An Approach to 3-Oxolithocholic Acid α-Acylaminocarboxamides with α-Glucosidase Inhibitory Activity
摘要
The one-pot synthesis of novel molecular hybrids incorporating pseudopeptide and steroidal moieties is described. For this, an efficient conjugation approach based on the Ugi four-component reaction (Ugi-4CR) was implemented for the ligation of amines or L-aminoacids to 3-oxolithocholic acid. Compounds 3 and 4 showed a more pronounced α-glucosidase inhibitory activity than acarbose in vitro with IC50 values 16.30 and 11.04 μM.
