## Abstract The first step in the biosynthesis of neuraminic acid, the “epimerisation” of UDP‐GlcNAc to ManNAc, is catalyzed by UDP‐GlcNAc 2‐epimerase. In this paper we report the synthesis of the __C__‐glycosidic UDP‐GlcNAc analogues **1**−**5** as substrate‐based inhibitors of this enzyme. The fo
The ''non-hydrolyzing'' bacterial UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase catalyzes the reversible interconversion of UDP-Nacetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc) and UDP-N-acetylmannosamine (UDP-ManNAc). This homodimeric enzyme is allosterically activated by its substrate, UDP-GlcNAc, and it is thought that one
## Abstract A concise route to a new β‐ketophosphonate analog of glycosyl nucleotides is described. Such a diphosphate bioisostere is a stable mimic of enzyme substrates involved in peptidoglycan biosynthesis and will be the starting point for the development of new potential antibiotics. The synth
