Abstract:A self-assembled multivalent glycosidase inhibitor based on perylene bisimide-deoxynojirimycin conjugates was constructed, inhibited α-mannosidase and exhibited a Ki value of 38 nM, increased approximately 2763-fold compared with the control drug (miglitol).
“…More recently, the acquisition and solving of X-ray structures of two complexes between enzymes and a multimeric inhibitor allowed to draw explanations for the strongest inhibitory multivalent effect obtained to date with cluster 1e [50], or for an exceptional selectivity [49], and opened the way for a new area where rational design of multivalent inhibitors will be possible. Moreover, multivalent inhibitors have demonstrated their therapeutic potential and have proven to be able to cross membranes by in vitro [52,53] and in vivo [54] experiments. In this project, we wanted to build new multivalent constructs by associating the advantages of calixarene scaffolds with those of 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ), the inhitope that has led to the best inhibitory multivalent effect reported so far [44].…”
A set of 6- to 24-valent clusters was constructed with terminal deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) inhibitory heads through C6 or C9 linkers by way of Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reactions between mono- or trivalent azido-armed iminosugars and calix[8]arene scaffolds differing in their valency and their rigidity but not in their size. The power of multivalency to upgrade the inhibition potency of the weak DNJ inhibitor (monovalent DNJ Ki being at 322 and 188 µM for C6 or C9 linkers, respectively) was evaluated on the model glycosidase Jack Bean α-mannosidase (JBα-man). Although for the clusters with the shorter C6 linker the rigidity of the scaffold was essential, these parameters had no influence for clusters with C9 chains: all of them showed rather good relative affinity enhancements per inhibitory epitopes between 70 and 160 highlighting the sound combination of the calix[8]arene core and the long alkyl arms. Preliminary docking studies were performed to get insights into the preferred binding modes.

“…The first self-assembled multivalent glycosidase inhibitor was constructed with glycopolypeptide derivatives by Lecommandoux and co-workers, and it exhibited a 206-fold higher inhibition effect against α-mannosidase (jack bean) than the monovalent agent. Recently, we developed self-assembled multivalent glycosidase inhibitors based on perylene–deoxynojirimycin and amphiphilic fatty acid–deoxynojirimycin , conjugates, which showed potent multivalent glycosidase inhibition effects against α-mannosidase (jack bean) with K i values of 38 nm and 0.11 μM, respectively.…”

“…Although multivalent glycosidase inhibitors have shown enhanced glycosidase inhibition activities, especially against α-mannosidase (jack bean), further applications and research directions need to be developed in the future . Notably, we first evaluated the hypoglycemic effects of self-assembled multivalent glycosidase inhibitors in mice, which opened a new avenue of research on novel antihyperglycemic agents. ,, However, there are some problems that need to be solved in regard to multivalent antihyperglycemic agents, such as the relationship between the inhibition of glycosidase activity and hypoglycemic effects and the relationship between the self-assembly properties and the inhibition of glycosidase activity or the hypoglycemic effects.…”
Although multivalent glycosidase inhibitors have shown enhanced glycosidase inhibition activities, further applications and research directions need to be developed in the future. In this paper, two positional isomeric perylene bisimide derivatives (PBI-4DNJ-1 and PBI-4DNJ-2) with 1-deoxynojirimycin conjugated were synthesized. Furthermore, PBI-4DNJ-1 and PBI-4DNJ-2 showed positional isomeric effects on the optical properties, self-assembly behaviors, glycosidase inhibition activities, and hypoglycemic effects. Importantly, PBI-4DNJ-1 exhibited potent hypoglycemic effects in mice with 41.33 ± 2.84 and 37.45 ± 3.94% decreases in blood glucose at 15 and 30 min, respectively. The molecular docking results showed that the active fragment of PBI-4DNJ-1 has the highest binding energy (9.649 kcal/mol) and the highest total hydrogen bond energy (62.83 kJ/mol), which were related to the positional isomeric effect on the hypoglycemic effect in mice. This work introduced a new means to develop antihyperglycemic agents in the field of multivalent glycomimetics.
Diabetes mellitus is a serious and chronic disease. Recently, multivalent glycosidase inhibitors were found and rapidly developed. The key element for construction of multivalent glycosidase inhibitor remained a large challenge. In this paper, a perylene monoimide derivative (PMI-DNJ) with 1-deoxynojirimycin conjugated was synthesized. Furthermore, its self-assembly behaviors and glycosidase inhibition effects were studied. PMI-DNJ showed very good glycosidase inhibition activity against α-mannosidase (jack bean) with a Ki value of 1.41 μM, increased approximately 24-fold and 65-fold compared with the control drugs (miglitol and DNJ-1). Moreover, the Ki value of PMI-DNJ against α-glucosidase was 10.98 μM, increased approximately 1.88-fold and 5.6-fold compared with the control drugs (miglitol and DNJ-1). In addition, PMI-DNJ exhibited potent hypoglycemic effects in mice with 27.36% and 30.08 % decreases in blood glucose under the drug dose of 0.5 and 1.0 mg/kg. This work introduced a new means to develop antihyperglycemic agents in the field of multivalent glycomimetics.
