C‐Glycosidic UDP‐GlcNAc Analogues as Inhibitors of UDP‐GlcNAc 2‐Epimerase

Abstract: The first step in the biosynthesis of neuraminic acid, the “epimerisation” of UDP‐GlcNAc to ManNAc, is catalyzed by UDP‐GlcNAc 2‐epimerase. In this paper we report the synthesis of the C‐glycosidic UDP‐GlcNAc analogues 1−5 as substrate‐based inhibitors of this enzyme. The focus is on the optimal distance and geometry of the connection between the sugar and the UDP‐moiety, which are both important for recognition by UDP‐GlcNAc 2‐epimerase.

“…The 2-Ophosphoryl group present in compounds 14 and 16 may be regarded as mimic of the diphosphate bridge in the nucleotide sugar and-although lacking the charged moiety of the glycosyl phosphate-could provide a proper formal distance to fit into the binding site of the glycosyl transferase, an important aspect to maintain binding potency of synthetic inhibitors. 19 In addition to the analogues of D D-glycero-D D-manno-heptose, C-glycosides of the L L-glycero-D D-manno-configuration were prepared in a similar fashion. Thus, condensation of 17 20 with pentane-2,4-dione proceeded in good yield to afford a complex mixture containing the anomeric 2-oxo-propyl heptopyranosides 18 and 20.…”

“…In the light of our new results, it is not surprising that synthetic derivatives of UDP (41,42) have been found to effectively inhibit the enzyme. According to our studies, another apparent requirement for a potent inhibitor is the presence of two or three negative charges.…”

“…156 Through a similar protocol, azido glucose 648 (derived from N-acetylglucosamine) was transformed via the imidate to azido Compounds such as 647 or 651 are applied as building elements in the synthesis of different carbopeptoid oligomers. 156,157 Azido amino sugars in the form of orthogonally protected sugar diamino acids were synthetized from acetylated sugar β-amino nitrile derivative 652. Deacetalization of 652, with subsequent exchange of the more reactive hydroxy group at C-6 to azide, resulted in azido nitrile 654, the methoxymethyl etherification of which, followed by nitrile hydrolysis, yielded azido amino acid 656 (Scheme 132).…”
