Abstract

A series of UDP-d-glucose derivatives and precursors that have been modified at C-3 were synthesised from d-glucose as potential chain terminators of β-glucan biosynthesis. None of the UDP-derivatives or the precursors tested displayed significant anti-fungal activity in a series of germination assays on the dermatophyte Trichophyton rubrum.
