Abstract
Borane-trimethylamine complex (Me3N·BH3; BTM) is the most stable of the amine-borane complexes that are commercially available, and it is cost-effective. It is a valuable reagent in organic chemistry with applications in the reduction of carbonyl groups and carbon-nitrogen double bond reduction, with considerable examples in the reduction of oximes, hydrazones and azines. The transfer hydrogenation of aromatic N-heterocycles and the selective N-monomethylation of primary anilines are further examples of recent applications, whereas the reduction of nitrobenzenes to anilines and the reductive deprotection of N-tritylamines are useful tools in the organic synthesis. Moreover, BTM is the main reagent in the regioselective cleavage of cyclic acetals, a reaction of great importance for carbohydrate chemistry. Recent innovative applications of BTM, such as CO2 utilization as feedstock and radical chemistry by photocatalysis, have extended their usefulness in new reactions. The present review is focused on the applications of borane-trimethylamine complex as a reagent in organic synthesis and has not been covered in previous reviews regarding amine-borane complexes.

Bennett JJ, Murphy PV. Flow chemistry based catalytic hydrogenation for improving the synthesis of 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) from an l-sorbose derived precursor. Carbohydr Res 2023; 529:108845. [PMID: 37210941 DOI: 10.1016/j.carres.2023.108845] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2023] [Revised: 05/12/2023] [Accepted: 05/14/2023] [Indexed: 05/23/2023]
Abstract
1-Deoxynojirimycin (1-DNJ) is a glycoprocessing inhibitor, and it serves as a synthetic precursor to two of three currently marketed iminosugar drugs, miglustat (N-butyl DNJ/Zavesca®) and miglitol (Glyset®). Herein a continuous flow procedure is presented that shortens a synthesis of 1-DNJ from an intermediate prepared from l-sorbose. Batch reactions involving an azide reduction, subsequent reductive amination-based cyclisation, and O-benzyl deprotection in a previous report required two steps and the use of an acid. Here, this sequence is achieved in one step using the H-Cube® MiniPlus continuous flow reactor. Subsequent reductive amination of 1-DNJ with butanal using the H-Cube® gave NB-DNJ.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated a key enzyme encoded by the gene copper amine oxidase (MaCAO), which is involved in the biosynthetic pathway of 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ)1, an active ingredient in mulberry leaves. The 1680 bp long MaCAO was successfully cloned (GenBank accession no: MH205733). Subsequently, MaCAO was heterologously expressed using a recombinant plasmid, pET-22b (+)/MaCAO in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). A protein with a molecular mass of 62.9 kDa was obtained, whose function was validated through enzymatic reaction. Bioinformatics analysis identified that MaCAO contained the same conserved domain as that of copper amine oxidases ("NYDY"). Furthermore, the tertiary structure of the predicted protein using homology modeling revealed 46% similarity with that of copper amine oxidase (Protein Data Bank ID: 1W2Z). Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis of the enzymatic reaction revealed that MaCAO could catalyze 1,5-pentanediamine to produce 5-aminopentanal. Additionally, levels of mulberry leaf DNJ content were significantly positively correlated with expression levels of MaCAO (P < 0.001). Our results conclude that MaCAO is the key enzyme involved in the biosynthetic pathway of DNJ. The function of MaCAO is validated, providing a foundation for the further analysis of biosynthetic pathways of DNJ in mulberry leaves using tools of synthetic biology.

Abstract
This personal account focuses on synthesis of polyhydroxylated piperidines, a subset of compounds within the iminosugar family. Cyclisations to form the piperidine ring include reductive amination, substitution via amines, iminium ions and cyclic nitrones, transamidification (N-acyl transfer), addition to alkenes, ring contraction and expansion, photoinduced electron transfer, multicomponent Ugi reaction and ring closing metathesis. Enantiomerically pure piperidines are obtained from chiral pool precursors (e. g. sugars, amino acids, Garner's aldehyde) or asymmetric reactions (e. g. epoxidation, dihydroxylation, aminohydroxylation, aldol, biotransformation). Our laboratory have contributed cascades based on reductive amination from glycosyl azide precursors as well as Huisgen azide-alkene cycloaddition. The latter's combination with allylic azide rearrangement has given substituted piperidines, including those with quaternary centres adjacent to nitrogen.

Abstract
Mulberry (Morus alba L.) represents one of the most commonly utilized plants in traditional medicine and as a nutritional plant used worldwide. The polyhydroxylated alkaloid 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) is the major bioactive compounds of mulberry in treating diabetes. However, the DNJ content in mulberry is very low. Therefore, identification of key genes involved in DNJ alkaloid biosynthesis will provide a basis for the further analysis of its biosynthetic pathway and ultimately for the realization of synthetic biological production. Here, two cDNA libraries of mulberry leaf samples with different DNJ contents were constructed. Approximately 16 Gb raw RNA-Seq data was generated and de novo assembled into 112,481 transcripts, with an average length of 766 bp and an N50 value of 1,392. Subsequently, all unigenes were annotated based on nine public databases; 11,318 transcripts were found to be significantly differentially regulated. A total of 38 unique candidate genes were identified as being involved in DNJ alkaloid biosynthesis in mulberry, and nine unique genes had significantly different expression. Three key transcripts of DNJ biosynthesis were identified and further characterized using RT-PCR; they were assigned to lysine decarboxylase and primary-amine oxidase genes. Five CYP450 transcripts and two methyltransferase transcripts were significantly associated with DNJ content. Overall, the biosynthetic pathway of DNJ alkaloid was preliminarily speculated.

Abstract
The alpha-glucosidase inhibitors N-methyl-1-deoxynojirimycin (MDNJ) and castanospermine have been shown to inhibit angiogenesis. A hybrid of 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) and an aryl-1,2,3-triazole, which inhibits both an alpha-glucosidase and methionine aminopeptidase-2 (MetAP2), displayed properties associated with inhibition of angiogenesis (Bioorg. Med. Chem., 16, 2008, 6333-7). The biological evaluation of a structural analogue N-(8-(3-ethynylphenoxy)octyl-1-deoxynojirimycin is described herein. Although this alkyne derivative did not inhibit MetAP2, it inhibited a bacterial alpha-glucosidase, altered bovine aortic endothelial cell (BAEC) surface oligosaccharide expression and inhibited BAEC proliferation by inducing G1 phase cell cycle arrest. Experiments showed G1 arrest was attributable to the alpha-glucosidase inhibitor inducing an increase in p27(Kip1) expression and high phosphorylation of ERK1/2 without a reduction in cyclin D1. The DNJ derivative (0.1 mM) prevented capillary tube formation from bovine aortic endothelial cells, whereas DNJ or other analogues were unable to inhibit tube formation at the same concentration. Stress fiber assembly in bovine aortic endothelial cells was abolished, and BAEC migration was inhibited indicating the inhibition of tube formation by this derivative is partially a result of a reduction in cell motility. The agent also caused a reduction in secretion of MMP-2 from bovine aortic endothelial cells. Therefore, the new alpha-glucosidase inhibitor has a different mechanism by which it inhibits angiogenesis in vitro when compared with deoxynojirimycin, the deoxynojirimycin -triazole hybrid, N-methyl-1-deoxynojirimycin and castanospermine.
