Following our recent study of N-(β-D-glucopyranosyl)oxadiazolecarboxamides (Polyak et al., Biorg. Med. Chem. 2013, 21, 5738) revealed as moderate inhibitors of glycogen phosphorylase (GP), in silico docking calculations using Glide have been performed on N-(β-D-glucopyranosyl)-1,2,4-triazolecarboxamides with different aryl substituents predicting more favorable binding at GP. The ligands were subsequently synthesized in moderate yields using N-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-tetrazole-5-carboxamide as starting material. Kinetics experiments against rabbit muscle glycogen phosphorylase b (RMGPb) revealed the ligands to be low μM GP inhibitors; the phenyl analogue (Ki = 1 μM) is one of the most potent N-(β-D-glucopyranosyl)-heteroaryl-carboxamide-type inhibitors of the GP catalytic site discovered to date. Based on QM and QM/MM calculations, the potency of the ligands is predicted to arise from favorable intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds formed by the most stable solution phase tautomeric (t2) state of the 1,2,4-triazole in a conformationally dynamic system. ADMET property predictions revealed the compounds to have promising pharmacokinetic properties without any toxicity. This study highlights the benefits of a computationally led approach to GP inhibitor design.
