Abstract
Cyclization by double reductive amination of d-xylo-hexos-5-ulose with methyl 6-aminohexanoate gave (methoxycarbonyl)pentyl-1-deoxynojirimycin. Reaction of the terminal carboxylic acid with N-dansyl-1,6-diaminohexane provided the corresponding chain-extended fluorescent derivative. By reaction with bis(6-dansylaminohexyl)amine, the corresponding branched di-N-dansyl compound was obtained. Both compounds are strong inhibitors of d-glucosidases and could also be shown to distinctly improve, at sub-inhibitory concentrations, the activity of beta-glucocerebrosidase in a Gaucher fibroblast (N370S) cell-line through chaperoning of the enzyme to the lysosome.
