摘要:
A method is disclosed for the in vivo treatment of patients having a lysosomal storage disease with a significant central nervous system (CNS) involvement. Said method comprises administration to said patient a small but storage-inhibitory effective amount of an N-alkyl derivative of a 1,5-iminosugar in which said alkyl group contains from about 2 to about 8 carbon atoms and said 1,5-iminosugar is 1,5-dideoxy-1,5-imino-D-glucitol, or 1,5-dideoxy-1,5-imino-D-galactitol, or an O-acylated pro-drug of said 1,5-iminosugar. In an illustrative example, CNS storage of GM2 ganglioside is inhibited in Tay-Sachs mice by administration of 1,5-(butylimino)-1,5-dideoxy-D-glucitol.
