“…The inhibitory activity of 64 towardsgalactosidase and -mannosidase is quite similar to that of A powerful inhibitior 85 against -fucosidase is similar to that of compound 63 [77,104]. Compounds with (2R,3R,4S)-configuration (86)(87)(88)(89)(90)(91)(92)(93)(94)(95)(96)(97) showed moderate inhibitory activities against -mannosidase [89], and those with a (2R,3S,4R)-configuration (98)(99)(100)(101)(102)(103)(104)(105)(106)(107)(108)(109) tend to inhibitglucosidase and -galactosidase [88,89,93,109,110]. The specificity of these compounds was explained based on the similarity with substrate structures of individual enzymes where it was considered that a flexible pyrrolidine structure could adopt a 4 E conformation and 2-and 3-OH groups might mimic the hydroxyl groups of glucopyranosyl cation species (Fig.…”
