Definition
ChEBI: Mannostatin A is an amino cyclitol that is cyclopentane substituted by hydroxy groups at positions 1, 2 and 3, by an amino group at positon 4, and by a methylsulfanediyl group at position 5 (the 1R,2R,3R,4S,5R-stereoisomer). It is isolated from the soil bacterium Streptoverticillium verticillium. It has a role as an EC 3.2.1.24 (alpha-mannosidase) inhibitor, a bacterial metabolite and an EC 3.2.1.114 (mannosyl-oligosaccharide 1,3-1,6-alpha-mannosidase) inhibitor. It is a methyl sulfide, a triol and an amino cyclitol.
