I. Mccort et al., Synthesis and evaluation as glycosidase inhibitors of 2,5-imino-D-glucitoland 1,5-imino-D-mannitol related derivatives, BIO MED CH, 8(1), 2000, pp. 135-143
Selectively functionalized 2,5-imino-D-glucitol and 1,5-imino-D-mannitol de
rivatives were synthesized and tested as precursors of hydrolytically resis
tant pseudo-disaccharides. Among them N-acetyl-6-amino-6-deoxy-2,5-imino-D-
glucitol (11) and N-acetyl-6-amino-6-deoxy- 1,5-imino-D-mannitol (12) were
found potent and specific inhibitors against beta-D-glucosidase and alpha-L
-fucosidase, respectively. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserv
