Some pyrrolidine analogues of galactofuranose - synthesised from carbohydrate lactones - are the first known inhibitors of E. coli K12 UDP-Gal mutase and mycobacterial galactan biosynthesis.:This inhibition may form a new chemotherapeutic strategy for the treatment of human pathogens which contain integral galactofuranosyl structures such as tuberculosis and leprosy.
