Application

Conduritol B epoxide has been used as an inhibitor of GBA1 to discriminate between acid β-glucosidase (GBA1) and non-lysosomal β-glucosidase (GBA2) activity in β-glucosidase activity assay. It has also been used as a selective glucocerebrosidase (GCase) inhibitor.

Biochem/physiol Actions

β-Glucosidase inhibitor
Conduritol B epoxide (CBE) is capable of inactivating sucrase-isomaltase irreversibly. It can be used to produce cell and animal models to study on Gaucher disease (GD) and Parkinson′s disease (PD).

General description

Conduritol B epoxide (CBE) is a mix of 1-L-1,2-anhydro-myo-inositol and 1-D-1,2-anhydro-myo-inositol.
