Tetrafluorination of sugars as strategy for enhancing protein-carbohydrate affinity: application to UDP-Galp mutase inhibition

Tetrafluorinated analogues of both UDP-galactosylpyranose and UDP-galactosylfuranose have been synthesized and assayed against UDP-galactopyranose mutase, a key enzyme of M. tuberculosis cell wall biosynthesis. Competition assays and STD-NMR techniques have evidenced not only the first unambiguous c...
