Synthesis of N-(β-D-glucopyranosyl)- and N-(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl) amides as inhibitors of glycogen phosphorylase
摘要:
2,3,4,6-Tetra-O-acetyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyl- and 2-acetamido-3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl azides were transformed into the corresponding per-O-acetylated N-(beta-D-glycopyranosyl) amides via a PMe3 mediated Staudinger protocol (generation of N-(beta-D-glycopyranosyl)imino-trimethylphosphoranes followed by acylation with carboxylic acids, acid chlorides or anhydrides). The deprotected compounds obtained by Zemplen deacetylation were evaluated as inhibitors of rabbit muscle glycogen phosphorylase b. The best inhibitor of this series has been N-(beta-D-glucopyranosyl) 3-(2-naphthyl)-propenoic amide (K-i = 3.5 muM). (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
The preparation and application of anomeric glycosyl phosphinimides in preparative synthesis were studied. Starting from the appropriate glycosyl azides and trialkyl or triaryl phosphines, the corresponding phosphinimides were obtained by modified Staudinger reactions. The latter compounds were readily converted into 1-N-acyl-gluco- and galactopyranosyl amines with high yields by applying activated
