5-epi-deoxyrhamnojirimycin is a potent inhibitor of an alpha-L-rhamnosidase: 5-epi-deoxymannojirimycin is not a potent inhibitor of an alpha-D-mannosidase

Whereas deoxyrhamnojirimycin (LRJ) 1 shows no significant inhibition of naringinase (an α-L-rhamnosidase), its C-5 epimer 2 is a potent and specific inhibitor of the enzyme and demonstrates the value of unambiguous chemical synthesis of such materials in the evaluation of their biological properties...
