Synthesis of sp2-Iminosugar Selenoglycolipids as Multitarget Drug Candidates with Antiproliferative, Leishmanicidal and Anti-Inflammatory Properties
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2021)
sp2-Iminosugar glycolipids (sp2-IGLs) represent a consolidated family of glycoconjugate mimetics encompassing a monosaccharide-like glycone moiety with a pseudoamide-type nitrogen replacing the endocyclic oxygen atom of ...
Article
Glycomimetic-based pharmacological chaperones for lysosomal storage disorders: lessons from Gaucher, GM1-gangliosidosis and Fabry diseases
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016)
Lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) are often caused by mutations that destabilize native folding and impair the trafficking of enzymes, leading to premature endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated degradation, deficiencies ...
Article
Fluoro-labelled sp2-iminoglycolipids with immunomodulatory properties
(Elsevier, 2023)
The unique electronic properties of the fluorine atom make its strategic incorporation into a bioactive compound a very useful tool in the design of drugs with optimized pharmacological properties. In the field of the ...

Anti-Inflammatory (M2) Response Is Induced by a sp2-Iminosugar Glycolipid Sulfoxide in Diabetic Retinopathy
(Frontiers, 2021)
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the most common complications of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and is directly associated with inflammatory processes. Currently, neuro-inflammation is considered an early event in DR and ...
Article
Unravelling the Inflammatory Processes in the Early Stages of Diabetic Nephropathy and the Potential Effect of (Ss)-DS-ONJ
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2022)
Inflammatory processes play a central role in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy (DN) in the early stages of the disease. The authors demonstrate that the glycolipid mimetic (Ss)-DS-ONJ is able to abolish inflammation ...
Article
New Castanospermine Glycoside Analogues Inhibit Breast Cancer Cell Proliferation and Induce Apoptosis without Affecting Normal Cells
(Public Library of Science, 2013)
sp2-Iminosugar-type castanospermine analogues have been shown to exhibit anti-tumor activity. However, their effects on cell proliferation and apoptosis and the molecular mechanism at play are not fully understood. Here, ...
Article
sp2-Iminosugar Glycolipids as Inhibitors of Lipopolysaccharide-mediated Human Dendritic Cell Activation in Vitro and of Acute Inflammation in Mice in Vivo
(Elsevier, 2019)
Glycolipid mimetics consisting of a bicyclic polyhydroxypiperidine-cyclic carbamate core and a pseudoanomeric hydrophobic tail, termed sp2-iminosugar glycolipids (sp2-IGLs), target microglia during neuroinflammatory ...
Article
Thiol-ene "Click" Synthesis and Pharmacological Evaluation of C-Glycoside sp2-Iminosugar Glycolipids
(MDPI, 2019)
The unique stereoelectronic properties of sp2-iminosugars enable their participation in glycosylation reactions, thereby behaving as true carbohydrate chemical mimics. Among sp2-iminosugar conjugates, the sp2-iminosugar ...
