Five 5-thio-alpha-L-fucopyranosyl derivatives were prepared and examin
ed as inhibitors of the alpha-L-fucosidase from bovine epididymis. The
inhibitory activities of the fucosides strongly depend on the hydroph
obicity of the aglycon. The best inhibition (K-i = 3.3 mu M) was obtai
ned with p-nitrophenyl 1,5-dithio-alpha-L-fucopyranoside. Copyright (C
