Swainsonine (also known as Tridolgosir) is a naturally occurring indolizidine alkaloid and a potent, reversible inhibitor of α-mannosidase. By interfering with glycoprotein processing, Swainsonine disrupts key cellular signaling pathways, leading to apoptosis and G₂/M phase cell cycle arrest. It exhibits significant antitumor activity and has been widely studied for its potential role in cancer therapeutics and glycosylation-related biological processes.
