Abstract

In this report, we describe a simple synthesis of gluconoamidinylsulfones as a new class of potential inhibitors toward glycan processing enzymes. Gluconoamidinylsulfones have a glucose-based sulfonyl amidine skeleton, thus would form a distorted half-chair conformation with positive charge, which is analogous to transition state in the enzymatic process. A chemoselective coupling reaction between thioamide and sulfonyl azide enabled one-step synthesis of the iminosugar derivatives from commercially available D-gluconothiolactam in a protection-free manner. The phenyl-substituted gluconoamidinylsulfone displayed high inhibitory ability toward a- and b-glucosidases with Ki values of 13.9 and 8.2 mM, respectively, resulting that gluconoamidinylsulfones would be expected to entry in a new class of promising potential inhibitors toward various glycan-processing enzymes.
