Herein, we describe the synthesis and resulting activity of a complex series of α- aminophosphonate diaryl esters as irreversible human neutrophil elastase inhibitors and their selectivity preference for human neutrophil elastase over several other serine proteases such as porcine pancreatic elastase, trypsin, and chymotrypsin. We synthesized and examined the inhibitory potency of several new simple Cbz-protected α- ...
