Abstract
Iminosugars' similarity to carbohydrates determines the exceptional potential for this class of polyhydroxylated alkaloids to serve as potential drug candidates for a wide variety of diseases such as diabetes, lysosomal storage diseases, cancer, bacterial and viral infections. The presence of lipophilic substituents has a significant impact on their biological activities. This work reports the synthesis of three new pyrrolidine lipophilic derivatives O-alkylated in C-6 position. The biological activities of our iminosugars' collection were tested in two cancer cell lines and, due to the pharmaceutical potential, in the model yeast system Saccharomyces cerevisiae to assess their toxicity.

Sharpless Asymmetric Dihydroxylation: An Impressive Gadget for the Synthesis of Natural Products: A Review. Molecules 2023; 28:2722. [PMID: 36985698 PMCID: PMC10051988 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28062722] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2023] [Revised: 02/21/2023] [Accepted: 03/07/2023] [Indexed: 03/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation is an important reaction in the enantioselective synthesis of chiral vicinal diols that involves the treatment of alkene with osmium tetroxide along with optically active quinine ligand. Sharpless introduced this methodology after considering the importance of enantioselectivity in the total synthesis of medicinally important compounds. Vicinal diols, produced as a result of this reaction, act as intermediates in the synthesis of different naturally occurring compounds. Hence, Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation plays an important role in synthetic organic chemistry due to its undeniable contribution to the synthesis of biologically active organic compounds. This review emphasizes the significance of Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation in the total synthesis of various natural products, published since 2020.

Total stereocontrolled synthesis of a novel pyrrolizidine iminosugar. Carbohydr Res 2021; 511:108484.

Abstract
Herein we describe a versatile approach to the pyrrolizidine alkaloids skeleton by tailoring our original strategy already used for the pyrrolidine iminosugars synthesis. The key steps are the regio- and stereoselective azidolysis of the suitable chiral vinyl epoxide and then asymmetric dihydroxylation of the corresponding azido alcohol by using (DHQ)2AQN as the ligand. Further optimized elaborations addressed to the closure of the two rings allowed us to achieve the target iminosugar with complete stereocontrol. The wide range of pyrrolizidine iminosugars' biological properties make them a key focus of new drug research and therefore the development of synthetic strategies for obtaining them is of decisive importance.

Abstract
Synthesis of four iminosugars fused to a cyclopropane ring is described using l-serine as the chiral pool. The key steps are large-scale preparation of an α,β-unsaturated piperidinone followed by completely stereoselective sulfur ylide cyclopropanation. Stereochemistry of compounds has been studied by nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (NOESY) experiments and 1H homonuclear decoupling to measure constant couplings. The activity of these compounds against different glycosidases has been evaluated. Although inhibition activity was low (compound 8a presents a (K i) of 1.18 mM against β-galactosidase from Escherichia coli), interestingly, we found that compounds 8a and 8b increase the activity of neuraminidase from Vibrio cholerae up to 100%.
