Synthesis and glycosidase inhibition of the enantiomer of (-)-steviamine, the first example of a new class of indolizidine alkaloid.
(+)-Steviamine, the enantiomer of the natural (-)-steviamine, and its corresponding C5 epimer have been synthesized from the D-ribose-derived cyclic nitrone. (-)-Steviamine was found to be the first naturally occurring iminosugar that causes any inhibition of alpha-galactosaminidases.
