The glycoprotein processing inhibitor castanospermine (CS) and the monosaccharide mannose-6-phosphate (M6P), as well as some sulfated polysaccharides (SPS), have been shown to inhibit inflammation in rat models of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis and adjuvant-induced arthritis. Here, the anti-inflammatory effects of these
An asymmetric synthesis of (+)-castanospermine is presented in which enol ether metathesis-hydroboration/oxidation is used for stereoselective installation of the trans-trans hydroxyl groups on the piperidine ring of the alkaloid.

A nine-step synthesis of (+)-castanospermine has been accomplished in 22% overall yield from methyl alpha-D-glucopyranoside. The key transformations involve a zinc-mediated fragmentation of benzyl-protected methyl 6-iodoglucopyranoside, ring-closing olefin metathesis, and strain-release transannular cyclization to afford the indolizidine skeleton of the
Synthesis of a panel of iso(thio)urea-type ring-modified castanospermine analogues bearing a freely mutarotating pseudoanomeric hydroxyl group results in tight-binding beta-glucosidase inhibitors with unusual binding signatures; the presence of an N-octyl substituent imparts a remarkable anomeric selectivity, promoting strong binding of
The utility of a D-glucose-derived aziridine carboxylate was demonstrated for the synthesis of polyhydroxylated quinolizidine and indolizidine alkaloids. The chemoselective reduction of 1 followed by two-carbon homologation by the Wittig reaction afforded gamma,delta-aziridino-alpha,beta-unsaturated ester 9, which on regioselective nucleophilic aziridine
