The Jocic-Reeve and Corey-Link type reaction of dichloromethyllithium with suitably protected 5-keto-hexofuranoses followed by treatment with sodium azide and sodium borohydride reduction gave 5-azido-5-hydroxylmethyl substituted hexofuranoses 7a-c with required geminal dihydroxymethyl group. Removal of protecting groups and converting the C-1 anomeric carbon into free hemiacetal followed by intramolecular reductive aminocyclization with in situ generated C5-amino functionality afforded corresponding 5C-dihydroxymethyl piperidine iminosugars 2a-c. Alternatively, removal of protecting groups in 7b and 7c and chopping of C1-anomeric carbon gave C2-aldehyde that on intramolecular reductive aminocyclization with C5-amino gave 4C-dihydroxymethyl pyrrolidine iminosugars 1b and 1c, respectively. On the basis of the (1)H NMR studies, the conformations of 2a/2b were assigned as (4)C(1) and that of 2c as (1)C(4). The glycosidase inhibitory activities of all five iminosugars were studied with various glycosidase enzymes and compared with natural d-gluco-1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ). All the five compounds were found to be potent inhibitors of rice α-glucosidase with K(i) and IC(50) values in the nanomolar concentration range. Iminosugars 2b and 1b were found to be more potent inhibitors than their parent iminosugar. These results were substantiated by in silico molecular docking studies.

Article Synopsis
- The study discusses the effective and selective synthesis of iminosugars, specifically 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino-D-arabinitol (DAB) and lentiginosine, focusing on their seven stereoisomers.
- The starting material for these syntheses is 4-benzoyl-6-deoxy-6-iodoglycopyranosides, yielding between 38% to 68% for DAB and between 44% to 89% for lentiginosine.
- A key highlight of the process is a complex multistep reaction involving zinc-mediated reductive elimination, reductive amination, and intramolecular nucleophilic substitution, which allows for the
Structure-guided design of C3-branched swainsonine as potent and selective human Golgi α-mannosidase (GMII) inhibitor.

The human Golgi α-mannosidase, hGMII, removes two mannose residues from GlcNAc-ManGlcNAc to produce GlcNAcManGlcNAc, the precursor of all complex -glycans including tumour-associated ones. The natural product GMII inhibitor, swainsonine, blocks processing of cancer-associated -glycans, but also inhibits the four other human α-mannosidases, rendering it unsuitable for clinical use. Our previous structure-guided screening of iminosugar pyrrolidine and piperidine fragments identified two micromolar hGMII inhibitors occupying the enzyme active pockets in adjacent, partially overlapping sites.

Broussonetine S (9), its C-1' and C-10' stereoisomers, and their corresponding enantiomers have been synthesized from enantiomeric arabinose-derived cyclic nitrones, with cross metathesis (CM), epoxidation and Keck asymmetric allylation as key steps. Glycosidase inhibition assays showed that broussonetine S (9) and its C-10' epimer (10'-epi-9) were nanomolar inhibitors of bovine liver β-galactosidase and β-glucosidase; while their C-1' stereoisomers were 10-fold less potent towards these enzymes. The glycosidase inhibition results and molecular docking calculations revealed the importance of the configurations of pyrrolidine core and C-1' hydroxyl for inhibition potency and spectra.

The use of pharmacological chaperones (PCs) to stabilize specific enzymes and impart a therapeutic benefit is an emerging strategy in drug discovery. However, designing molecules that can bind optimally to their targets at physiological pH remains a major challenge. Our previous study found that dibasic polyhydroxylated pyrrolidine exhibited superior pH-selective inhibitory activity and chaperoning activity for human α-galactosidase A (α-Gal A) compared with its monobasic parent molecule, .

A concise asymmetric synthesis of clickable enantiomeric pyrrolidines was achieved using Crabbé-Ma allenation. The synthesized iminosugars were grafted by copper-free strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition onto phosphorus dendrimers. The hexavalent and dodecavalent pyrrolidines were evaluated as β-glucocerebrosidase inhibitors.
