Synthesis of new β-1-C-alkylated imino-l-iditols: A comparative study of their activity as β-glucocerebrosidase inhibitors
摘要:
A short synthesis of new beta-1-C-alkyl-1,5-dideoxy-1,5-imino-L-iditols by means of the diastereoselective addition of Grignard reagents onto a glucopyranosylamine is described. These compounds were evaluated as beta-glucocerebrosidase inhibitors and their activity was compared with that of related iminosugar derivatives in the D-gluco and D-xylo series. The results allowed us to conclude on the influence of the hydroxymethyl moiety and of the piperidine-ring conformation on the inhibitory activity. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
