Cyclophellitol aziridines are potent irreversible inhibitors of retaining glycosidases and versatile intermediates in the synthesis of activity‐based glycosidase probes (ABPs). Direct 3‐amino‐2‐(trifluoromethyl)quinazolin‐4(3 H )‐one‐mediated aziridination of l ‐ ido ‐configured cyclohexene has enabled the synthesis of new covalent inhibitors and ABPs of α‐ l ‐iduronidase, deficiency of which underlies the lysosomal storage disorder mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I). The iduronidase ABPs react covalently and irreversibly in an activity‐based manner with human recombinant α‐ l ‐iduronidase (rIDUA, Aldurazyme ® ). The structures of IDUA when complexed with the inhibitors in a non‐covalent transition state mimicking form and a covalent enzyme‐bound form provide insights into its conformational itinerary. Inhibitors 1 – 3 adopt a half‐chair conformation in solution ( 4 H 3 and 3 H 4 ), as predicted by DFT calculations, which is different from the conformation of the Michaelis complex observed by crystallographic studies. Consequently, 1 – 3 may need to overcome an energy barrier in order to switch from the 4 H 3 conformation to the transition state ( 2, 5 B) binding conformation before reacting and adopting a covalent 5 S 1 conformation. rIDUA can be labeled with fluorescent Cy5 ABP 2 , which allows monitoring of the delivery of therapeutic recombinant enzyme to lysosomes, as is intended in enzyme replacement therapy for the treatment of MPS I patients.
