TLDR
This review summarizes recent developments in the synthesis, characterization and biological activity of α-aminophosphonic acid and N-analogues and indicates one of the potential future developments is peptide hydrolysis.
Abstract
Aminophosphonic acids are an important group of medicinal compounds, and their synthesis has been a focus of considerable attention in synthetic organic chemistry as well as medicinal chemistry. Although the phosphonic and carboxylic acid groups differ considerably with respect to shape, size, and acidity, α-aminophosphonic acids are considered to be structural analogues of the corresponding amino acids and the transition state mimics peptide hydrolysis. This review summarizes recent developments in the synthesis, characterization and biological activity of α-aminophosphonic acid and N-analogues. An account of both uses will be presented, emphasizing one of the potential future developments, and some implications in medicinal chemistry are also disclosed. In addition, a brief account on the characterization of N-(phosphonomethyl) glycine derivatives will be presented.

Differential effects of glyphosate and roundup on human placental cells and aromatase.

TL;DR: It is shown that glyphosate is toxic to human placental JEG3 cells within 18 hr with concentrations lower than those found with agricultural use, and this effect increases with concentration and time, and the presence of Roundup adjuvants enhances glyphosate bioavailability and/or bioaccumulation.
