Four chain-extended analogues of the naturally occurring glycosidase inhibitor salacinol were synthesized for structure–activity studies with different glycosidase enzymes. The syntheses involved the reaction of isopropylidene-protected 1,4-thio- and 1,4-seleno-D-talitols and 1,5-thio- and 1,5-seleno-L-gulitols, derived from D-mannose, with a benzylidene- and isopropylidene-protected 1,3-cyclic sulfate, also derived from D-mannose. Deprotection of the products afforded the novel selenonium and sulfonium sulfates composed of heterocyclic five- and six-membered ring core structures with pendant polyhydroxylated, acyclic chains of six carbon atoms.Key words: glycosidase inhibitors, zwitterionic selenonium and sulfonium sulfates, cyclic sulfate

The syntheses of two 1,4-anhydro-D-xylitol heteroanalogues (8 and 9) of the naturally occurring sulfonium ion, salacinol (3), containing a sulfur or nitrogen atom in the ring are described. Salacinol (3) is one of the active principles in the aqueous extracts of Salacia reticulata that are traditionally used in Sri Lanka and India for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes. The synthetic strategy relies on the nucleophilic attack of sulfur or nitrogen analogues of 1,4-anhydro-D-xylitol at the least-hindered carbon of 2,4-O-benzylidene-L-erythritol-1,3-cyclic sulfate. The sulfonium ion 8 inhibited barley-α-amylase (AMY1) and porcine pancreatic-α-amylase (PPA), with Ki values of 109 ± 11 and 55 ± 5 µM, respectively. In contrast, the ammonium ion 9 showed no significant inhibition of either AMY1 or PPA. Compounds 8 and 9 also showed no significant inhibition of glucoamylase.Key Words: glycosidase inhibitors, salacinol analogues, anhydro-D-xylitol heteroanalogues, enzyme inhibition.

Four series of analogues of the naturally occurring glucosidase inhibitor salacinol were synthesized for structure–activity studies with different glycosidase enzymes. The target zwitterionic compounds were synthesized by means of nucleophilic attack at the least-hindered carbon atom of the 1,3-cyclic sulfates derived from D-glucose and D-mannose by the isopropylidene-protected 1,4-anhydro-4-thio- and seleno-D-allitols and the 4-thio- and seleno-L-allitols. Deprotection of the coupled products afforded the novel sulfonium and selenonium ions containing polyhy droxylated acyclic chains of four and six carbons, with different stereochemistry at the stereogenic centers and with 1,4-anhydro-4-seleno or 4-thio-D- or L- alditol heterocyclic rings. The compounds showed no significant activity against recombinant human maltase glucoamylase (MGA), a critical intestinal glucosidase involved in the processing of oligosaccharides of glucose into glucose itself.Key words: glycosidase inhibitors, zwitterionic, selenonium salts, sulfonium salts, cyclic sulfates, L-ascorbic acid, D-gulonic-γ-lactone.

The successful syntheses of 5-azido-2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-5-deoxy-D-glucononitrile and 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-5-deoxy-5-trifluoroacetamido-D-glucononitrile starting from D-glucose are described. Unsuccessful attempts were made to convert these two compounds into a protected 5-amino-5-deoxy-D-glucononitrile and to subsequently cyclize them to an amidine analogue of glucose as a possible glycosidase inhibitor. Keywords: synthesis, amino-sugars, glycosidase inhibitors.
