Stereoselective Inhibition of α-l-Fucosidases by N-Benzyl Aminocyclopentitols
摘要:
[GRAPHICS](1R,2R,3R,4R,5R)-4-Amino-5-methylcyclopentane-1,2,3-triol 8, its 4S stereoisomer 9, and their acyclic analogues (R)- and (S)-5-aminobutanol 11 and 12 are selective but moderate inhibitors of alpha-L-fucosidases. N-Benzylation selectively enhances inhibition potency for aminocyclopentitol 8 ( --> 1, K-i = 6.8 x 10(-7) M) but decreases inhibition for its 4S-stereoisomer 9 (--> 2, K-i = 1.1 x 10(-4) M) and for the aminobutanols 11 ( --> 13, no inhibition) and 12 ( --> 14, no inhibition).
Aminocyclopentitol analogs of alpha -L-fucose were synthesized stereoselectively from D-ribose. Alkyl substituents were attached at the NH2 group to mimic the glycosidic leaving group. The resulting (alkylamino)cyclopentitols inhibited alpha -L-fucosidases selectively with inhibition constants in the range of K-i = 10(-7) m. Comparisons with stereoisomers and acyclic analogs showed that this inhibition only occurs with N-alkyl substitution and proper configuration at the cyclopentane, as expected for transition-state-analog-type inhibition. These observations were supported by molecular-modeling comparisons between inhibitor and transition state.
