N-Octyl-beta-valienemine (1), a potent beta-glucocerebrosidase inhibitor, was chemically transformed into two biologically interesting compounds: the 4-epimer, beta-galacto-type N-octyl-valienamine, and the 4-O-(beta-D-galactopyranosyl) derivative, a carba-lactosylceramide analogue. The former, interestingly, could be demonstrated to act as a very effective inhibitor (IC(50)=0.3 microM) of human beta-galactosidase. The latter exhibited moderate inhibitory activity (IC(50)=20 microM) against beta-glucocerebrosidase (mouse liver).
