The design and two synthetic pathways to aminophosphonate 4 which mimics the ionic and steric properties of putative oxocarbenium intermediate 3 in the Kdo8P synthase-catalyzed reaction are reported. It was found that 4 is a slow-binding, most potent inhibitor of the enzyme yet tested, with a K(i) value of 0.4 μM. Copyright (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.
