    Abstract

    Four unsaturated aminopyranosides have been prepared as possible transition-state mimics targeted towards carbohydrate processing enzymes. The conformations of the protonated aminosugars have been investigated by molecular modelling and their ability to inhibit α- and β-glucosidases and an α-mannosidase have been probed. Two targets proved moderate inhibitors of α-glucosidases from Brewer's yeast and Bacillus stearothermophilus.
