A series of cyclitol derivatives with myo-configuration are β-glucocerebrosidase (GCase) inhibitors and show excellent characteristics for the development of pharmacological chaperones for enzyme deficiency in Gaucher disease (GD). The most potent inhibitor, (1S,2R,3R,4S,5R,6S)-5,6-bis(nonylamino)cyclohexane-1,2,3,4-tetraol, displayed a K i value of 26 nM in isolated enzyme and also inhibited GCase in wild-type (wt) human fibroblasts at nanomolar concentrations. This diaminocyclitol produced max ...[more]
