An indolizidine alkaloid (swainsonine) was isolated from the plant Swainsona canescens. Swainsonine is a specific and potent inhibitor of alpha-mannosidase (EC 3.2.1.24) and when administered to animals produces a phenocopy of the genetically based lysosomal storage disease, mannosidosis. Evidence is presented to suggest that swainsonine is a reversible active site-directed inhibitor of lysosomal alpha-mannosidase.
从灰绿苦马豆(Swainsona canescens)植物中分离出一种吲哚里西啶生物碱(苦马豆素)。苦马豆素是α-甘露糖苷酶(EC 3.2.1.24)的一种特异性强效抑制剂,给动物服用时会产生一种基于基因的溶酶体贮积病——甘露糖苷贮积症的拟表型。有证据表明苦马豆素是溶酶体α-甘露糖苷酶的一种可逆的活性位点导向抑制剂。
