“…They have been reported to inhibit enzymes involved in amino acid metabolism, thus having a direct influence on cell functions ( Naydenova et al, 2010 ). Many studies have reported the remarkable activity of α -aminophosphonates as pharmacophores ( Reddy et al, 2012 ; Chinthaparthi et al, 2013 ). These compounds exhibit potent biological properties including as plant growth regulators ( Kafarski et al, 1989 ), antiviral ( Long et al, 2008 ; Chen et al, 2009 ; Singh et al, 2020 ), anti-inflammatory agents ( Sujatha et al, 2017 ; Romero-Estudillo et al, 2019 ), herbicides ( Chen et al, 2015 ), protein inhibitors ( Sienczyk and Oleksyszyn, 2009 ; Wang et al, 2012 ; Moreno-Cinos et al, 2019 ), antitumor/antiproliferative agents ( Gu and Jin, 2012 ; Kraicheva et al, 2012 ; Liu et al, 2017 ; López-Francés et al, 2021 ), and antimicrobials ( Atherton et al, 1986 ; El Sayed et al, 2011 ; Rezaei et al, 2011 ; Sudileti et al, 2019a ).…”
