A small set of nojirimycin- and pyrrolidine-based iminosugar derivatives has been synthesized and evaluated as potential inhibitors of porcine and insect trehalases. Compounds 12, 13 and 20 proved to be active against both insect and porcine trehalases with selectivity towards the insect glycosidase, while compounds 10, 14 and 16 behaved as inhibitors only of insect trehalase. Despite the fact that
The asymmetric synthesis of 1-C-alkyl-L-arabinoiminofuranoses 1 was achieved by asymmetric allylic alkylation (AAA), ring closing metathesis (RCM), and Negishi cross coupling as key reactions. Some of the prepared compounds showed potent inhibitory activities towards intestinal maltase, with IC50 values comparable to those of commercial drugs such as acarbose, voglibose, and miglitol, which are used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Among them, the inhibitory activity (IC50 = 0.032 mu M) towards intestinal sucrase of 1c was quite strong compared to the above commercial drugs. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
