Looking glass inhibitors: both enantiomeric N-benzyl derivatives of 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino-d-lyxitol [a potent competitive inhibitor of α-d-galactosidase] and of 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino-

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]—competitive inhibition of α-d-galactosidase. Both enantiomers N-benzyl-DIL [Ki = 64 μM] and N-benzyl-LIL [Ki = 13 μM] were moderate competitive inhibitors of naringinase, an α-l-rhamnosidase.
