G. Mehta et Ss. Ramesh, Polycyclitols. Novel conduritol and carbasugar hybrids as a new class of potent glycosidase inhibitors, CHEM COMMUN, (24), 2000, pp. 2429-2430
We have conceptualized new molecular entities (bicyclitols) in which two co
nduritol and two carbasugar moieties are embedded in a polyhydroxylated dec
ahydronaphthalene framework and achieved their syntheses in a stereo- and r
egioselective manner. One of the bicyclitols was found to be a potent and s
elective alpha -glucosidase inhibitor.
