Synthesis of L-rhamnose derived chiral bicyclic triazoles as novel sodium-glucose transporter (SGLT) inhibitors.

Herein we describe the synthesis of a series of novel fused bicyclic 1,2,3-triazoles from commercially available, natural deoxy sugar, L-rhamnose. The key reactions involved are (i) Zn(OTf)2 catalyzed enantioselective alkynylation of L-rhamnose derived azidoaldehyde and (ii) deprotection of the acid sensitive 1,2-isopropylidene group followed by in situ intramolecular click-cycloaddition of azidoalkynols. Some compounds exhibit excellent sodium-glucose transporter (SGLT1 and SGLT2) inhibition activity.

Synthesis of novel l-rhamnose derived acyclic C-nucleosides with substituted 1,2,3-triazole core as potent sodium-glucose co-transporter (SGLT) inhibitors.

Sodium-glucose co-transporter (SGLT) inhibitors are a novel class of therapeutic agents for the treatment of type 2 diabetes by preventing renal glucose reabsorption. In our efforts to identify novel inhibitors of SGLT, we synthesized a series of l-rhamnose derived acyclic C-nucleosides with 1,2,3-triazole core. The key ß-ketoester building block 4 prepared from l-rhamnose in five steps, was reacted with various aryl azides to produce the respective 1,2,3-triazole derivatives in excellent yields. Deprotection of acetonide group gave the desired acyclic C-nucleosides 7a-o. All the new compounds were screened for their sodium-glucose co-transporters (SGLT1 and SGLT2) inhibition activity using recently developed cell-based nonradioactive fluorescence glucose uptake assay. Among them, 7m with IC50: 125.9nM emerged as the most potent SGLT2 inhibitor. On the other hand compound 7d exhibited best selectivity for inhibition of SGLT2 (IC50: 149.1nM) over SGLT1 (IC50: 693.2nM). The results presented here demonstrated the utility of acyclic C-nucleosides as novel SGLT inhibitors for future investigations.

Facile diversity-oriented synthesis and antitubercular evaluation of novel aryl and heteroaryl tethered pyridines and dihydro-6H-quinolin-5-ones derived via variants of the Bohlmann-Rahtz Reaction.

The diversity oriented synthesis of substituted pyridines and dihydro-6H-quinolin-5-ones tethered with aryls and heteroaryls was achieved in very good yields through CeCl(3)·7H(2)O-NaI catalyst via variants of the Bohlmann-Rahtz reaction. ß-Enaminones derived from various aryl and heteroaryl methyl ketones were regioselectively reacted with ethyl acetoacetate or 5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione or 4,4-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione and ammonium acetate refluxing in 2-propanol. Applicability of nontoxic cerium catalyst, high reactivity with wide range of aryl and heteroaryl ß-enaminones leading to diverse analogues, operational simplicity, and shorter reaction time at comparatively low temperatures are prominent features of the developed protocol. These synthesized substituted pyridines and dihydro-6H-quinolin-5-one analogues have been evaluated for their in vitro antimycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv (MTB) by agar dilution method. Among the 48 compounds screened, six compounds 2-(5-chlorothiophen-2-yl)-7,7-dimethyl-7,8-dihydro-6H-quinolin-5-one 4{13,2}, 2-(5-bromothiophen-2-yl)-7,7-dimethyl-7,8-dihydro-6H-quinolin-5-one 4{14,2}, 2-(5-chloro thiophen-2-yl)-6,6-dimethyl-7,8-dihydroquinolin-5(6H)-one 4{13,3}, and 2-(5-bromothiophen-2-yl)-6,6-dimethyl-7,8-dihydroquinolin-5(6H)-one 4{14,3}, 7,7-dimethyl-2-(naphthalen-2-yl)-7,8-dihydroquinoline-5(6H)-one 4{6,2}, 6,6-dimethyl-2-(naphthalen-2-yl)-7,8-di hydroquinolin-5(6H)-one 4{6,3} resulted as the most promising antitubercular agents.
