We performed the computer modelling aided design and synthesis of Hex A inhibitors along with their applicability to Tay-Sachs disease treatment through biological evaluation in both an enzymatic and cellular setting. All 16 stereoisomeric N-methyl proline amides iminosugars have been synthesized from lactone saccessible from the enantiomers of glucuronolactone. All eight enantiomers with a (3R)-hydroxyl configuration are low micromolar to nanomolar inhibitors of a range of Hex A. Furthermore, its stereoisomers bearing a (2S,3R)-trans configuration are significantly more potent inhibitors than those with a (2R,3R)-cis motif. DMDP amide improved the thermostability of Hex A in vitro and increased intracellular Hex A activity by 15-fold in Tay-Sachs G269S fibroblasts after incubation for 5 days. These experimental results suggested that DMDP amide will be a good candidate for treatment of Tay-Sachs disease.
