Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) for cancer is on the rise worldwide due to recent developments of in-hospital neutron accelerators which are expected to revolutionize patient treatments. There is an urgent need for improved boron delivery agents, and herein we have focused on studying the biochemical foundations upon which a successful GLUT1-targeting strategy to BNCT could be based. By combining synthesis and molecular modeling with affinity and cytotoxicity studies, we unravel the mechanisms behind the considerable potential of appropriately designed glucoconjugates as boron delivery agents for BNCT. In addition to addressing the biochemical premises of the approach in detail, we report on a hit glucoconjugate which displays good cytocompatibility, aqueous solubility, high transporter affinity, and, crucially, an exceptional boron delivery capacity in the in vitro assessment thereby pointing toward the significant potential embedded in this approach.

A highly stereoselective total synthesis of Amaryllidaceae alkaloid starting from α-D-galactopyranoside has been described. The salient features of this total synthesis are Ferrier carbocyclization reaction for the synthesis of ring A and Suzuki Miyaura c

Two novel iminosugars called nojiristegines, being structural hybrids between nor-tropane alkaloid calystegine and nojirimycins, have been synthesised and found to be stable molecules despite the presence of a hemiaminal functionality. The synthesised iminosugars were evaluated against a panel of glycosidases and the best inhibition (IC50), found against α-glucosidases, was in the micromolar region. The compounds were also evaluated as potential antibiotics but no useful level of activity was observed.
