Synthesis of all stereoisomers of 3-hydroxypipecolic acid and 3-hydroxy-4,5-dehydropipecolic acid and their evaluation as glycosidase inhibitors

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2008 Mar 15;18(6):1810-3. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2008.02.028. Epub 2008 Feb 14.

Abstract

A highly practicable synthesis of both enantiomers of 3-hydroxypipecolic acid derivatives 1, 2, 3, 4 is described. Screening of these molecules for glycosidase inhibition has been examined. Compound 3 was shown to be a potent inhibitor of beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase as well as Escherichia coli beta-glucuronidase.
