Inhibition of naringinase (L-rhamnosidase) by piperidine analogues of L-rhamnose: Scaffolds for libraries incorporating trihydroxypipecolic acids

L-Deoxyrhamnojirimycin 1 does not inhibit naringinase significantly but 5-epi-L-deoxyrhamnojirimycin 2 is a potent inhibitor. Conversely, α-C-glycosides of 1 are good inhibitors of L-rhamnosidase whereas those of 2 are not. Intermediate azabicyclic lactones are likely to be of use for the incorporation of a number of trihydrocypipecolic acids into peptide libraries.
