Almond alpha-mannosidase was purified by separation on columns of DEAE-Sephadex A50 and hydroxyapatite, and characterized. Its optimum pH was approximately 3.8. It was also shown to be stable from pH 6 to 8. Its activity was stable up to 60 degrees C. The thermostability of almond alpha-mannosidase at 73 degrees C appeared to be superior to that of jack bean a-mannosidase. We examined the substrate specificity of the former toward high-mannose-type N-glycan Man9GlcNAc2, and showed that the deduced trimming pathway was more diverse than that of the latter. We could use almond alpha-mannosidase as well as jack bean alpha-mannosidase for analysis of sugar chain structures.

Three tetrahydropyridoimidazole-type glycosidase inhibitors have been synthesized with the 3-deoxy ribo- and arabino-, and 3-deoxy-3-fluoro gluco-configurations and two of them screened for activity against α- and β-gluco- and mannosidase enzymes. Only one substance, the 3-deoxy-3-fluoro-derivative of the gluco-configured tetrahydropyridoimidazole was found to have any activity against a single enzyme, sweet almond β-glucosidase, and even then at a level 100-fold lower than that of the corresponding simple gluco-configured tetrahydropyridoimidazole thereby underlining the importance of the 3-hydroxy group in the key substrate-enzyme interactions.

Several 2-(aminomethyl)-and 2-(2-aminoethyl)-pyrrolidine-3,4-diol derivatives have been assayed for their inhibitory activities towards glycosidases. Good inhibitors of alpha-mannosidases must have the (2R,3R,4S) configuration and possess 2-(benzylamino)methyl substituents. Stereomers with the (2S,3R,4S) configuration are also competitive inhibitors of alpha-mannosidases, but less potent as they share the configuration of C(1), C(2), C(3) of beta-D-mannosides rather than that of alpha-D-mannosides.

A diketopiperazine (1) has been isolated from the culture broth of Penicillium sp. F70614 and its structure has been determined to be cyclo(dehydroala-L-Leu) by various spectroscopic analyses. This compound selectively inhibited yeast alpha-glucosidase and porcine intestinal alpha-glucosidase with IC50 values of 35 and 50 microg/ml, respectively.
