Probing replacement of pyrophosphate via click chemistry; synthesis of UDP-sugar analogues as potential glycosyl transferase inhibitors.

A series of potential UDP-sugar mimics were readily synthesised by copper(I) catalysed modified Huisgen cycloaddition of the corresponding alpha-propargyl glycosides with 5-azido uridine in aqueous solution. None of the compounds accessed displayed significant inhibitory activity at concentrations o...
