title: Synthesis of 2-deoxy-hexopyranosyl derivatives of uridine as donor substrate analogues for glycosyltransferases.
abstract: A series of 2-deoxy-hexopyranosyl derivatives of uridine have been synthesized as analogues of UDP-sugar. These compounds were tested as inhibitors against bovine beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase I in fluorescent assays and showed no significant inhibition.
