Beschreibung

D-Lyxono-1,4-lactone is an inhibitor of the enzyme fucosidase. It competitively inhibits the enzyme, but does not inhibit other hydroxamic acids such as enantiomers of D-lyxono-1,4-lactone. D-Lyxono-1,4-lactone has been used to treat HIV and AIDS because it prevents viral replication by blocking the synthesis of glycoproteins in the virus's envelope. It also has inhibitory effects on tumor cells that are not dependent on fucosidase activity. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) studies have shown that d-lyxono-1,4-lactone binds to human liver cells and blocks the binding site for cytotoxic molecules in these cells. The molecular modelling study has demonstrated that d-lyxono 1,4 lactone binds to a specific site on human HLA class II molecule and reduces its
