Design and synthesis of iminosugar-based inhibitors of glucosylceramide synthase: the search for new therapeutic agents against Gaucher disease
A series of iminosugars bearing two or three alkyl chains ('iminoglycolipids') were designed as ceramide mimics and analogues of N-butyl 1-deoxynojirimycin (N-Bu DNJ, Zavesca®). This orally active iminosugar inhibits the biosynthesis of glucosylceramides, which accumulate pathologically in...
