Synthesis of dihydroxymethyl dihydroxypyrrolidines from C-2 formyl d-glycals has been described via a common dicarbonyl intermediate. The hence obtained pyrrolidines have been further utilized for the synthesis of some steviamine analogues. The newly synthesized molecules have been evaluated for glycosidase inhibition against 6 commercially available enzymes and found to be active in the micromolar range, where one of the steviamine analogues showed good and selective inhibition of β-mannosidase (Helix pomatia).

Chitin synthase is an enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of chitin, a major structural component of the cell wall of many fungi. Since chitin is absent in vertebrates, chitin synthase has been envisaged as a valuable target in the search for new antifung
