| 3-amino-2,3-dideoxyinositol | An amino cyclitol that is scyllo-inosamine in which the 2-hydroxy group is substituted by hydrogen. | 2-deoxy-scyllo-inosamine |
| acarbose | | (2R,3R,4R,5S,6R)-5-[[(2R,3R,4R,5S,6R)-5-[[(2R,3R,4S,5S,6R)-3,4-dihydroxy-6-methyl-5-[[(1S,4R,5S,6S)-4,5,6-trihydroxy-3-(hydroxymethyl)-1-cyclohex-2-enyl]amino]-2-oxanyl]oxy]-3,4-dihydroxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)-2-oxanyl]oxy]-6-(hydroxymethyl)oxane-2,3,4-triol |
| acarviosine | | Acarviosin |
| mannostatin a | 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. | mannostatin A |
| validamine | An amino cyclitol consisting of 1D-chiro-inositol lacking the 6-hydroxy group and having those at positions 1 and 5 replaced by amino and hydroxymethyl groups respectively. | validamine |
| validoxylamine a | An amino cyclitol that is (1R,2S,3S,4S,6R)-4-amino-6-(hydroxymethyl)cyclohexane-1,2,3-triol in which one of the hydrogens attached to the nitrogen is replaced by a (1R,4R,5R,6S)-4,5,6-trihydroxy-3-(hydroxymethyl)cyclohex-2-en-1-yl group. | validoxylamine A |
