The synthesis of amino-derivatives of castanospermine and australine and their characterisation as inhibitors of the exo-beta-D-glucosaminidase CsxA through enzyme kinetics and X-ray structural analysis is described.
The asymmetric total synthesis of the α-glucosidase inhibitor (+)-castanospermine is reported. The central theme in our approach to this polyhydroxylated alkaloid is the simultaneous generation of the piperidine ring and the C-1/8a erythro stereodiad through the diastereoselective, oxamidation of an

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.
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
