Abstract
A range of simple, natural chemicals almost unknown 20 years ago are now being used to advance research in cancer, AIDS, diabetes, immunology and plant-insect recognition. These alkaloids of the pyrrolidine, piperidine, pyrrolizidine and indolizidine classes resemble sugar molecules in the arrangement of hydroxyl substituents and are often potent and specific glycosidase inhibitors.
