Journal ArticleDOI

New Inhibitors of Glycogen Phosphorylase as Potential Antidiabetic Agents

TL;DR: The synthesis, structure determination and computational studies of the most recent inhibitors of glycogen phosphorylase at the different binding sites are presented and analyzed and have the potential to facilitate structure-based drug design.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glucose-based spiro-isoxazolines: a new family of potent glycogen phosphorylase inhibitors.

TL;DR: Docking calculations with GLIDE in extra-precision (XP) mode yielded excellent agreement with experiment, as judged by comparison of the predicted binding modes of the five ligands with the crystallographic conformations and the good correlation between the docking scores and the experimental free binding energies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Iminosugars as Potential Inhibitors of Glycogenolysis: Structural Insights into the Molecular Basis of Glycogen Phosphorylase Inhibition

TL;DR: X-ray structures of 5, 9, and its N-3-phenylpropyl analogue 8 in complex with rabbit muscle glycogen phosphorylase (GPb) shows that iminosugars bind tightly at the catalytic site in the presence of the substrate phosphate and induce conformational changes that characterize the R-state conformation of the enzyme.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bioactivity of glycogen phosphorylase inhibitors that bind to the purine nucleoside site.

TL;DR: Results show key differences between purine site and indole carboxamide site inhibitors in terms of relative roles of dephosphorylation of phosphorylase-a as compared with allosteric inhibition, counteraction of the efficacy of the inhibitors on glycogenolysis by dibutyryl-cAMP and stimulation of glycogen synthesis.
