New 5'-glycyl derivatives of uridine containing fragments of varying lipophilicity were synthesized as analogues of natural peptidyl antibiotics. One of the studied compounds, 5'-O-(N-succinylglycyl)-2',3'-O-isopropylideneuridine (A4), showed moderate inhibition against 1,4-β-galactosyltransferase. However, additional studies showed that the observed inhibitory effect was due to binding to bovine serum albumin, which was used in assays as a stabilizer.
