Edward G Bowen et al.
Organic letters, 12(22), 5330-5333 (2010-10-23)
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
Benjamin Pluvinage et al.
Organic & biomolecular chemistry, 7(20), 4169-4172 (2009-10-02)
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.

Organic letters, 8(21), 4739-4742 (2006-10-06)
[reaction: see text] An asymmetric total synthesis of (-)-swainsonine and (+)-6-epicastanospermine is described from a common intermediate, which is obtained through diastereoselective [2 + 2] cycloaddition of dichloroketene to a chiral enol ether.
Matilde Aguilar-Moncayo et al.
Organic & biomolecular chemistry, 7(13), 2738-2747 (2009-06-18)
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
Thomas Jensen et al.
The Journal of organic chemistry, 74(22), 8886-8889 (2009-10-28)
A nine-step synthesis of (+)-castanospermine has been accomplished in 22% overall yield from methyl alpha-D-glucopyranoside. The key transformations involve a zinc-mediated fragmentation of benzyl-protected methyl 6-iodoglucopyranoside, ring-closing olefin metathesis, and strain-release transannular cyclization to afford the indolizidine skeleton of the
