Polyhydroxylated alkaloids -- natural occurrence and therapeutic applications.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Over one hundred polyhydroxylated alkaloids have been isolated from plants and micro-organisms. These alkaloids can be potent and highly selective glycosidase inhibitors and are arousing great interest as tools to study cellular recognition and as potential therapeutic agents. However, only three of the natural products so far have been widely studied for therapeutic potential due largely to the limited commercial availability of the other compounds.

Synthesis of some polyhydroxylated pyrrolidine derivatives.
Polyhydroxylated pyrrolidine, piperidine, and indolizidine alkaloids are of great interest because of their specific glycosidase inhibitory activity." Moreover, it has recently been found in our laboratories that swainsonine (1), a representative of the polyhydroxylated indolizidine alkaloids, has an immunostimulating activity, possibly as a result of its glycosidase inhibitory activity.21 This...
متن کاملConvergent, stereoselective syntheses of the glycosidase inhibitors broussonetines D and M.
The first syntheses of the polyhydroxylated alkaloids (iminosugars) broussonetines D and M, glycosidase inhibitors of the pyrrolidine class, have been performed in a convergent, stereocontrolled way from D-serine as the chiral starting material. A cross metathesis step was one key feature of the synthesis. The versatility of the synthetic concept chosen permits the access to many members of thi...
متن کاملAustraline and related alkaloids: easy structural confirmation by C NMR spectral data and biological activities
The first polyhydroxylated pyrrolizidine alkaloid with a hydroxymethyl group at C-3 was isolated from pods of Alexa leiopetala (Leguminosae) and designated alexine 1. The Australian legume Castanospermum australe is also known to produce the same structural type of pyrrolizidines. There are reports of the isolation of australine (7a-epi-alexine) 2, 1-epi-australine 3, 3-epi-australine 4, and 7-...
متن کاملA flexible approach for the asymmetric syntheses of hyacinthacines A2, A3 and structural confirmation of hyacinthacine A3.
A concise and flexible approach for the asymmetric syntheses of polyhydroxylated pyrrolizidine alkaloids hyacinthacines A(2) and A(3) has been developed using iterative reductive alkylation of O,O'-dibenzyltartarimide (5) as key steps. The ambiguity about the structure of synthetic hyacinthacine A(3) due to the differences in the NMR data of the synthetic material (2) and the natural product (h...
متن کاملSynthesis and biological activity of naturally occurring α-glucosidase inhibitors.
In addition to their clinical importance in the treatment of type II diabetes, a-glucosidase inhibitors have attracted considerable attention from the synthetic community because of their profound effect on an array of cellular processes, including N-linked glycoprotein processing and maturation, oligosaccharide metabolism, and cell–cell and cell–virus recognition. Over the past decade, a numbe...
