Two new C-1 epimeric hydroxymethyl castanospermine congeners 2a and 2b, synthesized by stereocontrolled intramolecular double reductive amination of D-glucose derived beta-keto ester as a key step, showed impressive immuno-potentiating property. The bioactivity was mediated through up-regulation of T(H1)/T(H2) cytokine ratio.

Celgosivir (6-O-butanoyl castanospermine), a pro-drug of the naturally occurring castanospermine, is an inhibitor of α-glucosidase I and II that is found to be a potent inhibitor of several enveloped viruses including all four serotypes of dengue virus. We showed previously

[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.

sp(2)-Iminosugar-type castanospermine analogues bearing an alpha-configured N-, S-, or C-linked pseudoanomeric group have been designed as selective inhibitors of the neutral alpha-glucosidases involved in N-glycoprotein processing; evaluation in breast cancer cell growth indicated a significant antiproliferative potential that was dependent

Saccharide primers, such as dodecyl beta-lactoside (Lac-C12), are unique artificial precursors of glycolipid synthesis. In culture media supplemented with saccharide primers, they are taken up by the cells in the culture media and glycosylated by cellular glycosyltransferases in the Golgi
