Abstract

Deoxy and other analogues of D-glucosaminylphosphatidylinositol 1 have been synthesised and tested as substrates or inhibitors of a de-N-acetylase and mannosyltransferase (MT-1) involved in the biosynthesis of the glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) membrane anchor of the parasite Trypanosoma brucei.
