Abstract
Salted away. Shortcomings in the potency and selectivity of natural glycosidase inhibitors, such as swainsonine (1), have led to the proposal of a host of alternative synthetic structural motifs. This paper reports the synthesis of the polyhydroxylated sulfonium salt 2 and demonstrates it to be a potent inhibitor of various human class II α-D-mannosidase activities.
