Abstract
2-Acetamido-1,2-dideoxy-d-galacto-nojirimycin [DGJNAc], prepared in 20% overall yield from d-glucuronolactone, is the first potent competitive sub-micromolar inhibitor of α-N-acetyl-galactosaminidases (Ki 0.081 μM from chicken liver, Ki 0.136 μM from Charonia lampas). DGJNAc is a good competitive-whereas the enantiomer l-DGJNAc is a very weak but non-competitive-inhibitor of β-hexosaminidases.
