Miglustat HCl (N-Butyldeoxynojirimycin) is an orally active ceramide-specific glycosyltransferase and α-glucosidase I and II inhibitor (1). This compound rescues trafficking-deficient F508del-CFTR in human airway epithelial cells via inhibition of ER α-glucosidases I and II (2), is a pharmacological chaperone for glucocerebrosidase degradation (3), is a clinically relevant agent for Gaucher disease type 1 (4) and it stabilizes neurological disorders in Niemann-Pick disease type C (5).
