Racemic cis-1,1-dioxo-5,6-dihydro-[4,1,2]oxathiazine derivative 4a was isolated as an impurity in a sample of a hit from a HTS campaign on 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1). After separation by chiral chromatography the 4a-S, 8a-R enantiomer of compound 4a was identified as the true, potent enzyme inhibitor. The cocrystal structure of 4a with human and murine 11ß-HSD1 revealed the unique binding mode of the oxathiazine series. SAR elucidation and optimization in regard to metabolic stability led to monocyclic tetramethyloxathiazines as exemplified by compound 21g.
