N-Substituted derivatives of 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino-d-mannitol (DIM), the pyrrolidine core of swainsonine, have been synthesized efficiently and stereoselectively from d-mannose with 2,3:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene DIM (10) as a key intermediate. These N-substituted derivatives include N-alkylated, N-alkenylated, N-hydroxyalkylated and N-aralkylated DIMs with the carbon number of the alkyl chain ranging from one to nine. The obtained 33 N-substituted DIM derivatives were assayed against various glycosidases, which allowed a systematic evaluation of their glycosidase inhibition profiles. Though N-substitution of DIM decreased their α-mannosidase inhibitory activities, some of the derivatives showed significant inhibition of other glycosidases.

A substantial number of sulfobetaines (e.g., 10) have been synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of squalene synthase (SS) on the basis of the idea that their zwitterionic structure would have properties conducive both to binding in the active site and to passage through cell membranes. When the simple sulfobetaine moiety is incorporated into compounds containing hydrophobic portions like those in farnesyl diphosphate (1) or presqualene diphosphate (2), inhibition of SS in a rat liver microsomal assay was indeed observed. For example, farnesylated sulfobetaine 10 has IC50 = 10 μM and aromatic derivative 35 has IC50 = 2 μM for SS inhibition. A wide variety of structural modifications, exemplified by compounds 43, 52, 76, 85, 91, 99, 111, and 115, was investigated. Unfortunately, no inhibitors in the submicromolar range were discovered, and exploration of a different type of zwitterion seems necessary if this appealing approach to inhibition of SS is going to provide a potential antihypercholesterolemic agent.

An asymmetric total synthesis of the 2-(R)-alkylpyrrolidines, (-)-irniine (1a) and (-)-bgugaine (1b), toxic and antibiotic components of the tubers of Arisarum vulgare, and (+)-(S)-irniine (1c), was carried out by condensation of the corresponding 4-oxoalkanoic acid (9) with chiral phenylglycinol. Acids (9) were prepared from a hetero-organocuprate (I) complex, generated by reaction of methylcopper (I) with alkylmagnesium bromides and methyl chlorocarbonylpropionate. Alkaloids (1a, 1b and 1c) displayed anti Gram(+) bacterial (MIC 12.5 - 50 μg/ml) and antifungal (MIC 6.25 - 50 μg/ml) activities.
