Abstract
Alkylated guanidino derivatives of 1,5-dideoxy-1,5-imino-d-xylitol bearing an orthoester moiety were prepared using a concise synthetic protocol. Inhibition assays with a panel of glycosidases revealed that one of the compounds prepared displays potent inhibition against human β-glucocerebrosidase (GBA) at pH 7.0 with IC50 values in the low nanomolar range. Notably, a
