The synthesis from D-lyxonolactone of 2-acetamido-1,4-imino-1,2,4-trideOXY-L-arabinitoI LABNAc proceeded in an overall yield of 25%; the enantiomer, 2-acetamido-1,4-imino-1,2,4-trideoxy-D-arabinitol DABNAc, was prepared from L-lyxonolactone. LABNAc and N-benzyl LABNAc are potent non-competitive inhibitors Of D-hexosaminidase, whereas N-benzyl DABNAc exhibits weak competitive inhibition of the enzyme; this provides further evidence in support of Asano's hypothesis that while Dimino sugar mimics inhibit D-glycohydrolases competitively, their L-enantiomers show non-competitive inhibition and in the case of iminofuranoses L-enantiomers are usually more potent inhibitors.
