This report is about the identification, synthesis and initial biological characterization of derivatives of 4-epi-isofagomine as pharmacological chaperones (PC) for human lysosomal β-galactosidase. The two epimers of 4-epi-isofagomine carrying a pentyl group at C-5a, namely (5aR)- and (5aS)-5a-C-pentyl-4-epi-isofagomine, were prepared by an innovative procedure involving in the key step the addition of nitrohexane to a keto-pentopyranoside. Both epimers were evaluated as inhibitors of the human β-galactosidase: the (5aR)-stereoisomer (compound 1) was found to be a very potent inhibitor of the enzyme (IC50?=?8?nM, 30× more potent than 4-epi-isofagomine at pH 7.3) with a high selectivity for this glycosidase whereas the (5aS) epimer was a much weaker inhibitor. In addition, compound 1 showed a remarkable activity as a PC. It significantly enhanced the residual activity of mutant β-galactosidase in 15 patient cell lines out of 23, with enhancement factors greater than 3.5 in 10 cell lines and activity restoration up to 91% of normal. Altogether, these results indicated that (5aR)-5a-C-pentyl-4-epi-isofagomine constitutes a promising PC-based drug candidate for the treatment of GM1-gangliosidosis and Morquio disease type B.

, p. 4317 - 4325 (2007/10/02)
Full details of the total synthesis of pseudomonic acid C from L-lyxose are described.Key features of the approach involve feee-radical allylation for stereoselective C-C bond formation at C4 of lyxose, Frater alkylation to generate correct stereochemistry at C12 and C13, and stereoselective intramolecular Michael addition to establish the correct stereochemistry of the "anomeric" appendage.

, p. 1462 - 1464 (2007/10/02)
A convergent total synthesis of pseudomonic acid C from L-lyxose is described in which a highly stereoselective free-radical C-C bond construction plays a key role.
