- Description: DOXP-reductoisomerase (DXR) is a validated target for the development of antimalarial drugs to address the increase in resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum. Series of aryl- and heteroarylcarbamoylphosphonic acids, their diethyl esters and disodium salts have been prepared as analogues of the potent DXR inhibitor fosmidomycin. The effects of the carboxamide N-substituents and the length of the methylene linker have been explored using in silico docking studies, saturation transfer difference NMR spectroscopy and enzyme inhibition assays using both EcDXR and PfDXR. These studies indicate an optimal linker length of two methylene units and have confirmed the importance of an additional binding pocket in the PfDXR active site. Insights into the constraints of the PfDXR binding site provide additional scope for the rational design of DXR inhibitors with increased ligand–receptor interactions.

- Description: The diethyl esters and disodium salts of a range of heteroarylcarbamoylphosphonic acids have been prepared and evaluated as analogues of the highly active DOXP-reductoisomerase (DXR) inhibitor, fosmidomycin. Computer-simulated docking studies, Saturation Transfer Difference (STD) NMR analysis and enzyme inhibition assays have been used to explore enzyme-binding and -inhibition potential, while in silico analysis of the DXR active site has highlighted the importance of including a well-parameterised metal co-factor in docking studies and has revealed the availability of an additional binding pocket to guide future drug design.

- Description: 1H and 31P NMR methods have been used to access rate constants and activation parameters for each of the consecutive second-order silylation reactions involved in the overall transformation (1a→3a→4a), while computational optimisation of the rate constants obtained from the initial, linear phase of each reaction has permitted an excellent fit with the experimental data for the entire course of the reaction.
