Short synthesis of new salacinol analogues and their evaluation as glycosidase inhibitors
Résumé
Versatile synthesis of some analogues of the naturally-occurring α-glucosidase inhibitor salacinol (1), involving thioanhydro alditol moieties with erythro, d,l-threo, xylo, ribo, d-arabino and d-manno configurations is described. Nucleophilic attack at the least-hindered carbon atom of an l- or d-protected erythritol cyclic sulfate by the thioanhydro alditol sulfur atom yielded the desired zwitterionic compounds. In addition, the preparation of the cyclic sulfates of 2,4-O-benzylidene-d-erythritol and 2,4-O-isopropylidene-l-erythritol was improved. Enzyme inhibition tests showed that most of the new compounds were weak but specific inhibitors, while good inhibitory activity was found for a six-membered ring analogue (β-glucosidase: Ki=16 μM)
