Moranoline (1-Deoxynojirimycin) Fermentation and Its Improvement
Moranoline (1-deoxynojirimycin) is a strong α-glucosidase inhibitor. A rapid screening method for isolation of moranoline-producing Streptomyces (oblate agar plate method) was developed. A glucoamylase inhibitor was isolated from the culture filtrate of Streptomyces lavendulae GC-148, a mutant strain obtained from Streptomyces lavendulae MB-733, a soil

1-Deoxynojirimycin Derivatives from the Marine Sponge Lendenfeldia chondrodes [PDF]
Two 1-deoxynojirimycin derivatives, 1-deoxynojirimycin-6-phosphate (1) and N-methyl-1-deoxynojirimycin-6-phosphate (2) were isolated from an aqueous extract of Micronesian marine sponge Lendenfeldia chondrodes for the first time as natural products. Structures of these compounds were assigned on the basis of their spectral data and chemical degradation.
