Diosgenyl 2-amino-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranoside is a synthetic saponin exhibiting attractive pharmacological properties. Different pathways tested by us to obtain this glycoside are summarized here. Moreover, the synthesis of N-alkyl and N,N-dialkyl derivatives of the glucopyranoside is presented. Evaluation of antibacterial and antifungal activities of these derivatives indicates that they have no inhibitory activity against Gram-negative bacteria, whereas many of the tested N-alkyl saponins were found to inhibit the growth of Gram-positive bacteria and human pathogenic fungi.
Diosgenyl 2-amino-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranoside是一种具有吸引人的药理特性的合成皂苷。我们测试了不同的途径来获得这种糖苷,这里总结了这些途径。此外,还介绍了合成葡萄糖吡喃糖苷的N-烷基和N,N-二烷基衍生物。对这些衍生物的抗菌和抗真菌活性评估表明,它们对革兰氏阴性菌没有抑制活性,而许多经过测试的N-烷基皂苷被发现抑制了革兰氏阳性菌和人类病原真菌的生长。
