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

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).
