Comparative genomic analysis of azasugar biosynthesis
Azasugars are monosaccharide analogs in which the ring oxygen is replaced with a nitrogen atom. These well-known glycosidase inhibitors are of interest as therapeutics, yet several aspects of azasugars remain unknown including their distribution ...

Backgound Shiga toxin 2 (Stx2), one of two Stx liberated by Stx-producing Escherichia coli, is composed of an A subunit monomer and a B subunit pentamer, and is directly linked with hemolytic uremic syndrome in children. The pentameric B subunit binds to

Mass Spectrometry Insights Into Post‐Translational Modifications in Extracellular Vesicles
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane‐enclosed structures secreted by virtually all living cells, serving as essential mediators of intercellular communication in both physiological and pathological processes. There is growing interest in their potential applications as biomarkers, therapeutic targets, and drug delivery systems, which ...

Hybrid sugars as glycosidase inhibitors en route to 2-deoxy-2-amino C-glycosyl amino acids
Sugar-azasugar hybrid molecules made up of D-galactose with nojirimycin-δ-lactam and pyrrolidine analogues are synthesized using intramolecular cyclization as a key step from 2-nitro galactal and found to be glycosidase inhibitors.

Pathogenic JAM2 mutations disrupt the JAM2–JAM3 heterodimer structure and tight junction integrity, leading to blood–brain barrier breakdown. Consequently, Jam2‐deficient mice develop prominent midbrain calcification and significant motor impairments, identifying the JAM2–JAM3 interaction as a vital target for primary brain calcification therapeutics ...

The Attempted Synthesis of Indolizidine and Pyrrolizidine Natural Products [PDF]
Aza-sugars are naturally occurring polyhydroxylated alkaloids in which the ring oxygen is replaced by nitrogen. They are reported to have a wide range of biological properties, most importantly as glycosidase inhibitors; these glycosidases play a key ...

This study reveals that changes in the electrical charge, that is zeta potential of large extracellular vesicles (uEVs) found in urine, can reflect disease progression from diabetes to kidney scarring (fibrosis). With further clinical development, measurement of uEVs charge could provide a simple, noninvasive way to monitor disease progression and help

We developed new iminosugar-based glycosidase inhibitors against SARS-CoV-2. Known drugs (miglustat, migalastat, miglitol, and swainsonine) were chosen as lead compounds to develop three classes of glycosidase inhibitors (α-glucosidase, α-galactosidase ...
