A series of UDP-GlcNAc derivatives and precursors that have been modified at the 4-position were synthesised from N-acetyl glucosamine as potential chain terminators of chitin biosynthesis. None of the UDP-derivatives or the precursors tested displayed any significant anti-fungal activity in cell adhesion or germination assays on the dermatophyte Trichophyton rubrurn.
