N-linked oligosaccharide moieties of cell surface glycoconjugates may be involved in the metastatic potential of tumour cells. Many studies have examined the anti-metastatic properties of inhibitors of carbohydrate synthesis or processing in vitro. However, there has so far been little evidence of
The antimetastatic activity of ten compounds structurally related to nojirimycin A was examined using a pulmonary metastatic model of mouse B16 melanoma. Nojirimycin B, deoxynojirimycin, D-gluco-delta-lactam, CP3068 and CP3069 are structural analogues of nojirimycin A, and showed potent or moderate
Cancer metastasis is one of the major challenges in cancer research. Inhibitors of tumor metastasis are rapidly emerging as important new drug candidates for cancer therapy. Tumor metastasis formation occurs via a complex multistage process which involves a crucial step of tumor invasion through the
We examined the effects of ex vivo treatment of tumor cells with sodium D-glucaro-delta-lactam (sodium 5-amino-5-deoxy-D-glucosaccharic acid-delta-lactam; ND-2001). The ex vivo treatment of rat hepatoma cKDH-8/11 cells with this new synthetic product of the antibiotic nojirimycin, ND-2001 (50
