Sugar-mimicking alkaloids inhibit the glycosidases involved in a wide range of important biological processes, principally owing to their structural resemblance to the sugar moiety of the natural substrate. The possibility of modifying and blocking these processes by using such inhibitors for therapeutic applications has attracted a lot of attention.
