title: Thio-sugars. IV: Design and synthesis of S-linked fucoside analogs as a new class of alpha-L-fucosidase inhibitors.
abstract: alpha-1-Thio-L-fucose derivative 4 and 5 as new alpha-fucosidase inhibitors (K1 = 4.6, and 5.9 microM) have been synthesized in three steps by base catalyzed coupling with bromonitromethane followed by reduction of the nitro group with sodium borohydride/cobalt chloride complex and acetylation.
