Description: | 2-Deoxy-2-fluoro-L-fucose, an L-fucose analog, is a fucosylation inhibitor. 2-Deoxy-2-fluoro-L-fucose inhibits de novo synthesis of GDP-fucose in mammalian cells. Fucosylation is a relatively well-defined biomarker for progression in many human cancers; for example, pancreatic and hepatocellular carcinoma[1]. |
