Abstract

Abstract The enzyme α-glucosidase has attracted interest owing to its involvement in the digestive process of carbohydrate, its role in intracellular glycoprotein trafficking, tumorigenesis and viral infection. In this study, several members of a new family of N- heteroarylmethyl substituted azasugars were synthesized and evaluated as α-glucosidase inhibitors. We systematically investigated the effect of different N-substituents as well as ...
