A Practical Synthesis of Kifunensine Analogues as Inhibitors of Endoplasmic Reticulum α-Mannosidase I
2005
A practical synthesis of the potent class I α-mannosidase inhibitor kifunensine (1) beginning from the inexpensive and readily available starting material l-ascorbic acid (15) is described. The protected amino-alcohol ((2R,3R,4R,5R)-5-amino-2,3:4,6-diisopropylidenedioxyhexanol, 11) served as a key intermediate from which several N-1 substituted kifunensine analogues (including N-methyl, N-cyclohexyl, and N-bis(hydroxymethyl)methyl) and 2-desoxakifunensine analogues (including N-H and N-methyl) were prepared and screened for inhibition of human endoplasmic reticulum α-mannosidase I (ER Man I) and mouse Golgi α-mannosidase IA (Golgi Man IA). In addition, several pseudodisaccharide kifunensine analogues in which a mannose residue was tethered to N-1 of kifunensine via a two-, three-, or four-carbon linker and an affinity-bound kifunensine analogue were also prepared and evaluated for biological activity. While the synthesized N-1 kifunesine analogues were found to be less potent inhibitors of Class I α-manno...
