d-gluconhydroximo-1,5-lactam

D-gluconhydroximo-1,5-lactam is a small molecule belonging to the class of organic compounds known as tetrahydropyridines. It has the chemical formula C6H12N2O5 and a molecular weight of 192.17 g/mol[1][5][6]. The compound has been studied primarily in experimental settings and is not approved for clinical use. Research indicates that D-gluconhydroximo-1,5-lactam and its derivatives have been evaluated for their ability to inhibit certain enzymes and act as pharmacological chaperones[7]. One identified biological target is lactase/phlorizin hydrolase (LCT), an intestinal brush border enzyme responsible for hydrolyzing lactose into glucose and galactose[1]. However, the precise mechanism of action in humans remains unclear.
