Abstract

Five substituted amidines were examined as reversible inhibitors of glycosidases. All compounds exhibit competitive inhibition. The Ki values of the amidines strongly depend on the hydroxylation pattern and on the structure of the aglycon moeity. Best inhibition (Ki = 10−6-10−7 M) were observed with structures that closely resemble to sugar structure. The pH dependence of a particular potent inhibitor was also examined on α-mannosidase and β-glucosidase. The affinity (1Ki) for α-mannosidase varies with pH indicating that it is the protonated form of the amidine which binds to the enzyme when a enzymic group of pKe = 5.2 is deprotonated.

      Among all the derivatives explored, d-mannoamidrazone (8) and mannonhydroximolactam (9) are regarded as the most potent nanomolar inhibitors of JbMan, with no selectivity study found [60,107,108]. Other derivatives are mostly micromolar or millimolar inhibitors, which are inferior compared to swainsonine [105–107,109,110]. Unlike swainsonine, there is sustained research of d-mannose derivatives undertaken in the recent few years by several groups.

      Zn2+ ion is in octahedral coordination with four amino acid residues (side chains of His90, Asp92, Asp204, His471) and an inhibitor (bidentate ligand). It is known from literature [6–20] that all potent GMII inhibitors have to bind properly to the bottom of the active site and interact with Zn2+ and neighboring amino acid residues, otherwise the potency of the inhibitor is dropped dramatically. Therefore, an accurate evaluation of interaction energy between the inhibitor and receptor sugar-binding catalytic site may be critical for a successful design of new potent and selective GMII inhibitors.

      However, only a few notable examples of the inhibitors in this compound class display inhibition of glycosidases in the nanomolar range.1 Efforts to improve the inhibitory ability of glyconoamidines of unsubstituted gluco- and benzylmannoamidines16–18 focused on the incorporation of supplementary electrostatic interaction to the glyconoamidine core by using aliphatic aglycons with and without additional N- or O-binding motifs,1 and the introduction of hydrophobic groups.19 Considerably less attention has been given to account for the lengthening of the glycosidic bond during the glycoside hydrolysis, which might play an important role for the interaction of an inhibitor with the active site in the enzyme.

      To show proof of concept, we are in need of such compound in gram amounts, and therefore directed initial focus on synthesizing (3S,4S,5S,6R,Z)-2-(benzylimino)-6-(hydroxymethyl) piperidine-3,4,5-triol, N-benzylgalactonoamidine 1, as compound encompassing characteristics of the enzymatic galactoside hydrolysis (Scheme 1).3–6 Gluco- and mannoamidines have been reported previously as potent transition state analogs and competitive inhibitors of corresponding glycosidases.7–12 Comparable entities with the galacto-configuration are not described yet.

      Thus, the highly basic and permanently protonated amidinium ion is probably bound tightly by charge–charge interaction with the catalytic carboxy group(s) in the enzyme active site. In contrast to other strong glycosidase inhibitors, such as endocyclic glyconamidines17,18 and glycoimidazoles,39,40 β-glycosylamidines have an almost complete chair-shaped conformation with a sp3 anomeric carbon. This structural feature effectively recruits the specific interaction of the enzyme toward its substrates, thereby attaining selective inhibition according to the glycon and stereospecificities of the enzyme.
