Abstract

The invention provides compounds of Formula (I) for inhibiting gh cosidases, prodrugs of the compounds, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds or prodrugs of the compounds. The invention also provides method of treating diseases and disorders related to deficiency or over-expression of O-gh coprotein 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosidase (O-GlcNAcase), accumulation or deficiency of 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranoside (O-GlcNAc).
