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