摘要: The gluco-, manno-, and galacto-configured imidazopyridine-5-carboxylates 5–7, respectively, were synthesized evaluated as inhibitors of bovine liver β-glucuronidase. gluconolactam 15 was transformed into the gluco- manno-imidazoles 5 6 in nine steps an overall yield 9 12%, respectively. Oxidation esterification selectively protected manno-configured hydroxymethyl-imidazopyridines 23 25, respectively (both obtained from 15), provided benzhydryl esters 24 26, Hydrogenolysis afforded gluco-imidazopyridine-carboxylic acid manno-isomer 6. Similarly, hydroxymethyl-imidazopyridine 33, galactonolactam 27, subjected to oxidation, esterification, deprotection afford imidazopyridine-carboxylate 7 ten 27 13%. gluco-configured imidazole is strongest known inhibitor β-glucuronidases (Ki = 12 nM), while manno- imidazoles are micromolar small difference between inhibitory strength imidazopyridine-carboxylic tetrazolopyridine-carboxylic 1, configurational selectivity 5–7 compared unselectivity corresponding lactams 3 4 discussed.
