Importance of Developing the Inhibitors of Sialyl- And Fucosyltransferases

Fucosyltransferases are a class of enzymes that catalyze the transfer reaction between algal sugar molecules. They transfer algal glycosyl groups to substrate molecules in the glycosyl assimilation pathway, provide a spatial molecular vacancy for polysaccharide synthesis, and thus promote the synthesis of polysaccharides. It is involved in many biological activities, such as the modification of cell surface component molecules, involvement in signaling processes, and interactions between pathogens and host cells. Sialyltransferase is an important enzyme involved in the synthesis and regulation of the endogenous plant hormone salicylic acid (SA), and also in the transfer reaction of salicylic acid with coenzyme A to produce acetylsalicylic acid, which is a commonly used analgesic and antipyretic. Therefore, by studying their inhibitors, it is possible to investigate their role in the development and progression of related diseases, which has important biological implications for drug development.
