The first step in the biosynthesis of neuraminic acid, the "epimerisation" of UDP-GlcNAc to ManNAc, is catalyzed by UDP-GlcNAc 2-epimerase. In this paper we report the synthesis of the C-glycosidic UDP-GlcNAc analogues 1-5 as substrate-based inhibitors of this enzyme. The focus is on the optimal distance and geometry of the connection between the sugar and the UDP-moiety, which are both important for recognition by UDP-GlcNAc 2-epimerase.

As part of efforts to make available new classes of bioactive C-glycoconjugates, D-glucosamine has been effectively converted into a series of 2-deoxy-2-amino-C-glycosides. This versatile approach is keyed by a remarkably effective metal catalyzed olefin isomerization of the isomeric C-allyl amino sugars which, in turn, are readily available via radical allylation of D-glucosamine.
Synthesis of Novel Donor Mimetics of UDP-Gal, UDP-GlcNAc, and UDP-GalNAc as Potential Transferase Inhibitors

For the enzymatic transfer of galactose, N-acetylglucosamine, and N-acetylgalactosamine, UDP-Gal (1), UDP-GlcNAc (2), and UDP-GalNAc (3) are employed, and UDP serves as a feedback inhibitor. In this paper the synthesis of the novel UDP-sugar analogues 4, 5, and 6 as potential transferase inhibitors is described. Compounds 4-6 feature C-glycosidic hydroxymethylene linkages between the sugar and nucleoside moieties in contrast to the anomeric oxygens in the natural derivatives 1-3.
