What is CASTANOSPERMINE?
Description
Glucosidases catalyze the cleavage of individual glucosyl residues from various glycoconjugates, including complex carbohydrates and glycoproteins. Castanospermine is an inhibitor of both α-
Chemical properties
White Crystalline Solid
Occurrence
The seeds of Castanospermum australe yield this simple alkaloid. It forms colourless crystals from EtOH and is dextrorotatory with a specific rotation of [α]D25 +79.7° (c 0.93, H20). Castano spermine has been characterized as the crystalline methiodide, m.p. 11O-112°C.
The Uses of CASTANOSPERMINE
Castanospermine is a plant alkaloid shown to be a potent inhibitor of lysosomal a-or beta- glucosidase. It also inhibits mammalian glucosidase 1 and beta-mannosidase from sweet almonds and fungal beta-xylosidase.
The Uses of CASTANOSPERMINE
a-L-fucosidases inhibitor
The Uses of CASTANOSPERMINE
Castanospermine, is used as a glycosidase inhibitor and antiinflammatory agent.castanospermine is used to inhibit syncytium formation between HIV-infected and CD4-expressing cells and may also interfere with infectivity. It has also been demonstrated that this agent inhibits inflammation at the level of leukocyte extravasation in rat models of experimental adjuvant-induced arthritis and autoimmune encephalomyelitis. Castanospermine is an inhibitor of Glucosidase I, Maltase-glucoamylase, and MANBA. Potent inhibitor of α- and β-glucosidases, especially glucosidase l (required for glucoprotein processing by transfer of mannose and glucose from asparagine-linked lipids). Inhibits HIV syncytium formation and replication.
What are the applications of Application
Castanospermine is a glycosidase inhibitor and antiinflammatory agent
Definition
ChEBI: Castanospermine is a tetrahydroxyindolizidine alkaloid that consists of octahydroindolizine having four hydroxy substituents located at positions 1, 6, 7 and 8 (the 1S,6S,7R,8R,8aR-diastereomer). It has a role as a metabolite, an anti-HIV-1 agent, an anti-inflammatory agent and an EC 3.2.1.* (glycosidase) inhibitor.
Biological Activity
Potent inhibitor of α - and β -glucosidases, especially glucosidase l (required for glucoprotein processing by transfer of mannose and glucose from asparagine-linked lipids). Inhibits HIV syncytium formation and replication.
