title: Synthesis of N-substituted iminosugar derivatives and their immunosuppressive activities.
abstract: Several N-alkyl and hydroxyethyl-substituted iminosugar derivatives, including L-altro and D-galacto epimers, were synthesized and the effects of these synthetic iminosugars on proliferation of mouse splenocytes were evaluated in the MTT assay. The experimental data demonstrated that the N-alkylated D-galacto iminosugars showed better inhibitory activities than L-altro analogues, which might hold potential as immunosuppressive agents.
