CONDURITOL B EPOXIDE Usage And Synthesis

Description

Conduritol B epoxide (6090-95-5) is a β-Glycosidase inhibitor.1,2 May be used for generation of the “Gaucher mouse”3 and the in vitro model of the Gaucher cell4.

Chemical Properties

White Crystalline Solid

Uses

inhibitor of glucosidases

Definition

ChEBI: 1-D-1,2-anhydro-myo-inositol is a conduritol epoxide resulting from the formal epoxidation of the double bond of (+)-conduritol B. It has a role as an EC 3.2.1.48 (sucrose alpha-glucosidase) inhibitor and an EC 3.2.1.10 (oligo-1,6-glucosidase) inhibitor. It is functionally related to a (+)-conduritol B. It is an enantiomer of a 1-L-1,2-anhydro-myo-inositol.

General Description

Conduritol B epoxide?(CBE) is a mix of 1-L-1,2-anhydro-myo-inositol and 1-D-1,2-anhydro-myo-inositol.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Conduritol B epoxide?(CBE)?is capable of inactivating sucrase-isomaltase irreversibly. It can be used to produce cell and animal models to study on Gaucher disease (GD) and Parkinson′s disease (PD).

storage

Store at -20°C
