Broad spectrum glycosidase inhibitors are produced from monosaccharide lactams by conversion to amidines, amidrazones, or amidoximes. The inhibitors have the general formula: <IMAGE> wherein the N and C are joined as part of a monosaccharide azaanalog ring and wherein -NRQ, together with the nitrogen and carbon atoms, form a chemical group selected from amidines, amidrazones, and amidoximes. |
