N-Alkyl-, 1-C-Alkyl-, and 5-C-Alkyl-1,5-dideoxy-1,5-imino-(l)-ribitols as Galactosidase Inhibitors
摘要:
AbstractA series of 1,5‐dideoxy‐1,5‐imino‐(l)‐ribitol (DIR) derivatives carrying alkyl or functionalized alkyl groups were prepared and investigated as glycosidase inhibitors. These compounds were designed as simplified 4‐epi‐isofagomine (4‐epi‐IFG) mimics and were expected to behave as selective inhibitors of β‐galactosidases. All compounds were indeed found to be highly selective for β‐galactosidases versus α‐glycosidases, as they generally did not inhibit coffee bean α‐galactosidase or other α‐glycosidases. Some compounds were also found to be inhibitors of almond β‐glucosidase. The N‐alkyl DIR derivatives were only modest inhibitors of bovine β‐galactosidase, with IC50 values in the 30–700 μm range. Likewise, imino‐l‐ribitol substituted at the C1 position was found to be a weak inhibitor of this enzyme. In contrast, alkyl substitution at C5 resulted in enhanced β‐galactosidase inhibitory activity by a factor of up to 1000, with at least six carbon atoms in the alkyl substituent. Remarkably, the ‘pseudo‐anomeric’ configuration in this series does not appear to play a role. Human lysosomal β‐galactosidase from leukocyte lysate was, however, poorly inhibited by all iminoribitol derivatives tested (IC50 values in the 100 μm range), while 4‐epi‐IFG was a good inhibitor of this enzyme. Two compounds were evaluated as pharmacological chaperones for a GM1‐gangliosidosis cell line (R301Q mutation) and were found to enhance the mutant enzyme activity by factors up to 2.7‐fold.
