Due to their stability in vivo and their activity as glycosidase inhibitors or activators, iminosugars are among the most promising drug candidates for the treatment of diseases such as diabetes, viral infections and lysosomal storage disorders.[1] Recently, our group has identified a series of iminosugars (i.e. compounds 1 and 2), exhibiting a quaternary center in α-position of their nitrogen atom, which proved to be excellent inhibitors (nanomolar Ki) of α-glucosidases with exquisite selectivity.[2]

In this communication, the synthesis of novel iminosugars from carbohydrate-derived nitrones will be presented. The variety of synthetic methods that can be applied to nitrones to prepare bioactive molecules will be emphasized by successful syntheses of original iminosugar scaffolds.[3] Investigation of the biological activities of these new molecules will also be presented, and discussed in light of crystallographic analyses of iminosugar-glycosidase complexes.[4]
