The present invention relates to derivatives of dihydroxypyrrolidine useful in the treatment of cancer. The invention further relates to a process for making the compounds. The compounds are inhibitors of α mannosidase, and possibly, also inhibit nicotinamide phosphoribosyl transferase.
Novel 2-[(benzylamino)methyl]pyrrolidine-3,4-diol derivatives as α-mannosidase inhibitors and with antitumor activities against hematological and solid malignancies
Novel alpha-mannosidase inhibitors of the type (2R,3R,4S)-2-([(1R)-2- hydroxy-1-arylethyl]amine}methyl) pyrrolidine-3,4-diol have been prepared and assayed for their anticancer activities. Compound 30 with the aryl group = 4-trifluoromethylbiphenyl inhibits the proliferation of primary cells and cell lines of different origins, irrespective of Bcl-2 expression levels, inducing a G2/Mcell cycle arrest and by modification of genes involved in cell cycle progression and survival.
