title: [Synthesis of 2-acetamido-1,4-imino-1,2,4-tridesoxy-D-galactitol and competitive inhibition of human lysosomal beta-hexosaminidase A].
abstract: The synthesis of 2-acetamido-1,4-imino-1,2,4-trideoxy-D-galactitol (1; 2-acetamido-4-amino-1,4-anhydro-2,4-dideoxy-D-galactitol) by two different routes starting from 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose is described. Compound 1 is a competitive inhibitor of human lysosomal beta-hexosaminidase A with K(i) values of 18 microM (beta-subunit) and 220 microM (alpha-subunit). Similar properties were found for the already known 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-gluco-hydroximo-1,4-lactone.
