A ring-contraction strategy applied to β-azido,γ-hydroxyazepanes yielded after functional group manipulation new tetrahydroxylated pyrrolidines displaying an acetamido moiety, one of these iminosugars demonstrating low micromolar inhibition on N-acetylglucosaminidases.

The well-known inhibitory strength of 3d metal Schiff base complexes against urease enzymes has long been acknowledged, but their untapped potential to act as ureolytic mimics of active metallobiosites remained unexplored. To break the new ground, we present pyrrolidine-based mononuclear Ni(II)-azide complex {[NiL(HL)(N)]·1.5(HO)} using the N,N,O donor ligand, namely ()-4-bromo-2-(((2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)ethyl)imino)methyl)phenol.

Article Synopsis
- Dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) is an important enzyme linked to folate metabolism, making it a key target for cancer and antimicrobial treatments.
- Researchers synthesized a series of 4-pyrrolidine-based thiosemicarbazones and tested their ability to inhibit DHFR, finding that these compounds showed significant inhibitory effects with IC values ranging from 12.37 to 54.10 μM, with compound 5d being the most effective.
- The study included molecular docking and ADME analysis to explore how these compounds bind to DHFR and to identify those with desirable properties for the development of new therapeutic agents.
Fine-tuned photochromic sulfonylureas for optical control of beta cell Ca fluxes.

We previously developed, synthesized and tested light-activated sulfonylureas for optical control of K channels and pancreatic beta cell activity in vitro and in vivo. Such technology relies on installation of azobenzene photoswitches onto the sulfonylurea backbone, affording light-dependent isomerization, alteration in ligand affinity for SUR1 and hence K channel conductance. Inspired by molecular dynamics simulations and to further improve photoswitching characteristics, we set out to develop a novel push-pull closed ring azobenzene unit, before installing this on the sulfonylurea glimepiride as a small molecule recipient.

The 10 glyphaeaside alkaloids isolated from the roots of were originally purported as piperidine-based 1--alkylated iminosugars, with the A-, B-, and C-type glyphaeasides bearing l-DFJ, DGJ, and DNJ ring configurations, respectively. Subsequent investigations have revealed glyphaeaside C as being a pyrrolidine-based iminosugar with a DMDP ring configuration via total synthesis of the revised structure. In this work, side chain diastereomers of the originally purported structure of glyphaeaside C () and two related α-1--alkylated DNJ derivatives were synthesized from a common precursor, which was prepared in turn via stereoselective Grignard addition to a protected d-glycosylamine, followed by a reductive amination-cyclization sequence.
