Inhibitors of Galactosyltransferase (GalT) have the potential of reducing the amounts of adhesive carbohydrates on secreted and cell surface-bound glycoproteins. We recently found a potent inhibitor of beta 4GalT, 2-naphthyl 2-butanamido-2-deoxy-1-thio-beta-D-glucopyranoside (compound 612). In this work, we have tested compound 612 for the specificity of its inhibition and examined its effect on GalT, and on GlcNAc- and GalNAc-transferases in homogenates of different cell lines, as well as on recombinant glycosyltransferases. Compound 612 was found to be a specific inhibitor of beta 4GalT. The specificity of recombinant human beta 3GalT5 that also acts on GlcNAc-R substrates, revealed similarities to bovine milk beta 4GalT. However, 612 was a poor substrate and not an inhibitor for beta 3GalT5. To further determine the specific structures responsible for the inhibitory property of 612, we synthesized (2-naphthyl)-2-butanamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosylamine (compound 629) containing nitrogen in the glycosidic linkage, and compared it to other naphthyl and quinolinyl derivatives of GlcNAc as substrates and inhibitors. Compound 629 was a substrate for both beta 4GalT and beta 3GalT5. This suggests that properties of 612 other than the presence of the naphthyl ring alone were responsible for its inhibitory action. The results suggest a usefulness of 612 in specifically blocking the synthesis of type 2 chains and thus epitopes attached to type 2 chains. In addition, 612 potently inhibits beta 4GalT in cell homogenates and thus allows assaying beta 3GalT activity in the presence of beta 4GalT.
