Perbutanoyl kifunensine | CAS 2762179-08-6

FC-142

Synonyms:  (5R,6R,7S,8R)-5-((butyryloxy)methyl)-2,3-dioxooctahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-6,7,8-triyl tributyrate 

These ester derivatives (along with the perpropanoyl analogue) of kifunensine are the most potent mannosidase I inhibitors in cellular assays described to date. The butyrate ester demonstrated a 75-fold higher potency compared to kifunensine due to their increased lipophilicity. This improved activity allows nM instead of µM concentrations to be used.^1,2
