Ten pairs of pyrrolidine analogues of pochonicine and its stereoisomers have been synthesized from four enantiomeric pairs of polyhydroxylated cyclic nitrones. Among the ten N-acetylamino pyrrolidine analogues, only compounds with 2,5-dideoxy-2,5-imino-d-mannitol (DMDP) and pochonicine (1) configurations showed potent inhibition of β-N-acetylhexosaminidases (β-HexNAcases); while 1-amino analogues lost almost all their inhibitions towards the tested enzymes. The assay results reveal the importance of the -acetylamino group and the possible right configurations of pyrrolidine ring required for this type of inhibitors.
已从四个对映体多羟基环状亚硝酮合成了 10 对吡咯烷类似物及其对映异构体。在十个 N-乙酰氨基吡咯烷类似物中,只有具有 2,5-二脱氧-2,5-亚氨基-D-甘露醇(DMDP)和 pochonicine(1)构型的化合物对β-N-乙酰氨基己糖苷酶(β-HexNAcases)表现出强烈的抑制作用;而 1-氨基类似物对测试的酶几乎失去了所有的抑制作用。该测定结果揭示了 -乙酰氨基基团的重要性,以及该类抑制剂所需的吡咯烷环的可能正确构型。
