    Abstract:
    Epimeric series of aryl-substituted glucopyranosylidene-spiro-imidazolinones, an unprecedented new ring system, were synthesized from the corresponding Schiff bases of O-perbenzoylated (gluculopyranosylamine)onamides by intramolecular ring closure of the aldimine moieties with the carboxamide group elicited by N-bromosuccinimide in pyridine. Test compounds were obtained by Zemplén O-debenzoylation. Stereochemistry and ring tautomers of the new compounds were investigated by NMR, time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT)-electronic circular dichroism, and DFT-NMR methods. Kinetic studies with rabbit muscle and human liver glycogen phosphorylases showed that the (R)-imidazolinones were 14-216 times more potent than the (S) epimers. The 2-naphthyl-substituted (R)-imidazolinone was the best inhibitor of the human enzyme (Ki 1.7 μM) and also acted on HepG2 cells (IC50 177 μM). X-ray crystallography revealed that only the (R) epimers bound in the crystal. Their inhibitory efficacy is based on the hydrogen-bonding interactions of the carbonyl oxygen and the NH of the imidazolinone ring.
