Description
Summary:An amyio-1, 6-glucosidase inhibitor enhanced inhibition of hepatic glucose production in combination with glycogen phosphorylase inhibitor. The inhibitory activity of 1-deoxynojirimycin ( 1) toward human maltase was identical to that of voglibose ( 10) of an anti-diabetic agent. l-Isofagomine ( 8), a noncompetitive inhibitor of lysosomal β-glucosidase. also showed a chaperoning activity in N370S Gaucher fibroblasts. We investigated in vitro inhibition of mammalian carbohydrate-degrading enzymes by six-membered sugar mimics and their evaluation in cell cultures. 1-Deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) showed no significant inhibition toward glycogen phosphorylase (GP) but was a potent inhibitor of another glycogen-degrading enzyme, amylo-1,6-glucosidase (1,6-GL), with an IC 50 value of 0.16 μM. In primary rat hepatocytes, the inhibition of glycogen breakdown by DNJ reached plateau at 100 μM with 25% inhibition and then remained unchanged. The potent GP inhibitor 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino- d-arabinitol ( d-AB1) inhibited hepatic glucose production with an IC 50 value of about 9 μM and the inhibition by d-AB1 was further enhanced in the presence of DNJ. DNJ and α-homonojirimycin (HNJ) are very potent inhibitors of rat intestinal maltase, with IC 50 values of 0.13 and 0.08 μM, respectively, and also showed a similar strong inhibition toward maltase in Caco-2 cell model system, with IC 50 value of 0.05 and 0.10 μM, respectively. d-Isofagomine ( d-IFG) and l-IFG are competitive and noncompetitive inhibitors of human lysosomal β-glucosidase (β-GL), respectively, with K i values of 8.4 nM and 6.9 μM. d-IFG increased intracellular β-GL activity by twofold at 10 μM in Gaucher N370S cell line as an ‘active-site-specific’ chaperone, and surprisingly a noncompetitive inhibitor l-IFG also increased intracellular β-GL activity by 1.6-fold at 500 μM.
