Inhibition of fucosyltransferase V by a GDP-Azasugar

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2001 Jul 23;11(14):1809-11. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(01)00282-7.

Abstract

A GDP-azasugar conjugate was synthesized starting from an enzymatically obtained phosphorylated azasugar. It inhibits human fucosyltransferase V at micromolar concentrations, which is discussed in terms of transition state analogy.
