Abstract
A new series of C1-glycosyl thiazole derivatives was synthesised by the reaction of 1-(1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranos-2-yl)thiourea with 2-bromoacetophenone derivatives. Subsequent removal of the acetyl groups were conducted using NaOMe–MeOH. The structures of all new products were confirmed by IR, 1H NMR and HRMS (ESI). The acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activities of these new compounds were tested. Among them, N-(2-acetamido-3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-4-(4-nitrophenyl)-1,3-thiazole-2-amine showed the best activity with an inhibition rate of 43.21%.
