The terminators . A chain‐termination approach was employed to rationally design monosaccharide derivatives as inhibitors of chitin biosynthesis by replacement of the 4‐hydroxyl group of N ‐acetyl glucosamine monomers. Antifungal activity was observed for a variety of acylated monosaccharide and oxazoline derivatives by means of fungal‐spore germination and adhesion assays.
