“…Some among the most important examples of iminosugars include polyhydroxylated piperidines Miglitol, Miglustat, and Migalastat ( Figure 1 ), which are FDA-approved drugs for the treatment of type 2 diabetes [ 17 ], Gaucher [ 18 ] and Niemann-Pick type C [ 19 ], and Fabry disease [ 20 ], respectively. Piperidine iminosugars belonging to the unnatural l -series ( l -iminosugars) also exhibit pharmacological properties, such as in the case of l -DGJ [ 21 ], l -NBDNJ [ 22 ] ( Figure 1 ), and its congeners [ 23 , 24 ]. Similarly, iminosugars with a pyrrolidine skeleton (in both enantiomeric series) have been found to hold excellent glycomimetic properties, as in the case of naturally occurring Radicamine A and B [ 25 ], 2,5-dideoxy-2,5-imino- d -mannitol ( d -DMDP), 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino- d -arabinitol ( d -DAB-1) ( Figure 1 ), and their structurally related compounds [ 26 , 27 ].…”
