1-Deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) is a naturally occurring alkaloid azasugar or iminosugar. It is observed in mulberry leaves, Commelina communis, and bacterial strains including Bacillus and Streptomyces species. DNJ acts as an α-glucosidase inhibitor and exhibits anti-viral anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, anti-obesity, and antioxidant properties.

Niemann-Pick disease type C (NP-C) is a rare neurovisceral disease characterized by progressive neurodegeneration and premature death. We report data recorded at enrolment in an ongoing international NP-C registry initiated in September 2009 to describe disease natural history, clinical course

A viable treatment for lysosomal storage disease has been very difficult to attain. One option is pharmacological inhibition of synthetic pathways to reduce substrate accumulations. Miglustat N-butyldeoxynojirimycin (NBDNJ), an inhibitor of glucosylceramide synthase, has shown much promise in clinical trials
The asymmetric syntheses of (-)-1-deoxymannojirimycin and (+)-1-deoxyallonojirimycin are described herein. The ring-closing iodoamination of two epimeric bishomoallylic amines to give the corresponding 5-iodomethylpyrrolidines was followed by in situ ring-expansion to give two diastereoisomerically pure (>99:1 dr) cyclic carbonates. Subsequent deprotection

Previous studies have provided equivocal data on the use of miglustat as maintenance therapy in Gaucher disease type 1. We report findings from a clinical trial evaluating the effects of miglustat treatment in patients with stable type 1 Gaucher disease

Zika virus (ZIKV), a vector-borne virus of the family Flaviviridae, continues to spread and remains a significant global public health threat. Currently, there are no approved vaccines or antivirals against ZIKV. We investigated the anti-ZIKV ability of three iminosugars with
