Isofagomine and a carbohydrate-like tetrahydrooxazine, as their N-benzyloxycarbonyl derivatives, have been subjected to a glycosynthase in the presence of α-D-glucopyranosyl fluoride as a glucosyl donor. In each case, after protecting group removal, a mixture of 1,4-β-linked di-, tri-, and tetra-'saccharides' was obtained. These novel oligosaccharide derivatives were tested as inhibitors of the endo-glycanase Cex from Cellulomonas fimi. Affinities increased progressively as additional D-glucosyl residues were incorporated, which is consistent with the known substrate specificity of this enzyme.

Using structural insight, the binding mode of isofagomine-derived inhibitors with family GH9 glycosidases is achieved via the study of Alicyclobacillus acidocaldarius (AaCel9A) endoglucanase. In contrast to what was observed in the first report using thes
