Synthesis of phosphorus-containing amino acid analogs as inhibitors of nitric oxide synthase

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0960-894X(96)00144-8

Two series of α-amino phosphonic and α-amino phosphinic analogs of arginine were prepared and tested as inhibitors of nitric oxide synthase (NOS). Two of the analogs were found to possess inhibitory activity for the neuronal isoform of NOS.
