1,6-Dideoxynojirimycin

CAS: 73861-92-4

Dideoxynojirimycin is a potent hydroxamic acid that inhibits glycosidases. It is used to treat metabolic disorders such as glycogen storage diseases. Dideoxynojirimycin has been shown to inhibit the activity of intestinal maltase, an enzyme involved in the digestion of carbohydrates. This drug also inhibits the synthesis of nucleic acids and proteins, which may be due to its ability to bind nucleophilic groups on enzymes and other biological molecules. The kinetic study showed that 1,6-dideoxynojirimycin has a stereoselective effect on mouse splenocytes, inhibiting their proliferation more effectively than 1,6-dideoxy-N-acetylneuraminic acid.
