Aqueous methanol extracts from the bulbs of Hyacinthusorientalis were subjected to various ion-exchange column chromatographic steps to give 2(R),5(R)-bis(hydroxymethyl)-3(R),4(R)-dihydroxypyrrolidine (DMDP) (1), 2,5-dideoxy-2,5-imino-dl-glycero-d-manno-heptitol (homoDMDP) (2), 2,5-imino-2,5,6-trideoxy-d-manno-heptitol (6-deoxy-homoDMDP) (3), 2,5-imino-2,5,6-trideoxy-d-gulo-heptitol (4), 1-deoxynojirimycin (5), 1-deoxymannojirimycin (6), alpha-homonojirimycin (7), beta-homonojirimycin (8), alpha-homomannojirimycin (9), beta-homomannojirimycin (10), and 7-O-beta-d-glucopyranosyl-alpha-homonojirimycin (MDL 25,637) (11). The structures of the new natural products 3 and 4 were determined by spectroscopic analysis, including extensive 1D and 2D NMR studies. Compound 2 was found to be a potent inhibitor of bacterial beta-glucosidase, mammalian beta-galactosidases, and mammalian trehalases, while 3 was a potent inhibitor of rice alpha-glucosidase and rat intestinal maltase. Compound 4 was observed to be a good inhibitor of alpha-l-fucosidase.

2,6-Dideoxy-7-O-(beta-D-glucopyranosyl) 2,6-imino-D-glycero-L-gulo- heptitol (7-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-alpha-homonojirimycin, 1) was isolated from the 50% methanol extract of the whole plant of Lobelia sessilifolia (Campanulaceae), which was found to potently inhibit rice alpha-glucosidase. Adenophorae radix, roots of Adenophora spp. (Campanulaceae), yielded new homonojirimycin derivatives, adenophorine (2), 1-deoxyadenophorine (3), 5-deoxyadenophorine (4), 1-C-(5-amino-5-deoxy-beta-D-galactopyranosyl)butane (beta-1-C-butyl-deoxygalactonojirimycin, 5), and the 1-O-beta-D-glucosides of 2 (6) and 4 (7), in addition to the recently discovered alpha-1-C-ethylfagomine (8) and the known 1-deoxymannojirimycin (9) and 2R,5R-bis(hydroxymethyl)-3R,4R- dihydroxypyrrolidine (DMDP, 10). Compound 4 is a potent inhibitor of coffee bean alpha-galactosidase (IC50 = 6.4 microM) and a reasonably good inhibitor of bovine liver beta-galactosidase (IC50 = 34 microM). Compound 5 is a very specific and potent inhibitor of coffee bean alpha-galactosidase (IC50 = 0.71 microM). The glucosides 1 and 7 were potent inhibitors of various alpha-glucosidases, with IC50 values ranging from 1 to 0.1 microM. Furthermore, 1 potently inhibited porcine kidney trehalase (IC50 = 0.013 microM) but failed to inhibit alpha-galactosidase, whereas 7 was a potent inhibitor of alpha-galactosidase (IC50 = 1.7 microM) without trehalase inhibitory activity.

2,5-Dideoxy-2,5-imino-d-glycero-d-manno-heptitol (homoDMDP) is widely distributed in Hyacinthaceae plants and can also be regarded as the alpha-1-C-(1,2-dihydroxyethyl) derivative of 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino-d-arabinitol (d-AB1). In a search for glycosidase inhibitors in this family of plants, we isolated three new d-AB1 derivatives bearing the 2-hydroxypropyl (1), 1,2-dihydroxypropyl (2), and 1,5,7,12,13-pentahydroxytridecyl (3) side chains at the C-1alpha position, respectively, from the bulbs of Scilla peruviana. Alkaloid 3 was a powerful inhibitor of bacterial beta-glucosidase (IC(50) = 80 nM) and bovine liver beta-galactosidase (IC(50) = 90 nM). This plant coproduced four new pyrrolizidine alkaloids, alpha-5-C-(3-hydroxybutyl)-7-epi-australine (4), alpha-5-C-(3-hydroxybutyl)hyacinthacine A(1) (5), alpha-5-C-(1,3-dihydroxybutyl)hyacinthacine A(1) (6), and alpha-5-C-(1,3,4-trihydroxybutyl)hyacinthacine A(1) (7). Alkaloids 4 and 6 were potent inhibitors of yeast alpha-glucosidase, with IC(50) values of 6.6 and 6.3 microM, respectively, and alkaloid 6 was also a potent inhibitor of bacterial beta-glucosidase with an IC(50) value of 5.1 microM.

We designed and synthesized hydrogen bond based probes 1-8 with the exception of known glycosidase inhibition mechanisms, and aglycon specificity of 11 different sources of alpha-glucosidases were investigated using their probes. Probe 4 (2,6-anhydro-1-deoxy-1-[(1-oxopentyl-5-hydroxy)amino]-D-glycero-D-ido-heptitol) showed a potent inhibition of S. cerevisiae alpha-glucosidase among all alpha-glucosidases. Probe 4 was found to be a competitive inhibitor for S. cerevisiae alpha-glucosidase with Ki 0.13 mM.
