General description

Chemical structure: glucosamine

Application

1-Deoxynojirimycin hydrochloride has been used
  • to study its effects on the loss-of-function of N-glycosylation pathway on hair cell regeneration
  • as an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) α-glucosidase I and II inhibitor to study its effects on TMED3-cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) interaction
  • as an insect trehalase inhibitor in TREH inhibition bioassay

Biochem/physiol Actions

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.

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
