application | meglut is a drug developed by Oxford GlycoSciences company and listed by Actelion company, mainly used to treat type I Gaucher disease (GD1). N alkylated derivatives of 1-deoxynojirimycin have received more and more attention in the field of medicine. Gaucher's disease (Gauchers disease) is a hereditary glycolipid excess disease. Due to the lack of specific β-glucosidase, the glucosylceramide in the body cannot be degraded smoothly. The main clinical symptoms include bone pain and anemia. Megrut has a strong inhibitory effect on glucosylceramide synthase. It was approved to be marketed in Europe in 2003 for the treatment of Gaucher's disease. |
Preparation | According to the mechanism of Mannich reaction (Mannich Reaction), N-propyl deoxynojirimycin was synthesized from 1-deoxynojirimycin as the starting material. The synthesis reaction formula of Megrut is as follows: |
Biological activity | Miglustat (N-Butyldeoxynojirimycin) is a glucose ceramide synthetase inhibitor that can act on type I Gaucher's disease. |
