1 deoxynojirimycin

1-Deoxynojirimycin (Moranoline) is a potent α-glucosidase inhibitor, suppressing postprandial blood glucose, thereby possibly preventing diabetes mellitus.

1-Deoxynojirimycin hydrochloride (Moranoline) is a potent and selective inhibitor of alpha-glucosidase, most commonly found in mulberry leaves. Duvoglustat is used to suppress the elevation of postprandial hyperglycemia.

The effect of N-(3-phenyl-2-propenyl)-1-deoxynojirimycin (ppDNM) on the lectin binding to HIV-1 glycoprotein was analyzed by using biotinylated lectins of various sugar specificities as probes. ppDNM potentially inhibited HIV-1-induced syncytium formation and viral infectivity of HIV-1 without cytotoxicity. The lectin binding assay showed that ppDNM treatment reduced Con A binding to gp120 of HIV-1.

1-Deoxynojirimycin, a potent glucose analog, inhibits α-glucosidase I and II effectively. Its derivative, N-5-Carboxypentyl-1-deoxynojirimycin, serves as a ligand for glucosidase I and II purification, utilizing carboxypentyl groups for affinity chromatography resin linkage. Furthermore, N-5-Carboxypentyl-1-deoxynojirimycin demonstrates comparable or superior inhibition of glucosidase compared to 1-deoxynojirimycin, with inhibition constants (Ki) of 0.45 µM and 2.1 µM, respectively, for pig liver glucosidase I.

N-Methylmoranoline is an inhibitor of α-glucosidase.

Deoxynojirimycin (dNM) tetrabenzyl ether is an intermediate for the synthesis of glucosylceramide synthase inhibitors such as 1-dNM, a glucose analog that potently inhibits α-glucosidase I and II.

Fagomine (D-Fagomine) is a mild glycosidase inhibitor, an analog of 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) with hypoglycemic activity, and Fagomine reduces intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels.
