KIFUNENSINE

Description

Historically isolated from Kitasatosporia kifunense.1?Kifunensine (CAS 109944-15-2) is an inhibitor of class I α-mannosidases which inhibit glycoprotein processing. Inhibits human endoplasmic reticulum α-1,2-mannosidase I and Golgi Class I mannosidases IA, IB and IC with Ki values of 130 and 23 nM respectively.2 Inhibition of endoplasmic reticulum a-mannosidase I activity rescues the human a-sarcoglycan R77C mutation suggesting a new pharmacological approach for limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2D patients carrying mutations that impair a-sarcoglycan trafficking.3 Improves maturation of misfolded proteins.4

The Uses of KIFUNENSINE

Kifunensine is an alkaloid produced by the fungus, Kitasatosporia kifunense, and has been shown to be a weak inhibitor of aryl mannosidase. It is a unique oxamide derivative of mannojirimycin and a potent inhibitor of the glycoprotein processing enzyme

The Uses of KIFUNENSINE

Kifunensine is an alkaloid produced by the fungus, Kitasatosporia kifunense, and has been shown to be a weak inhibitor of aryl mannosidase. It is a unique oxamide derivative of mannojirimycin and a potent inhibitor of the glycoprotein processing enzyme mannosidase I. Kifunenesine is ineffective in inhibiting either mannosidase II or the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) a-mannosidase. It also possesses immunomodulating properties based on chemical, physicochemical and x-ray crystallographic analysis.When tested in cell culture using influenza virus-infected MDCK cells, kifunensine, at 1 mg/ml or less, caused almost complete inhibition of complex chain formation with the accumulation of Man9(GlcNAc)2. Thus, kifunensine was proven to be 50 to 100 times more effective than deoxymannojirimycin.Ph

What are the applications of Application

Kifunensine is an immunoactive cell adhesion inhibitor that displays competitive inhibition against immunosuppressive factor in mice
