Highly efficient aldol additions of DHA and DHAP to N-Cbz-amino aldehydes catalyzed by l-rhamnulose-1-phosphate and l-fuculose-1-phosphate aldolases in aqueous borate buffer
Aldol addition reactions of dihydroxyacetone (DHA) to N-Cbz-amino aldehydes catalyzed by L-rhamnulose-1-phosphate aldolase (RhuA) in the presence of borate buffer are reported. High yields of aldol adduct (e.g. 70–90%) were achieved with excellent (>98 : 2 syn/anti) stereoselectivity for most S or R configured acceptors, which compares favorably to the reactions performed with DHAP. The stereochemical outcome was different and depended on the N-Cbz-amino aldehyde enantiomer: the S acceptors gave the syn (3R,4S) aldol adduct whereas the R ones gave the anti (3R,4R) diastereomer. Moreover, the tactical use of Cbz protecting group allows simple and efficient elimination of borate and excess of DHA by reverse phase column chromatography or even by simple extraction. This, in addition to the use of unphosphorylated donor nucleophile, makes a useful and expedient methodology for the synthesis of structurally diverse iminocyclitols. The performance of aldol additions of dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) to N-Cbz-amino aldehydes using RhuA and L-fuculose-1-phosphate aldolase (FucA) catalyst in borate buffer was also evaluated. For FucA catalysts, including FucA F131A, the initial velocity of the aldol addition reactions using DHAP were between 2 and 10 times faster and the yields between 1.5 and 4 times higher than those in triethanolamine buffer. In this case, the retroaldol velocities measured for some aldol adducts were lower than those without borate buffer indicating some trapping effect that could explain the improvement of yields.
α-1-<i>C</i>-Butyl-1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino-<scp>l</scp>-arabinitol as a Second-Generation Iminosugar-Based Oral α-Glucosidase Inhibitor for Improving Postprandial Hyperglycemia
We report on the synthesis and the biological evaluation of a series of alpha-1-C-alkylated 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino-L-arabinitol (LAB) derivatives. The asymmetric synthesis of the derivatives was achieved by asymmetric allylic alkylation, ring-closing metathesis, and Negishi cross-coupling as key reactions. alpha-1-C-Butyl-LAB is a potent inhibitor of intestinal maltase, isomaltase, and sucrase, with IC50 values of 0.13, 4.7, and 0.032 mu M, respectively. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometric analysis revealed that this compound differs from miglitol in that it does not influence oligosaccharide processing and the maturation of glycoproteins. A molecular docking study of maltase-glucoamylase suggested that the interaction modes and the orientations of alpha-1-C-butyl-LAB and miglitol are clearly different. Furthermore, a-l-C-butyl-LAB strongly suppressed postprandial hyperglycemia at an early phase, similar to miglitol in vivo. It is noteworthy that the effective dose was about 10-fold lower than that for miglitol. alpha-1-C-Butyl-LAB therefore represents a new class of promising compounds that can improve postprandial hyperglycemia.
The synthesis and biological evaluation of 1-C-alkyl-l-arabinoiminofuranoses, a novel class of α-glucosidase inhibitors
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.
