| Research Abstract |
This study aims to develop novel glycosidase inhibitors and to use these inhibitors as versatile research tools in glycosidases studies from a bioorganic point of view. For this purpose, we have designed and synthesized f -glycosylamidine derivatives as highly potent and glycon-selective inhibitors of β-glycosidases. β-Glycosylamidines are a substrate analog in which a positively charged amidino group is incorporated into a sugar surrogate in such a way as to maintain the whole structure of the glycon, including the stereochemistry at C-1. The β-glycosylamidines are readily synthesized from various sugars n two steps without using any protective groups. The β-glycosylamidines with each glycon moiety serve as highly potent inhibitors (K_i<0.1μM) toward the β-glycosidases with the corresponding glycon substrate specificity, while the β-glycosidases with different glycon substrate specificity are not inhibited significantly. Furthermore, varying structures can be introduced into the "agly

con" moiety of the inhibitor to increase or tune the inhibition potency and selectivity towards various β-glycosidases. Therefore the β-glycosyamidines are versatile β-glycosidase inhibitors in which both the glycon and aglyon moieties can be adjusted according to the enzyme to be inhibited. This property can be successfully used as a ligand for affinity chromatography of glycosidases.. Thus, tea leaf β-glucosidases were purified to homogeneity in one step by the affinity adsorbent with β-glucosylamidine as ligand, while a β-galactosidase from mold was also purified in one step by an affinity chromatography with β-galactosylarnidine as ligand. Other β-glycosidases such as β-primeverosidase, a novel diglycoside-specific glycosidase, was also affinity-purified successfully by using the corresponding glycosylamidine as ligand. The purified tea leaf β-glucosidases were subjected to amino acid sequence analysis to clone the genes. Hence the β-glycosylamidines are versatile research tools in glycosidase studies spanning from the isolation, the characterization and the gene cloning. Less
