The invention relates to inhibitors of polysialic (PSA) de-N-acetylase, methods of their production and use. The methods involve use of a PSA de-N-acetylase inhibitor for modifying the growth of cells, such as inhibiting the growth of cancer cells. The compositions include an inhibitor of a PSA de-N-acetylase, such as N-substituted derivatives of the amino sugars hexosamine and neuraminic acid, as well as conjugates and aggregates. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions that include a PSA de-N-acetylase inhibitor of the invention. Kits containing one or more inhibitor compositions of the invention, as well as methods of preparing the compositions also are provided.
