Jlj. Bianco et al., N-THIOCARBONYL AZASUGARS - A NEW FAMILY OF CARBOHYDRATE MIMICS WITH CONTROLLED ANOMERIC CONFIGURATION, Chemical communications, (20), 1997, pp. 1969-1970
Bicyclic azasugar glycomimetics structurally related to the polyhydrox
y-indolizine and -piperidine series incorporating a stereoelectronical
ly controlled pseudoanomeric axial hydroxy group have been prepared by
tautomeric rearrangement of cyclic thiocarbamate precursors; prelimin
ary enzyme inhibition tests show an increased selectivity towards yeas
t alpha-glucosidase for the alpha-D-glucopyranose analogue as compared
with castanospermine or nojirimicin.
