Two libraries of mono- and dimeric pyrrolidine iminosugars were synthesized by CuAAC and (thio)urea-bond-forming reactions from the respective azido/aminohexylpyrrolidine iminosugar precursors. The resulting monomeric and dimeric compounds were screened for inhibition of beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase from Jack beans, the plant ortholog of human lysosomal hexosaminidases. A selection of the best inhibitors of these libraries was then evaluated against human lysosomal beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase B (hHexB) and human nucleocytoplasmic beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase (hOGA). This evaluation identified a potent (nM) and selective monomeric inhibitor of hOGA (compound 7A) that showed a 6770-fold higher affinity for this enzyme than for hHexB. The corresponding dimeric derivative (compound 9D) further remarkably improved the selectivity in the inhibition of hOGA (2.7 x 10(4) times more selective for hOGA over hHexB) and the inhibition potency (by one order of magnitude). Docking studies were performed to explain the selectivity of inhibition observed in compound 7A.
