What is 1-Deoxynojirimycin?

Description

Deoxynojirimycin (19130-96-2) inhibits α-glucosidase I and II.1,2 Inhibits human immunodeficiency virus envelope glycoprotein-mediated membrane fusion at the CXCR4 binding step.3 May be used to produce an affinity ligand for purifying glucosidase 1.4 Deoxynojirimycin was used to inhibit ER glucosidases I and II allowing for the discovery of a second mechanism for deglucosylation of N-linked oligosaccharides in PhaR1.7, a mouse lymphoma cell line.5

Chemical properties

White Crystalline Solid

The Uses of 1-Deoxynojirimycin

An alpha-glucosidase inhibitor. Interferes with normal processing of N-linked glycoproteins.(+)-1-Deoxynojirimycin acts as an inhibitor of alfa-glucosidase I and II and maltase-glucoamylase. It also inhibits mammalian glucosidase, intestinal and lysosmal, beta-glucosidase from sweet almonds, pancreatic alfa-amylase and amyloglucosidase. Further, it serves as a enzyme enhancer for the treatment of Fabry and Pompe disease.
