state analogs[40]. This substrate-assisted catalytic mechanism is followed by both hOGA and human lysosomal β-hexosaminidases, which are hydrolases of family 20 (GH20) [43], cleaving GlcNAc from terminal glycoproteins/glycosphingolipids. Nonetheless, Vocadlo’s group experiments, in 2005[39], showed that the active site of hOGA tolerates bulkier acetamido substituents than the one of lysosomal β-hexosaminidase, which encouraged them to design new structures aiming at selectivity for hOGA inhibition.
10.2.2.1 PUGNAc
In the search for OGA inhibitors, Vasella, and coworkers, in 1990, were inspired by aldonolactones, known as potent glycosidase inhibitors, and particularly by 2­acetamido-2-deoxyglucono-1,5-lactone, reported to inhibit OGA, although with a μM
. As both glucono-1,5-lactone oxime and its phenylcarbamoyl derivative were better

inhibitors of β-glucosidase than the corresponding lactone, Vasella synthesized for the first time 2-acetamido-2-deoxy--glucono-1,5-lactone O-(phenylcarbamoyl)oxime (PUGNAc) (Scheme 10.5)[45] to explore its ability to inhibit OGA. Starting from oxime 1 oxidized with MnO
, they prepared the cyclized benzylidene protected (Z)-2

in 50% yield, with starting material recovered in 35% yield. Debenzylidenation with Na/NH
and acetylation was followed by partial deacetylation with CH3NH2 remain-

ing the sugar hydroxy groups acetylated (compound 3). Reaction with phenyl isocy­anate gave carbamate 5, which was deprotected with ammonia in methanol to afford PUGNAc in 16.8% overall yield starting from oxime 1 (Scheme10.1).
Vasella and coworkers have then tested PUGNAc for the inhibition of OGA from animal, fungal, and plant origin. They found out that PUGNAc was very effective, particularly for the inhibition of the fungal enzyme, exhibiting K
= 40 nM[47]. This

potent OGA inhibitor was also the best of any glycosidase inhibitors described at that time. However, the first synthesis has severe problems with the scale-up,

particularly the oxidation step with MnO2, which encouraged Vasella group to improve the synthetic approach for PUGNAc (Scheme 10.2)[48]. Starting from 2-acetamido-1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-α--glucopyranose 6, the anomeric dea­cetylation was carried out by ammonium carbonate to give 7 in 74% yield from 100 g starting material. The open chain oxime 8 was obtained by treatment of 7 with hydroxylammonium chloride and pyridine in MeOH under reflux. Reaction with N-chlorosuccinimide in DBU afforded compound 9, which reacted with PhNCO in THF to yield phenyl carbamate 10. De-O-acetylation with saturated aqueous NH afforded PUGNAc in 16.7% overall yield.
As shown by Vocadlo and coworkers[39], PUGNAc is a potent inhibitor of hOGA
 = 46 nM) but unfortunately, it is also a potent inhibitor of β-hexosaminidase
(K
i
= 36 nM). The dysfunction of this enzyme results in the accumulation of ganglio-
(K
i
sides and other glycoconjugates in the lysosome, causing Tay Sachs and Sandhoff neurodegenerative diseases, as the enzyme is localized in the lysosome. This lack of selectivity encouraged the modification of PUGNAc structure by varying the 2-N-acyl chain and Stubbs etal.[49] reported the synthesis of PUGNAc and analogs starting from glucosamine hydrochloride to prepare the 2-N-Boc protected precursor 11, sub­mitted to the reaction conditions previously reported by Mohan and Vasella[48] to prepare 12 (Scheme10.3)[49]. Treatment with phenyl isocyanate yields the carba­mate 13, whose Boc deprotection is achieved with trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). Further reaction with acyl chloride in pyridine and acetyl deprotection to release the sugar hydroxy groups with NH and its desired analogs. Unfortunately, they showed K

The crucial step in both the synthetic approaches followed by Vasella group[48] and Vocadlo group[49] is the N-chlorosuccinimide-mediated oxidative ring closure of the oxime precursor in relatively low yields, as a secondary product with a five­membered ring resulting from acetyl migration is formed. Moreover, the separation

of both products was found to be quite difficult[48, 49]. Aiming to overcome this problem, Goddard–Borger and Stubbs[50] developed a new approach, starting from the peracetylated 2-azido precursor 17 (Scheme10.4), obtained from glucosamine in two steps and good overall yield[48, 50]. This azido sugar reacted with benzylamine to deacetylate the anomeric position. Synthesis of the open chain oxime succeeded in very high yield (97%) and ring closure with DBU and N-chlorosuccinimide gave 19 in 93% yield with the desired (Z)-stereochemistry.

group was carried out by reaction of 19 with acetic acid, trimethylphosphine, and a catalytic amount of 2,2′-diphenyldiselenide to afford PUGNAc in 89% yield. This was, indeed, the most fruitful and high-yielding methodology to synthesize PUGNAc, whose access in reasonable quantities has been required for research, due to its broad spectrum of inhibitory activity acting on enzymes interfering in a wide number of biological processes. Interestingly, it was used for the synthesis of PUGNAc analog with galacto configuration, termed Gal-PUGNAc[50], which is a potent and selective inhibitor of lysosomal exo-N-acetyl--glucosaminidases[51].
Pursuing their research to control PUGNAc selectivity, Stubbs and cowork­ers[44], in 2016, synthesized new PUGNAc analogs, where the carbamoyl moiety is varied in size, hydrophobicity, and shape. For the purpose, they envisioned three series of compounds. In one of them, the PUGNAc phenyl group is substituted in the para-position with methyl or methoxy groups, or with a bromine atom, or replaced by a benzyl group. Another series has a cyclic or acyclic aliphatic structure replacing the phenyl group and the third one has NHPh of the carbamate replaced by an amino acid derivative. To access PUGNAc and the designed 63 compounds, the authors developed a new methodology, in which a colorogenic intermediate car­bonate 21 is formed in situ by reaction of 9 with 4-nitrophenyl chloroformate, and then transformed into carbamates in good overall yield by reaction with anilines or amines, in a one-pot reaction (Scheme 10.5). The inhibition of OGA and of

β-hexosaminidase B found for this small library of compounds and the Ki values of the most representative compounds (Table10.1) showed that the aryl derivatives have, in general, a similar potency as PUGNAc, although the electron-donating methoxy group decreased potency as compared to PUGNAc. All the aliphatic deriv­atives were less potent than PUGNAc for both OGA and HEXB, which is the prod­uct of the lysosomal hexosaminidase gene HEXB. Nonetheless, the results obtained demonstrate that the envisioned structural changes were efficient in tuning selectiv­ity to HEXB over OGA, leading to the discovery of potent and selective inhibitors of HEXB.
In conclusion, all efforts to achieve selectivity of PUGNAc for OGA failed, either by changing the carbamate moiety, or the sugar N-acylation. Also, the Gal-PUGNAc analog, in which sugar position 4has the opposite configuration of that exhibited by PUGNAc, is a selective inhibitor of the human lysosomal β-hexosaminidases, changing GM2ganglioside levels in cultured cells, but is not able to affect O-GlcNAc levels [51]. Nonetheless, these selective HEXB inhibitors may become powerful small molecules for defining the role played by GM2in biological processes at the molecular level in diseases with abnormal accumulation of GM2, and for creating models to follow up disease stages.
10.2.2.2 GlcNAcstatins
In 2006, van Aalten and coworkers[52] presented the first rationally designed glu­coimidazole GlcNAcstatin, inspired by the structure of nagstatin (Figure 10.6), a natural product and potent inhibitor of hexosaminidase[55]. GlcNAcstatin has a molecular architecture similar to that of nagstatin, bearing an isopropylamido group on position 8 and a phenethyl group at position 2. The authors expected that

protonation of the exocyclic nitrogen atom of the imidazole ring would improve OGA inhibitory properties by mimicking the charge distribution in the oxocarbe­nium ion, as previously reported for the inhibition of β-glycosidases[56]. Indeed, this small molecule GlcNAcstatin is a potent inhibitor of a bacterial OGA isolated from Clostridium perfringens, which shares high sequence similarity with that of hOGA, showing a K

could confirm a tight interaction between the catalytic site and the presumably pro­tonated imidazole[52].

The first synthesis of GlcNAcstatin[52] is illustrated in Scheme10.6. It was achieved by an elegant but very long synthetic approach with 15 reaction steps starting from dibenzylated -xylose 24. Reduction with sodium borohydride and protection of the free hydroxy groups with tert-butyldimethylsilyl group afforded the open-chain sugar 25, which was selectively deprotected by acid hydrolysis to afford the primary alcohol 26. Swern oxidation gave aldehyde 27, which reacted with the anion of N-tritylimidazole, generated by reaction with butyl lithium, to give a mixture of imidazoles embodying a -gulo chain in 28 and a -ido chain in 29, isolated in 53% and 18% yield, respectively. Acid detritylation of 28 with triethylsilane was followed by benzoylation of the free hydroxy group leading to the formation of 30. Reaction with N-iodosuccinimide gave the 4,5­diiodoimidazole derivative 31, submitted to acid hydrolysis to obtain compound 32 with a free hydroxy group. Reaction with trifluoroacetic anhydride to afford

Reaction with

tert-butylammonium fluoride afforded the alcohol 37, which was converted into the azide 38 with diphenylphosphoryl azide. Staudinger reduction was followed by amine acylation with isobutyric anhydride to afford precursor 39, the hydro­genation of which gave GlcNAcstatin in 7.7% overall yield from the starting material 24. With the promising biological results obtained for GlcNAcstatin, van Aalten, and coworkers used this compound as scaffold, and synthesized GlcNAcstatins A-H (Figure10.6)[53, 54, 59] to further explore the ability of this compound family to inhibit hOGA and to be selective for hOGA against hexosa­minidases. As hOGA active site has a cysteine residue (Cys215), which could react irreversibly with the inhibitor, van Aalten and coworkers designed GlcNAcstatins F and G comprising thiol-reactive groups in the acyl side chain (Scheme10.7)[54]. The synthetic strategy reported in 2010[59] for GlcNAcstatin and analogs differed from the one developed for the initial GlcNAcstatin[52], although some reactions were also applied, as shown in Scheme10.7. The start­ing material used was methyl -mannopyranoside 40, which reacted with butane-2,3-dione and trimethyl orthoformate in the presence of catalytic cam­phorsulfonic acid to afford the diacetal protected mannoside 41. Selective pro­tection of the secondary alcohol with the p-methoxybenzyl group gave 42 in 54% yield, separated from the diprotected compound, obtained in 25% yield. Reaction of OH-6in 42 with triphenylphosphane and iodine gave the iodo derivative 43. The reductive opening of the pyranoside ring was carried out with activated zinc in aqueous THF. The intermediate aldehyde formed was treated with a glyoxal solution in methanolic ammonia to afford the imidazole 44. Its catalytic dihy­droxylation with osmium tetraoxide was highly stereoselective but the configu­ration of the newly formed chiral center was not the required one. After silylation of the primary alcohol, the inversion of this configuration resulted from the introduction of two additional reaction steps, namely Swern oxidation to the ketone and sodium borohydride reduction, giving compound 46 with the desired -gulo stereochemistry. After cyclization to give compound 47, the strategy fol­lowed to introduce the alkyne moiety was similar to that used in the first synthe­sis of GlcNAcstatin[52]. Oxidative removal of the p-methoxybenzyl group with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone, azidation, azide reduction, acyla­tion, hydrogenation, and final deprotection with aqueous TFA for 36 hours gave the target GlcNAcstatin and GlcNacstatins B, D, G, and H in 3.6%, 4.7%, 4.0%,
2.9%, and 4.0% overall yield, respectively, from compound 40. For GlcNAcstatin F, the sulfanyl group was then deacetylated, providing this GlcNAcstatin deriva­tive with 2.0% overall yield.
The synthesized compounds were tested to evaluate their potency for OGA inhibi­tion and selectivity for hOGA over human hexosaminidases (Table10.2)[53, 54]. Most of them presented nanomolar K
values, with the exception of GlcNAcstatin B
