1,4-Dideoxy-1,4-imino‑D‑arabinitol (DAB) Analogues Possessing a Hydrazide Imide Moiety as Potent and Selective α‑Mannosidase Inhibitors

Abstract

The synthesis of two polyhydroxylated pyrrolidines as 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino-D-arabinitol (DAB) analogues bearing a hydrazide moiety is described. The DAB analogues act as selective and potent inhibitors of α-mannosidase in the submicromolar concentration ranges (Ki values ranging from 0.23 to 1.4 μM)
