| pubmed-article:9873734 | pubmed:abstractText | This paper describes the discovery of glycosyl acceptor analogs as potent and selective inhibitors of alpha-1,3- and beta-1,4-galactosyltransferases. Incorporation of an appropriate aromatic group to the aglycon position of the enzyme's acceptors results in a strong inhibition, representing the first and most potent small uncharged molecules as selective inhibitors of these two enzymes and thus providing a new strategy for the development of selective glycosyltransferase inhibitors. | lld:pubmed |
