Nagstatin is a naturally occurring carbohydrate mimic with glycosidase inhibiting properties. It was isolated from the fermentation broth of Streptomyces amakuensis and was shown to be specific inhibitor of N-acetyl-~-D-glucosaminidase.1 The aims of the described study were to establish an efficient and versatile approach towards the synthesis of nagstatin that would be applicable for a rapid synthesis ofa library of nagstatin analogues. In the initial approach, a key lactam intermediate was generated via ring-closing metathesis of an amide, which was derived from both enantiomers of methionine. An Nisoxazolylmethyl group served the dual purpose of protecting group and as a direct precursor of the imidazole unit.
