Biological evaluation of 3′-O-alkylated analogs of salacinol, the role of hydrophobic alkyl group at 3′ position in the side chain on the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity
摘要:
Four analogs with 3'-O-alkyl groups (9a: CH(3), 9b: C(2)H(5), 9c: C(13)H(27) or 9d: CH(2)Ph) instead of the 3'-O-sulfate anion in salacinol (1), a naturally occurring potent alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, were synthesized by the coupling reaction of 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-epithio-D-arabinitols (18a and 18b) with appropriate epoxides (10a-10d). These analogs showed equal or considerably higher inhibitory activity against rat small intestinal alpha-glucosidases than the original sulfate (1), and one of them (9d) was found more potent than currently used alpha-glucosidase inhibitors as antidiabetics. Thus, introduction of a hydrophobic moiety at the C3' position of this new class of inhibitor was found beneficial for onset of stronger inhibition against these enzymes. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
