revealed to be potent inhibitors of GBA. A molecular docking study showed that the positions of the piperidine ring of the compound 6b and its analogous 2-O-heptyl DIX 8 were similar to that of isofagomine. Furthermore, compound 6b promoted mutant GBA enhancements over 3-fold equivalent to that of the related O-Hept DIX 8 belonging to one of the most potent iminosugar-based pharmacological chaperone series
The stereoselective preparation of novel C-alkyl 5-membered ring imino sugars and their biological evaluation with regard to GCS inhibition and cytotoxicity in a murine melanoma model are reported.
that, after optimization of the ring-enlargement reaction conditions, could be efficiently transformed into the corresponding 3-hydroxypiperidines. This approach was applied to the asymmetric synthesis of (+)-isofagomine relying on regio- and stereoselective oxirane opening with the cyanide anion of a pivotal epoxypyrrolidine. iminosugar - piperidine - ringenlargement - epoxide opening
