A second indolizidine alkaloid, epimeric with castanospermine, has been isolated from seeds of the Australian treeCastanospermum australe. The structure was established as 6-epicastanospermine by proton and carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. 6-Epicastanospermine was found to be a potent inhibitor of amyloglucosidase, (an exo-1,4,-α-glucosidase), a weak inhibitor of β-galactosidase, and not to inhibit β-glucosidase and α-mannosidase. These results indicate that glycosidase inhibitory activity cannot be predicted by comparison of the structure and stereochemistry with the appropriate sugars, since 6-epicastanospermine is an analog of mannose and not of glucose. The inhibition of amyloglucosidase was found to be competitive and to be more effective at higher pH values. Castanospermine and 6-epicastanospermine differed in their effect upon the mung bean processing enzymes, glucosidase I and II, in that the former is a potent inhibitor whereas the latter is a very poor inhibitor. Subtle alterations in stereochemistry of these alkaloids can therefore produce significant changes in their biological activity.
