphosphonates 24 as a new class of nucleotide analogues with a conformationally flexible N-methylphosphonate moiety.…”
