- Phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate mimics based on a sulfoquinovose scaffold: Synthesis and evaluation as protein kinase B inhibitors
-
New sulfoquinovose analogues of phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate have been synthesised based on a sulfoquinovose scaffold as potential protein kinase B (PKB) inhibitors. The synthetic strategy involved the introduction into glucose of a thioacetate group at the 6-position and of an azide group at the anomeric position as precursors of the sulfonate and phosphoramidate moieties present in the final compounds. The synthesised compounds were tested in vitro on isolated PKB by means of ELISA assays and for their anti-proliferative activity against the human ovarian carcinoma cell line IGROV-1. Sulfoquinovose derivatives 2b and 2c showed inhibitory activity in the low micromolar range.

- Development and characterization of lysine based tripeptide analogues as inhibitors of Sir2 activity
-
Sirtuins are NAD+ dependent deacetylases that modulate various essential cellular functions. Development of peptide based inhibitors of Sir2s would prove useful both as pharmaceutical agents and as effectors by which downstream cellular alterations can be monitored. Click chemistry that utilizes Huisgen's 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition permits attachment of novel modifications onto the side chain of lysine. Herein, we report the synthesis of peptide analogues prepared using click reactions on Nε-propargyloxycarbonyl protected lysine residues and their characterization as inhibitors of Plasmodium falciparum Sir2 activity. The peptide based inhibitors exhibited parabolic competitive inhibition with respect to acetylated-peptide substrate and parabolic non-competitive inhibition with NAD+ supporting the formation of EI2 and E·NAD+·I2 complexes. Cross-competition inhibition analysis with the non-competitive inhibitor nicotinamide (NAM) ruled out the possibility of the NAM-binding site being the second inhibitor binding site, suggesting the presence of a unique alternate pocket accommodating the inhibitor. One of these compounds was also found to be a potent inhibitor of the intraerythrocytic growth of P. falciparum with 50% inhibitory concentration in the micromolar range.

- Analogues of moranoline and MDL 73945. Methyl 6(5)-deoxy-6(5)-(morpholin-4-yl)α-D-glycosides as glucosidase inhibitors
-
Methyl 2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-6-O-(p-tolylsulfonyl)-α-D-glucopyranoside (6), or its iodo analogue 7, were subjected to nucleophilic displacement with morpholine to give 8, deacetylation of which gave methyl 6-deoxy-6-(morpholin-4-yl)-α-D-glucopyranoside (3). Similarly, 11, 12 and 21 were prepared. The 6-deoxy-6-iodo derivative 16 was subjected to nucleophilic displacement with morpholine and subsequent acetylation to give 15. Deacetylation of 15 gave 17. The kinetic studies for the inhibition of β-D-glucosidase from sweet almond and using o-nitrophenyl β-D-glucopyranoside as substrate exhibited a Ki value for 21 on the same order as 1-deoxynojirimycin whereas for 3, a Ki value of lesser order was observed.

- Use of Ferric Chloride in Carbohydrate Reactions: Part V - Acetolysis of Methyl Hexopyranosides Using Ferric Chloride in Acetic Anhydride

Treatment of methyl α-D-gluco- and galacto-pyranosides with acetic anhydride-ferric chloride reagent results in the acetolysis of the glycosides.Anomeric mixtures of the sugar peracetates in their pyranose and furanose forms and acyclic peracetates are obtained.The rate of acetolysis is retarded by the introduction of a tosyl function at position-6.
