Conformationally-Locked N-Glycosides with Selective β-Glucosidase Inhibitory Activity: Identification of a New Non-Iminosugar-Type Pharmacological Chaperone for Gaucher Disease
摘要:
A series of conformationally locked N-glycosides having a cis-1,2-fused pyranose-1,3-oxazoline-2-thione structure and bearing different substituents at the exocyclic sulfur has been prepared. The polyhydroxylated bicyclic system was built in only three steps by treatment of the corresponding readily available 1,2-anhydrosugar with KSCN using TiO(TFA)(2) as catalyst, followed by S-alkylation and acetyl deprotection. In vitro screening against several glycosidase enzymes showed highly specific inhibition of mammalian beta-glucosidase with a marked dependence of the potency upon the nature of the exocyclic substituent. The most potent representative, bearing an S-(omega-hydroxyhexadecyl) substituent, was further assayed as inhibitor of the human lysosomal beta-glucocerebrosidase and as pharmacological chaperone in Gaucher disease fibroblasts. Activity enhancements in N370S/N370S mutants analogous to those achieved with the reference compound ambroxol were attained with a more favorable chaperone/inhibitor balance.
