molecules, because blocking fucosylation will allow glycosidase-catalyzed hydrolysis of the labeled oligosaccharide to produce a fluorescent signal. Employing this assay, we have screened a focused library of small molecules for inhibitors of a human FUT enzyme involved in the synthesis of sialyl LewisX and demonstrated that our approach can be used to identify potent FUT inhibitors from compound libraries
Abstract A nine-stage synthesis of 4-(5-aryl-4-methyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-ylmethylthio)cresoxyacetic acids as new new potential PPARδ/β agonists based on substituted benzoic acids has been developed. Sulfone analogs of the synthesized acids were obtained from the ester intermediates of the latter.
