A. Esposito et al., SYNTHESIS OF AMPHIPHILIC POLYHYDROXYLATED PYRROLIDINES AS POTENTIAL GLYCOSIDASE INHIBITORS, Tetrahedron letters, 39(36), 1998, pp. 6543-6546
Several polyhydroxylated pyrrolidines with an aliphatic long chain on
the ring nitrogen were prepared starting from D-mannitol. An amphiphil
ic bis-azasugar scaffold has been also prepared. These products behave
as cationic surfactants and show a promising anti HIV-I activity. (C)
