Abstract

We developed potent and selective aminocyclopentane-derived inhibitors of human O-N-acetyl-β-d-glucosaminidase (OGA) implicated in Alzheimer's disease. For example compound 13 was a nanomolar OGA inhibitor with 92 000-fold selectivity over human HexB. It was non-toxic and increased protein O-GlcNAcylation in the culture of murine neural cells, showing new alternatives in the treatment of tauopathies.
