Sialyltransferases (STs) are involved in the biosynthesis of glycoconjugates with important biological activities. Most STs utilize cytidine-5′-monophospho-N-acetylneuraminic acid (CMP-Neu5Ac) as a common donor substrate. A bisubstrate analogue containing the donor substrate (CMP-Neu5Ac mimic) and the acceptor substrate (galactose) was synthesized. Four donor analogues having the partial structure of the bisubstrate analogue were also synthesized to support study of the structure-activity relationship. Each analogue contains an ethylene group in place of the exocyclic anomeric oxygen of CMP-Neu5Ac. The bisubstrate analogue exhibited only weak inhibitory activity to rat recombinant α-2,3- and α-2,6-ST (IC50 = 1.3, 2.4 mM). Conversion of the C-1 carboxylate of the Neu5Ac moiety to carboxyamide, hydroxymethyl, or methylene phosphate each resulted in a reduction in inhibitory activity. Among the synthesized analogues, cytidin-5′-yl sialylethylphosphonate (4) was the most potent inhibitor against rat recombinant α-2,3- and α-2,6-ST (IC50 = 0.047, 0.34 mM).
