The enantiomers of XYLNAc (2-N-acetylamino-1,2,4-trideoxy-1,4-iminoxylitol) are prepared from the enantiomers of glucuronolactone; the synthesis of the enantiomers of LYXNAc (2-N-acetylamino-1,2,4-trideoxy-1,4-iminolyxitol) from an L-arabinono-δ-lactone and a D-ribono-δ-lactone is reported. A comparison is made of the inhibition of β-N-acetylhexosaminidases (HexNAcases) and α-N-acetylgalactosaminidase (α-GalNAcase) by 8 stereoisomeric 2-N-acetylamino-1,2,4-trideoxy-1,4-iminopentitols; their N-benzyl derivatives are better inhibitors than the parent compounds. Both XYLNAc and LABNAc are potent inhibitors against HexNAcases. None of the compounds show any inhibition of α-GalNAcase.
XYLNAc(2-N-乙酰氨基-1,2,4-三脱氧-1,4-亚氨基木糖醇)的对映体由葡糖醛酸内酯的对映体制备;据报道,LYXNAc(2-N-乙酰氨基-1,2,4-三脱氧-1,4-亚氨基来苏糖醇)的对映体由L-阿拉伯糖-δ-内酯和D-核糖-δ-内酯合成。对8种立体异构的2-N-乙酰氨基-1,2,4-三脱氧-1,4-亚氨基戊糖醇对β-N-乙酰己糖胺酶(己糖胺酶)和α-N-乙酰半乳糖胺酶(α-GalNAcase)的抑制作用进行了比较;它们的N-苄基衍生物比母体化合物是更好的抑制剂。XYLNAc和LABNAc都是己糖胺酶的有效抑制剂。这些化合物均未显示出对α-GalNAcase的任何抑制作用。
