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

Mulberry 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ), a potent α-glycosidase inhibitor, has therapeutic potency in the suppression of postprandial blood glucose levels thereby possibly preventing diabetes mellitus. However, DNJ has a relatively short half-life in vivo (about 2 h). Therefore, several doses of mulberry

A spectrophotometric assay for glucosidase I using the synthetic trisaccharide alpha-D-Glc 1-->2 alpha-D-Glc 1-->3 alpha-D-Glc-O(CH2)8COOCH3 is reported. The terminal glucose is released from the substrate by the enzyme and quantitated using glucose oxidase, peroxidase, and o-dianisidine. The trisaccharide is specific
