A small set of N-bridged 1-deoxynojirimycin dimers has been synthesized and evaluated as potential inhibitors of insect trehalase from midge larvae of C. riparius, porcine trehalase as the mammalian counterpart and α-amylase from human saliva. All the tested compounds (2-4) proved to be active (micromolar range activity) against insect trehalase, showing selectivity towards the insect glycosidase. No activity was observed against α-amylase.

Abstract
A small set of N-bridged 1-deoxynojirimycin dimers has been synthesized and evaluated as potential inhibitors of insect trehalase from midge larvae of C. riparius, porcine trehalase as the mammalian counterpart and α-amylase from human saliva. All the tested compounds (2-4) proved to be active (micromolar range activity) against insect trehalase, showing selectivity towards the insect glycosidase. No activity was observed against α-amylase.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
