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).Silkworms by hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) with MS/MS operating on multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. Human plasma by hybrid quadrupole/linear ion trap tandem mass spectrometry (QTRAP MS/MS).

General description

1-Deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) is a type of polyhydroxylated piperidine alkaloid that is a glucosidase inhibitor.
