Synthesis and glycosidase inhibition of 3,4,5-trihydroxypiperidines using a one-pot amination-cyclisation cascade reaction
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Trihydroxypiperidines are a therapeutically valuable class of iminosugar. We applied a one-pot amination-cyclisation cascade reaction to synthesise 3,4,5-trihydroxypiperidine stereoisomers in three steps from commercially available pentoses and in excellent overall yields. Using our methodology, the yields of the syntheses of meso-1, meso-2 and 3L are the highest reported to date. The synthetic methodology was readily extended to the three-step synthesis of N-alkyl derivatives by replacing the ammonia nitrogen source with a primary amine. The trihydroxypiperidines and N-alkyl analogues were screened for enzyme inhibitory activity using Fabrazyme (Fabry disease), GCase (Gaucher's disease), Agrobacterium sp. β-glucosidase, and Escherichia coli β-galactosidase. N-Phenylethyl 3,4,5-trihydroxypiperidine (N-phenylethyl-1-(3R,4R,5S)-piperidine-3,4,5-triol) showed good inhibitory activity of Fabrazyme (Ki = 46 μM). This activity was abolished when the N-phenylethyl group was removed or replaced with a non-aromatic alkyl chain.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
