Out of these polyhydroxy piperidine azasugars, 22, 39 and 20 were found to be potent as well as selective inhibitors of a-glucosidase with K(i) values ranging as low as 1.07 mu M, 16.4 mu M, and 88.2 mu M, respectively. Replacement of the hydroxy methylene moiety of 19 (K(i) 33% at 1 mM) by an amino methylene moiety (32, K(i) 36.8 mu M) showed a remarkable increase in the activity (almost 30 times). Furthermore, increasing the lipophilicity of 33 by N-alkylation with a dodecyl group (36) showed a three-fold enhancement in the activity (K(i) 217 mu M to K(i) 72.3 mu M).&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">14</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3.559</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
