- Extra Details:
- Castanospermine is a potent inhibitor of A Alpha- and B Beta-glucosidases, enzymes involved in glycoprotein processing. While primarily studied for its antiviral and anticancer properties, Castanospermine has gained attention in neuroscience for its potential to modulate glycosphingolipid metabolism and reduce neuroinflammation. By interfering with glycoprotein maturation, it may influence protein aggregation and lysosomal function-key factors in neurodegenerative diseases such as Gaucher and Parkinson's. Its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and alter glycan processing makes it a valuable tool in neurodegenerative disease models.
