2-Deoxy-2-fluorosalacinol and a 1,2-ene derivative of the naturally occurring glycosidase inhibitor salacinol were synthesized for structure activity studies with human maltase glucoamylase (MGA). 2-Deoxy-2-fluorosalacinol was synthesized through the coupling reaction of 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-3,5-di-O-p-methoxybenzyl-1,4-anhydro-4-thio-D-arabinitol with 2,4-O-benzylidene-L-crythritol-1,3-cyclic sulfate in hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) containing 0.3 equiv of K2CO3. Excess of K2CO3 resulted in the elimination of HF from the coupled product, and the formation of an alkene derivative of salacinol. Nucleophilic attack of the 1,4-anhydro-4-thio-D-arabinitol moiety on the cyclic sulfate did not proceed in the absence of K2CO3. No reaction was observed in acetonitrile containing K2CO3. The target compounds were obtained by deprotection with TFA. The 2-deoxy-1-ene derivative of salacinol and 2-deoxy-2-fluorosalacinol inhibited recombinant human maltase glucoamylase, one of the key intestinal enzymes involved in the breakdown of glucose, with an IC50 value of 150 mu M and a K-i value of 6 +/- 1 mu M, respectively.
