SYNTHESIS FROM D-MANNOSE OF 1,4-DIDEOXY-1,4-IMINO-L-RIBITOL AND OF THE ALPHA-MANNOSIDASE INHIBITOR 1,4-DIDEOXY-1,4-IMINO-D-TALITOL

The syntheses of 1,4-dideoxy-l,4-imino-L-ribitol and of 1,4-dideoxy-l,4-imino-D-talitol from D-mannose are described. 1,4-Dideoxy-l,4-imino-D-talitol is a specific and competitive inhibitor of human liver α-mannosidase in vitro and also blocks the lysosomal catabolism of asparigine-linked glycans of...
