Structure–activity relationships in a series of C2-substituted gluco-configured tetrahydroimidazopyridines as β-glucosidase inhibitors
摘要:
Inhibition of glycoside hydrolases has widespread application in treatment of diabetes, viral infections, lysosomal storage diseases and cancers. Gluco-configured tetrahydroimidazopyridines are the most potent beta-glucosidase inhibitors reported to date. Using transition state mimic strategy, a series of C2-substituted gluco-configured tetrahydroimidazopyridines were designed and synthesized. Compounds 3 (K-i = 0.64 nM) and 5 (K-i = 0.58 nM) showed stronger inhibitory potency against beta-glucosidase. Maestro 9.1 was used to study the structure-activity relationships by docking the compounds into the beta-glucosidase active sites. Crown Copyright (C) 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
