Rational design and synthesis of highly potent pharmacological chaperones for treatment of N370S mutant Gaucher disease

J Med Chem. 2009 May 28;52(10):3146-9. doi: 10.1021/jm801506m.

Abstract

Highly potent N-substituted delta-lactams have been rationally designed and synthesized by a concise route with a one-pot tandem reaction as key step. These iminosugars show weak inhibition of wild-type beta-glucocerebrosidase but 3- to 6-fold increases in mutant enzyme activity (N370S).
