Abstract
The syntheses of congeners of 1-deoxy-3-O-(α-D-glucopyranosyl)-mannojirimycin (1), a strong inhibitor of the glycoprotein-processing endo-mannosidase, are described. The chemical modifications of 1 involved all monodeoxy-genations and mono-O-methylations of the glucose unit and the replacement of this unit by D-galactose, D-xylose, and 2-chloro-2-deoxy-D-glucose. As reported previously, none of the modifications of 1, including deoxygenations and O- and N-methylations of the deoxymannojirimycin unit, improved the inhibitory properties, but demonstrated the high specificity in the recognition of 1 by the enzyme and allowed the assignment of intermolecular hydrogen bonds of the inhibitor • enzyme complex. Essential for complex formation were found NH-5, OH-2, OH-4, and OH-6 of the DMJ unit, as well as OH-3′, OH-4′, and CH2-6′ of the glucose unit. The residual activities on deoxygenating the OH-2′ and OH-6′ groups of 1 suggest their involvement at the periphery of the binding site.
