Abstract

A fragmented approach: 3-Phenyl-5-piperazino-1,2,4-thiadiazole (designated "compound382" in the Ro5 Maybridge Fragment Library, see scheme) is demonstrated to be an effective inhibitor of human blood group glycosyltransferaseB. The compound interferes with both acceptor and donor binding and also displaces the Mn 2+ ion in the binding pocket.
