“…Even though their properties and potential uses are yet to be discovered, they have been demonstrated to be efficient antiviral (Kolodiazhnyi, 2005;Magee and Evans, 2012), antibacterial and anticancer agents (Kolodiazhnyi, 2005). In addition, α-hydroxyphosphonate derivatives of tetrazolo [1,5-a]quinoline were found to possess antibacterial and antifungal properties (Kategaonkar et al, 2010). Our earlier studies, aimed at obtaining pure enantiomers of organophosphonic compounds, demonstrated that some hydroxyphosphonates might be delivered with good or excellent enantioselectivity by means of biotransformations (Skwarczyński et al, 1999;Malinowska et al, 2011).…”
