The natural product, cyclophellitol and its aziridine analogue are potent mechanism-based retaining β-glucosidase inhibitors. In this paper we explore the inhibitory potency of a number of cyclophellitol analogues against the three human retaining β-glucosidases, GBA, GBA2 and GBA3. We demonstrate that N-alkyl cyclophellitol aziridine is at least equally potent in inhibiting the enzymes evaluated as its N-acyl congener, whereas the N-sulfonyl analogue is a considerably weaker inhibitor. Our results complement the literature on the inhibitory potency of cyclophellitol analogues and hold promise for the future design of more effective activity-based retaining glycosidase probes with respect to probe stability in physiological media.

Cyclitol epoxides and aziridines are potent and selective irreversible inhibitors of retaining glycosidases. We have previously reported on our studies on the use of activity-based probes derived from cyclophellitol and from its aziridine analogue for activity-based profiling of retaining β-glucosidases in vitro, in situ, and in some examples also in vivo. In this work we disclose full details of the synthesis, purification, and analysis of a comprehensive panel of cyclophellitol analogues, all featuring the β-glucose configuration and designed as tools for selective inhibition and/or imaging of human acid glucosylceramidase (epoxides) or as broad-spectrum probes for retaining β-glucosidases (aziridines).

A new synthesis of (+)-cyclophellitol, a potent β-glucosidase inhibitor, has been completed in nine steps from D-xylose. The key transformations involve a zinc-mediated fragmentation of benzyl-protected methyl 5-deoxy-5-iodo-xylofuranoside followed by a h

D-Xylose serves as a starting material for approaches to the synthesis of the glucosidase inhibitors, (+)-cyclophellitol (1) and (+)-epi-cyclophellitol (2). An investigation of the cyclization of diastereomeric oxiranyl radicals to achieve this goal was m
