Abstract

The invention provides compounds for selectively inhibiting glycosidases, prodrugs of the compounds, and pharmaceutical compositions including the compounds or prodrugs of the compounds. The invention also provides methods of treating diseases and disorders related to deficiency or overexpression of O-GlcNAcase, accumulation or deficiency of O-GlcNAc.

Claims (60)

1. A compound of Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof:

wherein

X is O or S;

R 1 and R 2 are H, or R 1 is H and R 2 is F, or R 1 is F and R 2 is H, or R 1 is OR 5 and R 2 is H;

R 3 is OR 5 and R 4 is H, or R 3 is H and R 4 is OR 5 ;

each R 5 is independently H or C 1-6 acyl;

R 6 is H, F, or OR 5 ;

each R 7 is independently H or F;

each R 8 is independently selected from the group consisting of: H, C 1-6 alkyl, C 3-6 alkenyl, C 3-6 alkynyl, and C 1-6 alkoxy, wherein the C 1-6 alkyl, C 3-6 alkenyl, C 3-6 alkynyl, or C 1-6 alkoxy are optionally substituted from one up to the maximum number of substituents with one or more of fluoro, OH, or methyl, or

the two R 8 groups are connected together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached to form a ring, said ring optionally independently substituted from one up to the maximum number of substituents with one or more of fluoro, OH, or methyl,

with the proviso that when R 6 is OR 5 , each R 7 is H; and

with the proviso that either R 1 or R 6 is other than OR 5 .

2. The compound of claim 1 wherein:

R 1 and R 2 are H, or R 1 is H and R 2 is F, or R 1 is F and R 2 is H, or R 1 is OH and R 2 is H;

R 3 is H;

R 4 is OH;

R 6 is H or OH;

each R 8 is independently selected from the group consisting of: H, CH 3 , and CH 2 CH 3 , or NR 8 2 is azetidin-1-yl,

with the proviso that when R 6 is OH, each R 7 is H; and

with the proviso that either R 1 or R 6 is other than OH.

3. The compound of claim 1 wherein at least one of R 1 , R 2 , R 6 , and R 7 is F.

4. A compound of Formula (Ia) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof:

wherein

X is O or S;

R 1 and R 2 are H and R 6 is F; or R 1 is H and R 2 is F and R 6 is H, F, or OR 5 ; or R 1 is F and R 2 is H and R 6 is H, F or OR 5 ; or R 1 is OR 5 and R 2 is H and R 6 is F;

each R 5 is independently H or C 1-6 acyl;

each R 7 is independently H or F;

each R 8 is independently selected from the group consisting of: H, C 1-6 alkyl, C 3-6 alkenyl, C 3-6 alkynyl, and C 1-6 alkoxy, wherein the C 1-6 alkyl, C 3-6 alkenyl, C 3-6 alkynyl, or C 1-6 alkoxy are optionally substituted from one up to the maximum number of substituents with one or more of fluoro, OH, or methyl, or

the two R 8 groups are connected together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached to form a ring, said ring optionally independently substituted from one up to the maximum number of substituents with one or more of fluoro, OH, or methyl,

with the proviso that when R 6 is OR 5 , each R 7 is H.
