Carbohydr Res. 2009 May 12;344(7):841-50. doi: 10.1016/j.carres.2009.02.012. Epub 2009 Feb 14.

Abstract

Synthesis and biological evaluation of glucoconjugates of oleanolic acid, linked by either a triazole moiety or an ester function, as novel inhibitors of glycogen phosphorylase have been described. Several triterpene-glycoside conjugates exhibited moderate-to-good inhibitory activity against rabbit muscle GPa. Compound 12 showed the best inhibition with an IC(50) value of 1.14 microM. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis of these inhibitors is also discussed. Possible binding modes of compound 12 were explored by molecular docking simulations.
