Looking glass inhibitors: both enantiomeric N-benzyl derivatives of 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino-D-lyxitol [a potent competitive inhibitor of alpha-D-galactosidase] and of 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino-L-lyxitol [a weak competitive inhibitor of alpha-D-galactosidase] inhibit naringinase, an alpha-L-rhamnosidase competitively

Benzhydryl protection by diphenyldiazomethane of an alcohol in enantiomeric base-sensitive ribonolactones allows short efficient syntheses of 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino-d-lyxitol (DIL) and of 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino-l-lyxitol (LIL). DIL showed potent [Ki = 0.13 μM]-and LIL showed weak [Ki = 113 μM]-competi...
