Tm. Krulle et al., STEREOSPECIFIC SYNTHESIS OF SPIROHYDANTOINS OF BETA-GLUCOPYRANOSE - INHIBITORS OF GLYCOGEN-PHOSPHORYLASE, Synlett, (2), 1997, pp. 211-213
A stereospecific synthesis of the spirohydantoin of glucopyranose 1 be
ta [a potent and specific inhibitor of glycogen phosphorylase (GP)] an
d of a number of spirohydantoin analogues thereof relies on the rigidi
ty of a bicyclic lactone 2. The effects of these analogues on GP are r
eported.
