Library of α- and β-Glucosidase Inhibitors Azasugars diversified at C-1’ position to access a hydrophobic binding pocket. Rapid, in situ screening of azasugar-coupled acids facilitates identification of glycosidase inhibitors. Bicyclic, aromatic substituents increased potency of inhibition. Aglycon libraries each inhibited different glucosidases.
Conclusions • Azasugars core can be synthesized from chiral and achiral starting materials. • Evolution of azasugar libraries utilize synthetic methods. • Inhibitor assays identified lipophilic C-1’ modifications increase inhibition potentcy against α- and β-glucosidases.
Evaluation of Current Approaches • X-ray crystallography of enzymes with bound 5-membered azasugar inhibitors • Rigorous studies to identify specific inhibition modes per glycosidase. • Shorter synthetic routes to polyhydroxylated azasugars for more rapid inhibitor identification.
