Carbohydrate Processing Inhibition
Carbohydrate Processing Inhibition consists of interference with, or restraint of, activities involved in assembly of carbohydrate-linked structures on cell surfaces, such as inhibition of enzymes responsible for the formation of these structures. Since evidence indicates that carbohydrate structures are involved in intercellular communication, inhibition potentially results in decreased cancer cell growth, invasiveness, and metastasis.
