The mechanism of action of iminosugars as antiretrovirals

Abstract:

Iminosugars are a class of molecules that resemble sugars but for the substitution of a nitrogen for the oxygen in the hemiacetal ring. Several iminosugars are inhibitors of cellular glycosidase enzymes in the N-linked glycan processing pathway. Iminosugars inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum (ER) α-glucosidases are known to be antiviral against a broad range of enveloped viruses including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis C virus, dengue virus and influenza virus.
