1-Deoxymannojirimycin

A summary of the most common chemical descriptors (InChI Key and SMILES codes) for 1-Deoxymannojirimycin are summarized together with 3D and 2D structures and relevant physico-chemical properties.

What is the 1-Deoxymannojirimycin?

The molecule 1-Deoxymannojirimycin presents a molecular formula of C18H24NO4+ and its IUPAC name is (2R,3R,4R,5R)-2-(hydroxymethyl)piperidine-3,4,5-triol.

1-Deoxymannojirimycin (DMJ) is a molecule that was first isolated from the bark of the African tree, Manilkara jirimycin. It is a white powder that is insoluble in water and has a molecular weight of 360.45. DMJ has been shown to inhibit the enzyme alpha-glucosidase, which is responsible for the breakdown of carbohydrates in the body. When DMJ inhibits this enzyme, the carbohydrates are not broken down and are instead absorbed into the bloodstream. This can lead to an increase in blood sugar levels, which can be dangerous for people with diabetes. DMJ has also been shown to have anti-cancer and anti-viral properties..

Other names (synonyms)

IUPAC nomenclature provides a standardized method for naming chemical compounds. Although this system is widely used in chemistry, many chemical compounds have also other names commonly used in different contexts. These synonyms can come from a variety of sources and are used for a variety of purposes.

One common source of synonyms for chemical compounds is the common or trivial names, assigned on the basis of appearance, properties, or origin of the molecule.

Another source of synonyms are historical or obsolete names employed in the past, however replaced nowadays by more modern or standardized names.

In addition to common and historical names, chemical compounds may also have synonyms that are specific to a particular field or industry.

LogP and topological polar surface area (TPSA) values were estimated using Open Babel software.

The n-octanol/water partition coeficient (Kow) data is applied in toxicology and drug research. Kow values are used, to guess the environmental fate of persistent organic pollutants. High partition coefficients values, tend to accumulate in the fatty tissue of organisms. Molecules with a log(Kow) (or LogP) greater than 5 are considered to bioaccumulate.

TPSA values are the sum of the surface area over all polar atoms or molecules, mainly oxygen and nitrogen, also including hydrogen atoms.

In medicinal chemistry, TPSA is used to assess the ability of a drug to permeabilise cells.

For molecules to penetrate the blood-brain barrier (and act on receptors in the central nervous system), TPSA values below 90 Å2 are required. Thus, molecules with a polar surface area greater than 140 Å2 tend to be poorly permeable to cell membranes.
