Y. Hatanaka et al., SYNTHESIS OF A CARBON-LINKED CMP-NANA ANALOG AND ITS INHIBITORY EFFECTS ON GM(3) AND GD(3) SYNTHASES, Heterocycles, 43(3), 1996, pp. 531-534
A carbon-linked analog of cytidine monophospho-N-acetylneuraminic acid
(CMP-NANA) was synthesized as the degradation resistant inhibitor for
sialyltransferases. The compound is the first example of synthetic CM
P-NANA analog that exhibited inhibitory effects on the activity of GM(
3) and GD(3) synthases.
