Abstract: N-substituted azacycle derivative compounds represented by formula (I): wherein m, q, r, t and u are independently selected from 0 or 1; and p is 0, 1, 2, or 3; and A, B, D, X, Y, R, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, R8, R9, R10 and R11 are fully described herein. The compounds being particularly useful in compositions comprising an insecticidally effective amount of at least one compound of formula I, and an insecticidally compatible carrier are also disclosed; along with methods of controlling insects comprising applying said compositions to a locus where insects are present or are expected to be present.

Abstract: General methods for monitoring the activity of MurG, a GlcNAc transferase involved in bacterial cell wall biosynthesis, is disclosed. More particularly, the synthesis of simplified substrate analogs of Lipid I (the natural substrate for MurG), which function as acceptors for UDP-GlcNAc in an enzymatic reaction catalyzed by MurG, is described. Assays using the substrate analogs of the invention are further disclosed, which are useful for identifying a variety of other substrates, including inhibitors of MurG activity, for facilitating mechanistic and/or structural studies of the enzyme and for other uses. High throughput assays are also described.
