Stereoselective syntheses of polyhydroxylated azepane derivatives from sugar-based epoxyamides. Part 1: synthesis from D-mannose

Pierre Vogel, Claudia Bello

An approach to the synthesis of polyhydroxyazepane derivatives from sugar-based epoxyamides or epoxyalcohols, in which the total regioselective epoxide opening by nitrogen nucleophiles is the key step, is described. Thus, novel polyhydroxyazepane carboxami ...

Synthesis and glycosidase inhibitory activity of 1-amino-3,6-anhydro-1-deoxy-D-sorbitol derivatives

Pierre Vogel, Claudia Bello

3,6-Anhydro-1-(aryl or alkylamino)-1-deoxy-D-sorbitol derivatives have been prepared in four steps from isosorbide, a by-product from the starch industry. The inhibitory activities of these new compounds have been evaluated towards 13 glycosidases. A first ...

Synthesis of new oxathiazinane dioxides and their in vitro cancer cell growth inhibitory activity

Pierre Vogel, Claudia Bello, Matthias Baud, Françoise Borcard

New oxathiazinane dioxides have been derived from D- and L-serine and tested for their in vitro cell growth inhibitory activity toward SKBR3 breast cancer cells. (5R)-5-(4-(4'-Bromomethyl)phenyl)benzyloxymethyl-[1,3,4]-oxathiazinane- 3,3-dioxide showed a c ...

Search for new anti-cancer heterocyclic compounds

Claudia Bello

Tumors consist of cells whose growth and morphological characteristics are markedly different from those of normal cells. Observation of human and animal models argue that tumor development proceeds via a process formally analogous to Darwinian evolution, ...

A Short and Convenient Synthesis of 1-Deoxymannojirimycin (DMJ) and N-oxy-Analogues from D-Fructose

Pierre Vogel, Sandrine Gerber, Claudia Bello

The ketonitrone 8 was prepared from D-fructose as an inexpensive starting material, and was used in a stereoselective synthesis of 1-deoxymannojirimycin (4), its previously unknown N-hydroxy analogue 15, as well as the polyhydroxylated ketonitrone 14. The ...

Pierre Vogel, Claudia Bello

A series of sulfonium salts derived from 1,5-dithiopent-1-enopyranosides was prepared in a three-step sequence from protected D- and L-erythrofuranoses. The key step is the nucleophilic displacement of a leaving group by a sulfur atom of carbohydrate-deriv ...
