Structural analogues of (+)-1 have been also synthesized, and their inhibitory activity toward 22 commercially available glycosidases has been evaluated.Ring-closing metathesischiral cyclic nitronesallyl amine synthesisglycosidase inhibitorsasymmetric synthesesenantioselectiveadditionstereoselective-synthesisindolizidine alkaloidsnaturallentiginosinetartaric acidNew concise total synthesis of (+)-lentiginosine and some structural analoguestext::journal::journal article::research article
