Abstract
A series of C-glycosyl ethylphosphonophosphate analogues of UDP-Glc, UDP-Gal, UDP-GlcNAc and GDP-Fuc were synthesized from the corresponding C-glycosyl ethylphosphonic acids. Analogues were obtained as α-anomers through either diastereoselective photo-induced radical addition of glycosyl bromides ( d-Glc, d-Gal and l-Fuc) to diethyl vinylphosphonate, or a multi-step sequence ( d-GlcNAc), with subsequent coupling with morpholidate-activated nucleotide monophosphates. The in vitro inhibitory activity of UDP-Gal, GDP-Fuc and UDP-GlcNAc analogues towards glycosyltransferases (β-1,4-GalT, FUT3 and LgtA) was evaluated through a competition fluorescence assay and IC 50 values of 40 μM, 2 mM and 3.5 mM were obtained, respectively.
