Abstract
The synthesis of an isofagomine analogue with an amidine group in the 1,6-position is described. Density functional theory calculations showed that this compound has a remarkably different charge distribution compared with isofagomine. This may explain why the amidine is a poor glycosidase inhibitor (IC50 > 50 µM against all tested enzymes) compared with isofagomine.
