Synthesis of 2-acetamido-1,2-dideoxy-d-galacto-nojirimycin [DGJNAc] from d-glucuronolactone: the first sub-micromolar inhibitor of α-N-acetylgalactosaminidases

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-wh...
