ALPHA-HOMONOJIRIMYCIN

Description:

Alpha-Homonojirimycin is a chemical compound classified as an iminosugar, which is a type of sugar analog that contains a nitrogen atom in place of an oxygen atom in the sugar ring. This compound is known for its potential biological activity, particularly as an inhibitor of glycosidases, enzymes that play a crucial role in carbohydrate metabolism. Due to its structural similarity to natural sugars, alpha-homonojirimycin can interfere with the normal functioning of these enzymes, making it of interest in research related to diabetes and viral infections, as well as in the development of antiviral and anticancer therapies. The compound has been studied for its ability to modulate glycosylation processes, which are vital for protein function and cell signaling. Additionally, alpha-homonojirimycin may exhibit various pharmacological properties, although further research is necessary to fully understand its mechanisms of action and therapeutic potential. As with many iminosugars, its safety profile and efficacy in clinical applications are subjects of ongoing investigation.

a-Homonojirimycin

CAS: 119557-99-2

a-Homonojirimycin is a chaperone that is effective in inhibiting HIV infection. It has been shown to inhibit the activity of chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidase A, and aminopeptidase B. The model system used for this compound was the human liver, which showed that a-homonojirimycin had a potent inhibitory activity against these enzymes. This drug also has a dry weight of 1,520 g/mol and an effective dose of 0.01 mg/mL. In vitro studies have shown that a-homonojirimycin inhibits influenza virus by binding to the hemagglutinin protein on the surface of the virus and preventing its attachment to host cells.
