Merck, 08012-10MG, 1-Deoxynojirimycin

General description
1-Deoxynojirimycin is a polyhydroxypiperidine alkaloid and glucose analog, that has an -NH group substituting the O atom in the pyranose ring. It shows a significant α-glucosidase inhibitory effect in addition to antioxidant, antimicrobial, antidiabetic, antitumor, and anti-inflammatory behavior. It is commonly found in the roots of mulberry trees.

Application
DNJ may be used as a reference standard for the determination of DNJ in: Mulberry leaves by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) equipped with evaporative light scattering detector (ELSD) as well as direct analysis in real-time (DART) ionization source coupled with triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS).
