4-Nitrophenyl β-D-cellobioside is a disaccharide and an enzyme substrate. It has been used to characterize the function of endoglucanase 1 from T. harzianum, β-glucosidase from T. xylanolyticum, and glycoside hydrolase family 3 (GH3) aryl β-glucosidases from A. oryzae.
Glycosidase-IN-1 is a glycosidase inhibitor synthesized from D-mannose with hypoglycemic activity. It can be used to synthesize some immunosuppressive agents and β-glucosidase inhibitors.
Prunetin 5-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, an isoflavone obtained from Potentilla astracanica extracts, is a potent uncompetitive inhibitor of α-glucosidase (IC 50 = 56.05 μg mL). It serves as a valuable tool for type-2 diabetes research.
Afegostat D-Tartrate is a pharmacological chaperone that specifically and reversibly binds acid-β-glucosidase (GCase) in the endoplasmic reticulum with high affinity.
