title: Thioimidoyl furanosides as first inhibitors of the alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase AbfD3.
abstract: Two sets of five thioimidoyl alpha-L-arabino- and beta-D-galactofuranosides were designed, synthesized and subjected to docking studies to evaluate their ability to be recognized by the active site of the alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase AbfD3. Further in vitro assays showed that the targeted furanosides are the first potent inhibitors of this furanosyl hydrolase and that the most efficient one, the thiazolyl alpha-L-arabinofuranoside 1, is a competitive inhibitor having a KI of 1.4 microM.
