Castanospermine inhibits all forms of α- and β-glucosidases, especially glucosidase l (required for glucoprotein processing by transfer of mannose and glucose from asparagine-linked lipids). target:α- and β-glucosidases. IC 50: 1.2 uM in vitro :Castanospermine, [(1 S,6S,7R,8R,8aR)-1 ,6,7,8-tetrahydroxyoctahydroindolizine] is a potent and specific inhibitor of mammalian and plant α-and β-D-glucosidases in vitro in vivo: Experiments in vivo with castanospermine, an inhibitor of the glucosidases that convert protein N-linked high mannose carbohydrates to complex oligosaccharides, resulted in significant inhibition of tumor growth in nude mice.[3]

Animal A (mg/kg) = Animal B (mg/kg) multiplied by | Animal B Km |
Animal A Km |
For example, to modify the dose of Compound A used for a mouse (20 mg/kg) to a dose based on the BSA for a rat, multiply 20 mg/kg by the Km factor for a mouse and then divide by the Km factor for a rat. This calculation results in a rat equivalent dose for Compound A of 10 mg/kg.
