2,6-Dideoxy-7-O-(beta-D-glucopyranosyl) 2,6-imino-D-glycero-L-gulo- heptitol (7-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-alpha-homonojirimycin, 1) was isolated from the 50% methanol extract of the whole plant of Lobelia sessilifolia (Campanulaceae), which was found to potently inhibit rice alpha-glucosidase. Adenophorae radix, roots of Adenophora spp. (Campanulaceae), yielded new homonojirimycin derivatives, adenophorine

Although there are 32 6-azidoheptitols, there are only 16 homonojirimycin (HNJ) stereoisomers. Two epimeric azidoalditols derived from d-mannose allow the synthesis in water of eight stereoisomers of HNJ.

The structure of a homonojirimycin isomer isolated from Aglaonema treublii and originally proposed as alpha-3,4-di-epi-homonojirimycin was revised to alpha-4-epi-homonojirimycin 3 ("alpha-homoallonojirimycin") on the basis of NMR analysis and synthetic studies. Its activity as a glycosidase inhibitor is compared to that

Conjugate addition of n-butyl amine to d-glucose derived alpha,beta-unsaturated ester 4 afforded beta-amino esters 5a,b that on reduction of ester group, 1,2-acetonide deprotection, and reductive amination led to the formation of corresponding N-butyl 1-deoxy-D-gluco-homonojirimycin 2c and N-butyl 1-deoxy-L-ido-homonojirimycin 2d which

We investigated in vitro inhibition of mammalian carbohydrate-degrading enzymes by six-membered sugar mimics and their evaluation in cell cultures. 1-Deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) showed no significant inhibition toward glycogen phosphorylase (GP) but was a potent inhibitor of another glycogen-degrading enzyme, amylo-1,6-glucosidase (1,6-GL)
