Properties and production of valienamine and its related analogues
Article Abstract:
The authors review the publications on valienamine and its related pseudo-sugars. The topics of interest include the absolute configurations of these compounds, the methods developed for the production of the compounds, and the application of valienamine and its related pseudo-sugars as inhibitors of processing enzyme glucosidase I in cancer treatment and as inhibitors of the HIV replication-etiologic agent for AIDS and AIDS-related complexes.
