Pseudoamide-Type Pyrrolidine and Pyrrolizidine Glycomimetics and Their Inhibitory Activities against Glycosidases
摘要:
Coupling reaction of (2R,3R,4R,5R)-2,5-hydroxymethyl-3,4-dihydroxypyrrolidine (DMDP) with isothiocyanates afforded the corresponding thiourea adducts, which were transformed into isourea-type bicyclic oxapyrrolizidine glycomimetics by mercury(II) oxide-assisted intramolecular sulfur displacement. Cyclic carbamate and thiocarbamate analogues were also prepared by direct carbonylation or thiocarbonylation of DMDP. Evaluation of the glycosidase inhibitory properties demonstrated that remarkable specificities in enzyme inhibition can be achieved upon modifications on the pseudoaglyconic side chain and on the nature of the sp(2)-hybridized endocyclic ring nitrogen.
Synthesis of dihydroxylated prolines and iminocyclitols from five-membered endocyclic enecarbamates. Total synthesis of the potent glycosidase inhibitor (2R,3R,4R,5R)-2,5-dihydroxymethyl-3,4-dihydroxypyrrolidine (DMDP)
摘要:
cis- and trans-3,4-Dihydroxylated prolines and the iminocyclitol 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino ribitol were synthesized employing a strategy involving the Heck arylation of five-membered endocyclic enecarbarnates with aryldiazonium salts followed by oxidative cleavage of the electron-rich aromatic ring. The total synthesis of the potent alpha- and beta-glucosidase inhibitor (2R,3R,4R,5R)-2,5-hydroxymethyl-3,4-dihydroxypyrrolidine (DMDP) was also achieved by the same strategy in ten steps from a chiral five-membered enecarbamate in 12% overall yield.
