title: Synthesis and glycosidase inhibitory activity of noeurostegine-a new and potent inhibitor of beta-glucoside hydrolases.
abstract: A new, stable hemi-aminal nor-tropane christened noeurostegine was synthesised in 22 steps from levoglucosan and tested for inhibitory activity against glycoside hydrolases. Sweet almond and Thermotoga maritimabeta-glucosidases, coffee bean alpha-galactosidase, and Asp. oryzaebeta-galactosidase were inhibited in the low micromolar region but significant tightening of binding to K(i) 50 nM for almond beta-glucosidase was found to occur after pre-incubation. Yeast alpha-glucosidase and E. colibeta-galactosidase were not inhibited at 1 mM.
