The reactivity of Morita-Baylis-Hillman allyl acetates was employed to introduce phosphorus-containing functionalities to the side chain of the cinnamic acid conjugated system by nucleophilic displacement. The proximity of two acidic groups, the carboxylate and phosphonate/phosphinate groups, was necessary to form interactions in the active site of urease by recently described inhibitor frameworks
Inhibitors of bacterial ureases are considered to be promising compounds in the treatment of infections caused by Helicobacter pylori in the gastric tract and/or by urealytic bacteria (e.g., Proteus species) in the urinary tract. A new, extended transitionstate scaffold, bis(aminomethyl)phosphinic acid, was successfully explored for the construction of effective enzyme inhibitors. A reliable methodology
A new group of organophosphorus inhibitors of urease, P-methyl phosphinic acids was discovered by using the structure based inhibitor design approach. Several derivatives of the lead compound, aminomethyl(P-methyl)phosphinic acid, were synthesized successfully. Their potency was evaluated in vitro against urease from Bacillus pasteurii and Proteus vulgaris. The studied compounds constitute a group of competitive, reversible inhibitors of bacterial ureases. Obtained thiophosphinic analogues of the most effective structures exhibited kinetic characteristics of potent, slow binding urease inhibitors, with K-i = 170 nM (against B. pasteurii enzyme) for the most active N-(N'-benzyloxycarbonylglycyl)aminomethyl(P-methyl)phosphinothioic acid.

Phosphinic Peptide Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 Inhibitors by Solid-Phase Synthesis Using a Building Block Approach
The solid-phase synthesis of an array of different pseudopeptides containing a phosphinic glycine-leucine moiety (-G Psi/P(O)OH-CH2}L-)([1]) is described. The resulting pseudopeptides were shown to act as matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) inhibitors. Starting from available materials, the protected amino acid isosters benzyloxy-carbonyl aminomethylphosphinic acid (glycine analogue) and ethyl alpha-isobutylacrylate (leucine analogue) were synthesized and coupled with the bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphonite. Protective group interchange yielded a protected phosphinic dipeptide building block 1 ready for use in solid-phase peptide synthesis, Solid-phase peptide synthesis was performed with 9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (Fmoc) chemistry on a polyethylene glycol polyamide (PEGA) support and the coupling of 1 (1.5 equiv) was carried out with standard activation. The P-4-P-2 and P-2'-P-4' positions of the pseudopeptides were designed by analogy of the cleavage sequences of different natural extracellular matrix protein substrates with a synthetic peptide substrate of MMP-9. The crude peptides were obtained in high yield and purity as determined by RP-HPLC, and were characterized by electrospray mass spectrometry and amino acid analysis after purification. Enzyme kinetic investigations with MMP-9 of the purified peptide inhibitors showed Ki values in the range from mM to nM.
