Abstract

The synthesis and conformations of 3-O-methylDMJ, 3-O-(α-D-glucopyranosyl)-DMJ (Glcα1,3DMJ), and 3-O-(α-D-mannopyranosyl)-DMJ (Manα1,3DMJ) are described. Manα1,3DMJ and Glcα1,3DMJ are shown to be very powerful inhibitors of an endomannosidase. The potential use of these compounds in both probing the pathways of N-linked glycoprotein processing and in the chemotherapy of some viral diseases is discussed.
