Fucosyltransferase 2 inhibitors: Identification via docking and STD-NMR studies

Fucosyltransferase 2 (FUT2) catalyzes the biosynthesis of A, B, and H antigens and other important glycans, such as (Sialyl Lewisx) sLex, and (Sialyl Lewisy) sLey. The production of these glycans is increased in various cancers, hence to design and develop specific inhibitors of FUT2 is a therapeutic strategy. The current study was designed to identify the inhibitors for FUT2. In silico screening of 300 synthetic compounds was performed. Molecular docking studies highlighted the interactions of...
