Valienamine is an unsaturated amino sugar with the formula HOCH2(CHOH)3CHNH2)CH. It is classified also as a C-7 aminocyclitol. It is a potent inhibitor of glycosidase. It was first isolated by microbial degradation of validoxylamine. [1]
It found as a substructure of pseudooligosaccharides such as the antidiabetic drug acarbose [2] and the antibiotic validamycin. It can be found in Actinoplanes species. [3]
It is an intermediate formed by microbial degradation of validamycins. [4]
