- Single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction and solid-state 13C NMR of p-nitrophenyl glycopyranosides, the derivatives of d-galactose, d-glucose, and d-mannose
-
The X-ray diffraction patterns, 13C CP MAS NMR spectra, and powder X-ray diffraction analyses were obtained for selected p-nitrophenyl glycosides: α- and β-d-galactopyranosides (1 and 2), α- and β-d-glucopyranosides (3 and 4), and α- and β-d-mannopyranosides (5 and 6). In X-ray diffraction analysis of 1 and 2, characteristic shortening and lengthening of selected bonds were observed in the molecules of 1 due to anomeric effect, and in the crystal lattice of 1 and 2, hydrogen bonds of complex network were detected. In the crystal asymmetric unit of 1 there were two independent molecules, whereas in 2 there was one molecule. For 1 and 3-6 the number of resonances in solid-state 13C NMR spectra exceeded the number of the carbon atoms in the molecules, while for 2 there were distinct singlet resonances in its solid-state NMR spectrum. Furthermore, the powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) performed for 1-3 and 5 revealed that 1, 3, and 5 existed as single polymorphs proving that the doublets observed in appropriate solid-state NMR spectra were connected with two non-equivalent molecules in the crystal asymmetric unit. On the other hand 2 existed as a mixture of two polymorphs, one of them was almost in agreement with the calculated pattern obtained from XRD (the difference in volumes of the unit cells), and the subsequent unknown polymorph existed in small amounts and therefore it was not observed in solid-state NMR measurements.

- Controllable Iterative β-Glucosylation from UDP-Glucose by Bacillus cereus Glycosyltransferase GT1: Application for the Synthesis of Disaccharide-Modified Xenobiotics
-
Glycosylation in natural product metabolism and xenobiotic detoxification often leads to disaccharide-modified metabolites. The chemical synthesis of such glycosides typically separates the glycosylation steps in space and time. The option to perform the two-step glycosylation in one pot, and catalyzed by a single permissive enzyme, is interesting for a facile access to disaccharide-modified products. Here, we reveal the glycosyltransferase GT1 from Bacillus cereus (BcGT1; gene identifier: KT821092) for iterative O-β-glucosylation from uridine 5′-diphosphate (UDP)-glucose to form a β-linked disaccharide of different metabolites, including a C15 hydroxylated detoxification intermediate of the agricultural herbicide cinmethylin (15HCM). We identify thermodynamic and kinetic requirements for the selective formation of the disaccharide compared to the monosaccharide-modified 15HCM. As shown by NMR and high-resolution MS, β-cellobiosyl and β-gentiobiosyl groups are attached to the aglycone's O15 in a 2:1 ratio. Glucosylation reactions on methylumbelliferone and 4-nitrophenol involve reversible glycosyl transfer from and to UDP as well as UDP-glucose hydrolysis, both catalyzed by BcGT1. Collectively, this study delineates the iterative β-d-glucosylation of aglycones by BcGT1 and demonstrates applicability for the programmable one-pot synthesis of disaccharide-modified 15HCM.

- Applications of Shoda's reagent (DMC) and analogues for activation of the anomeric centre of unprotected carbohydrates
-
2-Chloro-1,3-dimethylimidazolinium chloride (DMC, herein also referred to as Shoda's reagent) and its derivatives are useful for numerous synthetic transformations in which the anomeric centre of unprotected reducing sugars is selectively activated in aqueous solution. As such unprotected sugars can undergo anomeric substitution with a range of added nucleophiles, providing highly efficient routes to a range of glycosides and glycoconjugates without the need for traditional protecting group manipulations. This mini-review summarizes the development of DMC and some of its derivatives/analogues, and highlights recent applications for protecting group-free synthesis.

- Direct Synthesis of para-Nitrophenyl Glycosides from Reducing Sugars in Water
-
Reducing sugars may be directly converted into the corresponding para-nitrophenyl (pNP) glycosides using 2-chloro-1,3-dimethylimidazolinium chloride (DMC), para-nitrophenol, and a suitable base in aqueous solution. The reaction is stereoselective for sugars with either a hydroxyl or an acetamido group at position 2, yielding the 1,2-trans pNP glycosides. A judicious choice of base allows extension to di-and oligosaccharide substrates, including a complex N-glycan oligosaccharide isolated from natural sources, without the requirement of any protecting group manipulations

- Scope of the DMC mediated glycosylation of unprotected sugars with phenols in aqueous solution
-
Activation of reducing sugars in aqueous solution using 2-chloro-1,3-dimethylimidazolinium chloride (DMC) and triethylamine in the presence of para-nitrophenol allows direct stereoselective conversion to the corresponding 1,2-Trans para-nitrophenyl glycosides without the need for any protecting groups. The reaction is applicable to sulfated and phosphorylated sugars, but not to ketoses or uronic acids or their derivatives. When applied to other phenols the product yield was found to depend on the pKa of the added phenol, and the process was less widely applicable to 2-Acetamido sugars. For 2-Acetamido substrates an alternative procedure in which the glycosyl oxazoline was pre-formed, the reaction mixture freeze-dried, and the crude product then reacted with an added phenol in a polar aprotic solvent system with microwave irradiation proved to be a useful simplification.

- Preparation of salidroside with n-butyl β-D-glucoside as the glycone donor via a two-step enzymatic synthesis catalyzed by immobilized β-glucosidase from bitter almonds
-
β-Glucosidase from bitter almonds was immobilized on epoxy group-functionalized beads for catalyzing salidroside synthesis in a two-step process with n-butyl-β-D-glucoside (BG) as the glucosyl donor. The formation of salidroside ((0.59 ± 0.02) M) at a yield of 39.04%±1.25% was accomplished in 8 h by the transglucosylation of immobilized β-glucosidase at pH?8.0 and 50 °C when the ratio of BG to tyrosol was 1:2 (mol/mol). A study on the influence of different glycosyl acceptors demonstrated that the yield of the glucosylation reaction of phenylmethanol and cyclohexanol was higher than that of either phenol or cyclohexanol. This may account for the selectivity of the immobilized enzyme towards the alcoholic hydroxyl group of tyrosol in the salidroside synthesis reaction. A study on the synthesis of BG via the reverse hydrolysis of immobilized β-glucosidase showed that a yield of 78.04%±2.2% BG can be obtained with a product concentration of (0.23 ± 0.015) M.

- A new look at acid catalyzed deacetylation of carbohydrates: A regioselective synthesis and reactivity of 2-O-acetyl aryl glycopyranosides
-
In the present work we report that acetyl groups of per – acetylated aryl glycosides have different reactivity during the acidic deacetylation using HCl/EtOH in CHCl3, which leads to preferential deacetylation at O-3, O-4 and O-6. Thereby, the one-step preparation of 2-O-acetyl aryl glycosides with simple aglycon was accomplished for the first time. It was proved that the found reagent is to be general and unique for the preparation of series of 2-О-acetyl aryl glycosides. We have determined the influence of both carbohydrate moiety and the aglycon on the selectivity of deacetylation reaction by kinetic experiments. Using DFT/B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) and semi-empirical АМ1 methods we have found that the highest activation barrier is for 2-О-acetyl group. This completely explains the least reactivity of 2-О-acetyl group.

- Glycosynthase with broad substrate specificity-an efficient biocatalyst for the construction of oligosaccharide library
-
A versatile glycosynthase (TnG-E338A) with strikingly broad substrate scope has been developed from Thermus nonproteolyticus β-glycosidase (TnG) by using site-directed mutagenesis. The practical utility of this biocatalyst has been demonstrated by the facile generation of a small library containing various oligosaccharides and a steroidal glycoside (total 25 compounds) in up to 100 % isolated yield. Moreover, an array of eight gluco-oligosaccharides has been readily synthesized by the enzyme in a one-pot, parallel reaction, which highlights its potential in the combinatorial construction of a carbohydrate library that will assist glycomic and glycotherapeutic research. Significantly, the enzyme provides a means by which glycosynthase technology may be extended to combinatorial chemistry.

- The kinetics of p-nitrophenyl-β-d-cellobioside hydrolysis and transglycosylation by Thermobifida fusca Cel5Acd
-
The hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl-β-1,4-cellobioside (pNP-G2) by the catalytic domain of the retaining-family 5-2 endocellulase Cel5A from Thermobifida fusca (Cel5Acd) was studied. The dominant reaction pathway involves hydrolysis of the aglyconic bond, producing cellobiose (G2) and a 'reporter' species p-nitrophenol (pNP), which was monitored spectrophotometrically to track the reaction. We also detected the production of cellotriose (G3) and p-nitrophenyl-glucoside (pNP-G1), confirming the presence of a competing transglycosylation pathway. We use a mechanistic model of hydrolysis and transglycosylation to derive an expression for the rate of pNP-formation as a function of enzyme concentration, substrate concentration, and several lumped kinetics parameters. The derivation assumes that the quasi-steady-state assumption (QSSA) applies for three intermediate species in the mechanism; we determine conditions under which this assumption is rigorously justified. We integrate the rate expression and compare its integral form to pNP-versus-time data collected for a range of enzyme and substrate concentrations. The integral comparison gives a stringent test of the mechanistic model, and it serves to quantify the lumped kinetics parameters with good statistical precision, particularly a previously unidentified parameter that determines the selectivity of hydrolysis versus transglycosylation. The integrated rate expression accounts well for pNP-versus-time data under all circumstances we have investigated.

- Isolation and characterization of a β-primeverosidase-like enzyme from Penicillium multicolor
-
p-Nitrophenyl and eugenyl β-primeveroside (6-O-β-D-xylopyranosyl- β-D-glucopyranoside) hydrolytic activity was found in culture filtrate from Penicillium multicolor IAM7153, and the enzyme was isolated. The enzyme was purified as a β-primeverosidase-like enzyme by precipitation with ammonium sulfate followed by successive chromatographies on Phenyl Sepharose, Mono Q, and β-galactosylamidine affinity columns. The molecular mass was estimated to be 50 kDa by SDS-PAGE and gel filtration. The purified enzyme was highly specific toward the substrate p-nitrophenyl β-primeveroside, which was cleaved in an endo-manner into primeverose and p-nitrophenol, but a series of β-primeveroside as aroma precursors were hydrolyzed only slightly as substrates for the enzyme. In analyses of its hydrolytic action and kinetics, the enzyme showed narrow substrate specificity with respect to the aglycon and glycon moieties of the diglycoside. We conclude that the present enzyme is a kind of β-diglycosidase rather than β-primeverosidase.

- Novel reaction systems for the synthesis of O-glucosides by enzymatic reverse hydrolysis
-
Our studies are presented to replace alcohols as solvents in reverse hydrolytic reactions catalyzed by immobilized β-glucosidase to synthesize O-substituted β-D-glucopyranosides in preparative-scale. We found that 1,2-diacetoxyethane is a suitable solvent and O-alkyl or aryl β-D-glucosides were synthesized in moderate yields (after isolation 12-19%). In these reactions proportion of glucose and glucosyl acceptor hydroxy compounds was 1:20. We suggest that 1,2-diacetoxyethane can be useful not only for alcohols but for other glucosyl donor compounds unsuitable for the role of solvent (e.g., phenols) in the synthesis of O-β-D-glucosides by reverse hydrolysis.

- Solid-phase oligosaccharide and glycopeptide synthesis using glycosynthases
-
Enzymatic approaches for the preparation of oligosaccharides are interesting alternatives to traditional chemical synthesis, the main advantage being the regio- and stereoselectivity offered without the need for protecting groups. The use of solid-phase techniques offers easy workup procedures and the prospect of automatability. Here, we report the first application of glycosynthases to solid-phase oligosaccharide synthesis by use of the 51 kDa serine and glycine mutants of Agrobacterium sp. β-glucosidase, Abg E358S and E358G. Acceptors were linked to PEGA resin through a backbone amide linker (BAL), and using these mutated enzymes, a galactose moiety was transferred from a donor sugar, α-D-galactosyl fluoride, with high efficiency (>90%) together with excellent recovery of material. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that a resin-bound model glycopeptide was also an acceptor for the glycosynthase.

- Examination of the active sites of human salivary α-amylase (HSA)
-
The action pattern of human salivary amylase (HSA) was examined by utilising as model substrates 2-chloro-4-nitrophenyl (CNP) β-glycosides of maltooligosaccharides of dp 4-8 and some 4-nitrophenyl (NP) derivatives modified at the nonreducing end with a 4,6-O-benzylidene (Bnl) group. The product pattern and cleavage frequency were investigated by product analysis using HPLC. The results revealed that the binding region in HSA is longer than five subsites usually considered in the literature and suggested the presence of at least six subsites; four glycone binding sites (-4, -3, -2, -1) and two aglycone binding sites (+1, +2). In the ideal arrangement, the six subsites are filled by a glucosyl unit and the release of maltotetraose (G4) from the nonreducing end is dominant. The benzylidene group was also recognisable by subsites (-3) and (-4). The binding modes of the benzylidene derivatives indicated a favourable interaction between the Bnl group and subsite (-3) and an unfavourable one with subsite (-4). Thus, subsite (-4) must be more hydrophylic than hydrophobic. As compared with the action of porcine pancreatic α-amylase (PPA) on the same substrates, the results showed differences in the three-dimensional structure of active sites of HSA and PPA.

- Carbohydrate-carbohydrate interactions in water with glycophanes as model systems
-
The synthesis and conformational properties of glycophanes 2 and 3 (cyclodextrin-cyclophane hybrid receptors containing two maltose units linked by (4-hydroxymethyl) benzoic acid spacer) are described. The binding properties in water of these receptors with a series of 4-nitrophenyl glycosides with α- and β-configurations at the anomeric center have been studied using 1H NMR spectroscopy and molecular mechanics calculations. A comparison of these properties with those of glycophane 1 (an α,α-trehalose containing glycophane) and α-cyclodextrin (αCD) using the same glycosides shows the existence of a stabilizing contribution to the free energy of binding in the case of of glycophanes but not in the case of the αCD system. This contribution is due to carbohydrate-carbohydrate interactions between both host and guest lipophilic sugar surfaces. Glycophanes 1, 2, and 3 show similar α/β selectivity on binding the ligands, despite the great flexibility of 3 related to 1 and 2. Parallels are drawn between the thermodynamic behavior of these model systems and that proposed for sugar- protein interactions.
