Description
Summary:•Two beta-benzyl aminooxy glycosides have been synthesised.•These aminooxy glycosides are competitive glycosidase inhibitors.•Their O-benzyl glycoside analogues are shown to be substrates with the same enzymes.•This demonstrates the glycosidase stability of the aminooxy glycoside bond. The stability of the amino(methoxy) beta-glycosidic bond to glycosidase catalysed hydrolysis is reported. Beta-O-benzyl glucose and beta-O-benzyl galactose are substrates hydrolysed by beta-glucosidase and beta-galactosidase from almonds and Escherichia coli, respectively. However their beta-N-benzyl-(O-methoxy)-glucoside and beta-N-benzyl-(O-methoxy)-galactoside derivatives are competitive inhibitors.
