Sugar-mimic glycosidase inhibitors: natural occurrence, biological activity and prospects for therapeutic application

Alkaloids mimicking the structures of monosaccharides are now believed to be widespread in plants and microorganisms, and these sugar mimics inhibit glycosidases because of a structural resemblance to the sugar moiety of the natural substrate. Naturally occurring sugar mimics with a nitrogen in the...
