- Synthesis and biological evaluation of 3β-O-neoglycosides of caudatin and its analogues as potential anticancer agents
-
In order to study the structure–activity relationship (SAR) of C21-steroidal glycosides toward human cancer cell lines and explore more potential anticancer agents, a series of 3β-O-neoglycosides of caudatin and its analogues were synthesized. The results revealed that most of peracetylated 3β-O-monoglycosides demonstrated moderate to significant antiproliferative activities against four human cancer cell lines (MCF-7, HCT-116, HeLa, and HepG2). Among them, 3β-O-(2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-β-L-glucopyranosyl)-caudatin (2k) exhibited the highest antiproliferative activity aganist HepG2 cells with an IC50 value of 3.11 μM. Mechanical studies showed that compound 2k induced both apoptosis and cell cycle arrest at S phase in a dose dependent manner. Overall, these present findings suggested that glycosylation is a promising scaffold to improve anticancer activity for naturally occurring C21-steroidal aglycones, and compound 2k represents a potential anticancer agent deserved further investigation.

- A silyl ether-protected building block forO-GlcNAcylated peptide synthesis to enable one-pot acidic deprotection
-
In this report, we introduce a novel building block for Fmoc/tBu solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) of β-linkedO-GlcNAcylated peptides. This building block carries acid labile silyl ether protecting groups, which are fully removed under TFA-mediated peptide cleavage conditions from the resin, thus requiring fewer synthetic steps and no intermediate purification as compared to other acid or base labile protecting group strategies.

- Synthesis of Asparagine Derivatives Harboring a Lewis X Type DC-SIGN Ligand and Evaluation of their Impact on Immunomodulation in Multiple Sclerosis
-
The protein myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) is a key component of myelin and an autoantigen in the disease multiple sclerosis (MS). Post-translational N-glycosylation of Asn31 of MOG seems to play a key role in modulating the immune response towards myelin. This is mediated by the interaction of Lewis-type glycan structures in the N-glycan of MOG with the DC-SIGN receptor on dendritic cells (DCs). Here, we report the synthesis of an unnatural Lewis X (LeX)-containing Fmoc-SPPS-compatible asparagine building block (SPPS=solid-phase peptide synthesis), as well as asparagine building blocks containing two LeX-derived oligosaccharides: LacNAc and Fucα1-3GlcNAc. These building blocks were used for the glycosylation of the immunodominant portion of MOG (MOG31-55) and analyzed with respect to their ability to bind to DC-SIGN in different biological setups, as well as their ability to inhibit the citrullination-induced aggregation of MOG31-55. Finally, a cytokine secretion assay was carried out on human monocyte-derived DCs, which showed the ability of the neoglycopeptide decorated with a single LeX to alter the balance of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, inducing a tolerogenic response.

- Protein S-Glyco-Modification through an Elimination-Addition Mechanism
-
Per-O-acetylated unnatural monosaccharides containing a bioorthogonal group have been widely used for metabolic glycan labeling (MGL) in live cells for two decades, but it is only recently that we discovered the existence of an artificial "S-glycosylation" between protein cysteines and per-O-acetylated sugars. While efforts are being made to avoid this nonspecific reaction in MGL, the reaction mechanism remains unknown. Here, we present a detailed mechanistic investigation, which unveils the "S-glycosylation" being an atypical glycosylation termed S-glyco-modification. In alkaline protein microenvironments, per-O-acetylated monosaccharides undergo base-promoted β-elimination to form thiol-reactive α,β-unsaturated aldehydes, which then react with cysteine residues via Michael addition. This S-glyco-modification produces 3-thiolated sugars in hemiacetal form, rather than typical glycosides. The elimination-addition mechanism guides us to develop 1,6-di-O-propionyl-N-azidoacetylgalactosamine (1,6-Pr2GalNAz) as an improved unnatural monosaccharide for MGL.

-
The practical synthesis of carbohydrate-based NHC-Rh complexes bearing C1 or C3 sterically differentiated positions, accessed by glycosylation or SNAr strategies, is reported. These catalysts exhibit pseudo-enantiomeric behaviour in the hydrosilylation of acetophenone. We show that steric bulk at C1 gives preference for (S)-phenyl-1-ethanol, while bulk at C3 leads to the (R)-enantiomer. These results represent the first example of pseudo-enantiomeric carbohydrate-based NHC ligands leading to enantiotopic discrimination.

- Monosaccharide Analogues of Anticancer Peptide R-Lycosin-I: Role of Monosaccharide Conjugation in Complexation and the Potential of Lung Cancer Targeting and Therapy
-
Glycoconjugation is a promising modification strategy for the optimization of peptide drugs. In this study, five different monosaccharide derivatives (7a-e) were covalently linked to the N-terminal of R-lycosin-I, which yielded five glycopeptides (8a-e). They demonstrated increased or reduced cytotoxicity depending on monosaccharide types, which might be explained by the changes of physicochemical properties. Among all synthesized glycopeptides, only 8a exhibited increased cytotoxicity (IC50 = 9.6 ± 0.3 μM) and selectivity (IC50 = 37.4 ± 5.9 μM). The glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) with high expression in cancer cells was approved to be involved in the cytotoxicity and selectivity enhancement of 8a. Furthermore, 8a but not R-lycosin-I inhibited tumor growth in the nude mice xenograft model without generating side effects intraperitoneally. Taken together, this study reveals the different monosaccharide roles in peptide modification and also provides an optimized anticancer peptide with high activity and selectivity, that is, 8a might be a promising lead for developing anticancer drugs.

Abstract: Conjugates of 3,4,6-tri-О-acetyl-N-acetylglucosamine and tetraacetyl glucopyranose with alkyl phosphates were synthesized. The dependence of their antibacterial and antituberculosis activities on the length of the alkyl substituent at the phosphate group was found. The conjugates with a decyl substituent exhibited in vitro the highest antituberculosis activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv (MIC 3?μg/mL) but the weakest effect towards Streptococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus (≤MIC 125 μg/mL). Vice versa, the conjugates with a cetyl substituent demonstrated the highest antibacterial activity in vitro towards S. aureus and B. cereus (MIC 16 μg/mL) but showed the lowest antituberculosis activity (MIC 12 μg/mL) among the compounds under study.

- Extra Sugar on Vancomycin: New Analogues for Combating Multidrug-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci
-
Lipophilic substitution on vancomycin is an effective strategy for the development of novel vancomycin analogues against drug-resistant bacteria by enhancing bacterial cell wall interactions. However, hydrophobic structures usually lead to long elimination half-life and accumulative toxicity; therefore, hydrophilic fragments were also introduced to the lipo-vancomycin to regulate their pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic properties. Here, we synthesized a series of new vancomycin analogues carrying various sugar moieties on the seventh-amino acid phenyl ring and lipophilic substitutions on vancosamine with extensive structure-activity relationship analysis. The optimal analogues indicated 128-1024-fold higher activity against methicillin-susceptible S. aureus, vancomycin-intermediate resistant S. aureus (VISA), and vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE) compared with that of vancomycin. In vivo pharmacokinetics studies demonstrated the effective regulation of extra sugar motifs, which shortened the half-life and addressed concerns of accumulative toxicity of lipo-vancomycin. This work presents an effective strategy for lipo-vancomycin derivative design by introducing extra sugars, which leads to better antibiotic-like properties of enhanced efficacy, optimal pharmacokinetics, and lower toxicity.

- UDP-GlcNAc Analogues as Inhibitors of O-GlcNAc Transferase (OGT): Spectroscopic, Computational, and Biological Studies
-
A series of glycomimetics of UDP-GlcNAc, in which the β-phosphate has been replaced by either an alkyl chain or a triazolyl ring and the sugar moiety has been replaced by a pyrrolidine ring, has been synthesized by the application of different click-chemistry procedures. Their affinities for human O-GlcNAc transferase (hOGT) have been evaluated and studied both spectroscopically and computationally. The binding epitopes of the best ligands have been determined in solution by means of saturation transfer difference (STD) NMR spectroscopy. Experimental, spectroscopic, and computational results are in agreement, pointing out the essential role of the binding of β-phosphate. We have found that the loss of interactions from the β-phosphate can be counterbalanced by the presence of hydrophobic groups at a pyrroline ring acting as a surrogate of the carbohydrate unit. Two of the prepared glycomimetics show inhibition at a micromolar level.

- Syntheses and anti-cancer activity of CO-releasing molecules with targeting galactose receptors
-
CO-releasing molecules (CORMs) containing cobalt have many bioactivities, but most of them do not dissolve in water and have no selectivity to tissue and organs. On the basis of the specific recognition of galactose or sialic acid by a receptor, a series of CORMs based on carbohydrates were synthesized and evaluated. The test results show that all the complexes displayed anticancer activity. Among them, the effects of the complexes of galactose (1), GalNAc (8) and sialic acid (10) were very distinct. Complex 1 displayed higher activity against HeLa, HePG2, MCF-7 and HT-29 cell proliferation than cis-platin (DDP), and its selectivity was far much better than DDP compared with normal cell W138. Furthermore, the uptakes of complexes 1, 8 and 10 by HePG2, HT-29, A549 and RAW264.7 cell lines were studied. The uptake ratio of each cell line for complex 1 was different, and the order of uptake ratio in the four cell lines was HePG2 > HT-29 > RAW264.7 > A549. The HePG2 cells absorbed complex 1 beyond 60% after incubation for 8 h, while A549 absorbed only 27.8%. For complex 8, the uptake trend was similar to that of complex 1 with it being absorbed by all the four cancer cells, but the uptake rate was lower. However, differently, complex 10 was absorbed heavily by macrophage RAW264.7, followed by HePG2; after 8 h incubation, the uptake ratio of RAW264.7 was over 50%. In addition, the mechanism of action was explored, and the results showed that the complexes inhibited cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase; complex 1 up-regulated the expression levels of caspase-3 and Bax, and down-regulated the Bcl-2 expression, giving rise to HePG2 cell apoptosis.

- A stereoselective and flexible synthesis to access both enantiomers of N-acetylgalactosamine and peracetylated N-acetylidosamine
-
Synthetic approaches towards N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) have been attracting considerable interest since this compound is known for its pivotal role in cell-cell interaction and receptor induced cell signaling. Herein, we present a synthetic route in which two of the four stereogenic centers present in the target compound are derived from enantiopure tartaric acid being selectively converted to epoxy alcohols. The key step is the Pd-catalyzed, stereo- and regioselective epoxide opening and subsequent nucleophilic substitution of an azide functionality. This approach enables the synthesis of the naturally D- and unnaturally L-configured GalNAc, as well as both enantiomers of the largely unknown N-acetylidosamine (IdoNAc).

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of chemical tools for the study of Dolichol Linked Oligosaccharide Diphosphatase (DLODP)

Citronellyl- and solanesyl-based dolichol linked oligosaccharide (DLO) analogs were synthesized and tested along with undecaprenyl compounds for their ability to inhibit the release of [3H]OSP from [3H]DLO by mammalian liver DLO diphosphatase activity. Solanesyl (C45) and undecaprenyl (C55) compounds were 50–500 fold more potent than their citronellyl (C10)-based counterparts, indicating that the alkyl chain length is important for activity. The relative potency of the compounds within the citronellyl series was different to that of the solanesyl series with citronellyl diphosphate being 2 and 3 fold more potent than citronellyl-PP-GlcNAc2and citronellyl-PP-GlcNAc, respectively; whereas solanesyl-PP-GlcNAc and solanesyl-PP-GlcNAc2were 4 and 8 fold more potent, respectively, than solanesyl diphosphate. Undecaprenyl-PP-GlcNAc and bacterial Lipid II were 8 fold more potent than undecaprenyl diphosphate at inhibiting the DLODP assay. Therefore, at least for the more hydrophobic compounds, diphosphodiesters are more potent inhibitors of the DLODP assay than diphosphomonoesters. These results suggest that DLO rather than dolichyl diphosphate might be a preferred substrate for the DLODP activity.

Dysprosium(III) trifluoromethanesulfonate-catalyzed per-O-acetylation and regioselective anomeric de-O-acetylation of carbohydrates can be tuned by adjusting the reaction medium. In this study, the per-O-acetylation of unprotected sugars by using a near-stoichiometric amount of acetic anhydride under solvent-free conditions resulted in the exclusive formation of acetylated saccharides as anomeric mixtures, whereas anomeric de-O-acetylation in methanol resulted in a moderate-to-excellent yield. Reactions with various unprotected monosaccharides or disaccharides followed by a semi-one-pot sequential conversion into the corresponding acetylated glycosyl hemiacetal also resulted in high yields. Furthermore, the obtained hemiacetals could be successfully transformed into trichloroimidates after Dy(OTf)3-catalyzed glycosylation.

In order to understand better the structure/function relationships of these enzymes and their evolution and to develop new robust evolved glycosidases, we undertook to convert a Family 1 thermostable β-glycosidase into an exo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase. This latter activity is totally absent in Family 1, while natural β-hexosaminidases belong to CAZy Families 3, 20 and 84. Using molecular modeling, we first showed that the docking of N-acetyl-d-glucosamine in the subsite -1 of the β-glycosidase from Thermus thermophilus (TtβGly) suggested several steric conflicts with active site amino-acids (N163, E338) induced by the N-acetyl group. Both N163A and N163D-E338G mutations induced significant N-acetylglucosaminidase activity in TtβGly. The double mutant N163D-E338G was also active on the bicyclic oxazoline substrate, suggesting that this mutated enzyme uses a catalytic mechanism involving a substrate-assisted catalysis with a noncovalent oxazoline intermediate, similar to the N-acetylglucosaminidases from Families 20 and 84. Furthermore, a very efficient trans-N-acetylglucosaminidase activity was observed when the double mutant was incubated in the presence of NAG-oxazoline as a donor and N-methyl-O-benzyl-N-(β-d-glucopyranosyl)-hydroxylamine as an acceptor. More generally, this work demonstrates that it is possible to exchange the specificities and catalytic mechanisms with minimal changes between phylogenetically distant protein structures.

- A novel D-glucosamine-derived pyridyltriazole@ palladium catalyst for solvent-free Mizoroki-Heck reactions and its application in the synthesis of Axitinib
-
A green method for the synthesis of a D-glucosamine-derived triazole@ palladium catalyst is described. The synthesized catalyst containing a 2-pyridyl-1,2,3-triazole ligand was prepared via a click route in high yields and was explored in Heck cross-coupling reactions between different aryl halides and olefins under solventfree conditions. The catalyst can be separated from the reaction mixture and reused at least six times with superior activity. In addition, using this protocol, the marketed drug Axitinib (antitumor) could be synthesized easily.

- Synthesis of NAG-thiazoline-derived inhibitors for β-N-acetyl-d-hexosaminidases
-
Abstract β-N-Acetyl-d-hexosaminidases are responsible for the metabolism of glycoconjugates in diverse physiological processes that are important targets for medicine and pesticide development. Fourteen new NAG-thiazoline derivatives were synthesized by cyclization and click reaction using d-glucosamine hydrochloride as the starting material. All the compounds created were characterized by NMR and HRMS spectra. A preliminary bioassay, using four enzymes from two β-N-acetyl-d-hexosaminidase families, showed that most of the compounds synthesized exhibit selective inhibition of GH84 β-N-acetyl-d-hexosaminidase. Among the compounds tested, compounds 5a (IC50=12.6 μM, hOGA) and 5e (IC50=12.5 μM, OfOGA) proved to be a highly selective and potent inhibitor.

- Synthesis of anti-inflammatory α-and β-linked acetamidopyranosides as inhibitors of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)
-
Abstract The low-molecular weight isopropyl 2-acetamido-α-glucoside 16 (C34) inhibits toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in enterocytes and macrophages in vitro, and reduces systemic inflammation in mouse models of endotoxemia and necrotizing enterocolitis. We used a copper(II)-mediated solvolysis of anomeric oxazolines and an acid-mediated conversion of β-glucosamine and β-galactosamine pentaacetates to generate analogs of 16 at the anomeric carbon and at C-4 of the pyranose ring. These compounds were evaluated for their influence on TLR4-mediated inflammatory signaling in cultured enterocytes and monocytes. Their efficacy was confirmed using a NF-kB-luciferase reporter mouse, thus establishing the first structure-activity relationship (SAR) study in this series and identifying the more efficacious isopropyl 2-acetamido-α-galactoside 17.

- Acyl transfer reactions of carbohydrates, alcohols, phenols, thiols and thiophenols under green reaction conditions
-
Acyl transfer reactions of various carbohydrates, alcohols, phenols, thiols and thiophenols were achieved at room temperature in high yields and catalytic efficiency in the presence of methane sulfonic acid, a green organic acid, under solvent-free conditions over short time periods. The method is mild enough to allow acid labile substituents such as isopropylidene acetals and trityl ethers on the reacting substrates to be left completely unaffected. Esterification of free mono- and dicarboxylic acids such as acetic acid, cinnamic acid, sialic acid and tartaric acid with alcohols such as menthol, ethanol, methanol or propylene glycol has also been achieved efficiently at room temperature. A comparative study of the method with the silica-sulfuric acid is also reported.

- 3-(Dimethylamino)-1-propylamine: A cheap and versatile reagent for removal of byproducts in carbohydrate chemistry
-
Inexpensive 3-(dimethylamino)-1-propylamine (DMAPA) was found to be effective in anomeric deacylation reactions giving 1-O deprotected sugars in high yield as precursors for the formation of imidate glycosyl donors. DMAPA was also found to be useful for removing excess reagents such as benzoyl chloride, tosyl chloride, and 2,2,2-trifluoro-N-phenylacetimidoyl chloride. The deacylation reaction could be conducted in moist THF and did not require chromatographic purification since an acidic wash was sufficient to remove excess reagent and the formed byproduct.

- I2/ionic liquid as a highly efficient catalyst for per-O-acetylation of sugar under microwave irradiation
-
A practical and highly efficient approach was developed to synthesize peracetylated sugar derivatives using a recyclable iodine/PEG400-based ionic liquid catalyst (I2/IL). The peracetylated sugars were readily obtained in a few minutes in excellent yields (90%-99%, 13 examples) on a multi-gram scale (50.0 mmol) by the reaction of sugar and acetic anhydride under microwave irradiation in the absence of a volatile organic solvent. The desired product was easily obtained by simple extraction with toluene from the reaction mixture, and I2/ILs can be readily recovered and reused at least six times without obvious loss in the yield. When the scale of the per-O-acetylation reaction was increased to 50.0 mmol, the desired product was still obtained in 90% yield after five recycles.

- Stereoselective Synthesis of Quercetin 3-O-Glycosides of 2-Amino-2-Deoxy-d-Glucose under Phase Transfer Catalytic Conditions
-
This article describes the stereoselective synthesis of quercetin 3-O-glycosides of 2-amino-2-deoxy-d-glucose. Efficient 1,2-trans-glycosylation of protected quercetin with N-acetyl-protected 2-amino-2-deoxy-d-glucose chloride was achieved under phase transfer catalytic conditions in a 0.15 M aqueous K2CO3/chloroform system using tetrabutylammonium bromide as the catalyst. On the contrary, glycosylation with the N-phthalimido-protected bromide donor under the same conditions was found to give predominantly 1,2-cis-glycoside product.

- Reconstituting poly(glycerol phosphate) wall teichoic acid biosynthesis in vitro using authentic substrates
-
Wall teichoic acids (WTAs) are phosphate-rich anionic polymers that constitute a substantial portion of the Gram-positive cell wall. Recent work has demonstrated the importance of WTAs in cell shape, virulence and antibiotic resistance. These findings highlight WTA biosynthetic enzymes as attractive targets for novel antimicrobial agents. Due to challenges involved in the isolation of natural substrates, in vitro studies of the recombinant enzymes have largely employed soluble substrate analogues. Herein we present a semisynthetic approach to obtain the authentic precursor for WTA biosynthesis, Lipid α, complete with its polyisoprenoid lipid moiety. We show that this material can be used to reconstitute the activities of four enzymes involved in poly(glycerol phosphate) WTA biosynthesis in a detergent micelle. This work enables the creation of chemically defined and realistic systems for the study of interfacial catalysis by WTA biosynthetic machinery, which could aid efforts to discover and develop novel agents against WTA biosynthesis.

- Order of reactivity of OH/NH groups of glucosamine hydrochloride and N -Acetyl glucosamine toward benzylation using NaH/BnBr in DMF
-
The order of reactivity of OH and NH groups of glucosamine hydrochloride (GlcNH2HCl) and N-acetyl glucosamine (GlcNAc) toward benzylation with NaH/BnBr in DMF was investigated. For GlcNH2.HCl, benzyl groups were introduced in the order of N-Bn > N-Bn2 > 1-O-Bn > 6-O-Bn > 4-O-Bn > 3-O-Bn; for GlcNAc, benzyl groups were introduced in the order of 1-O-Bn > 6-O-Bn > 4-O-Bn > 3-O-Bn > N-Bn. A range of partially benzylated 2-N,N′-dibenzyl glucopyranosides and GlcNAc derivatives were obtained in a single step. Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

- 2,3,4,6-tetra- O -acetyl-D-gluconic acid: Crystal structure and application in the synthesis of N -(D-gluconyl) derivatives of D-glucosamine
-
2,3,4,6-tetra-O-Acetyl-D-gluconic acid was synthesized and coupled with 1,3,4, 6-tetra-O-acetyl-2-amino-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranose and diosgenyl 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-amino-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranoside to afford N-gluconyl derivatives of diosgenyl 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranoside using the methods of solution-phase peptide synthesis. Both coupling reactions suffered from acetyl O→N migration, which caused the N-acetyl derivatives to be formed together with the N-(D-gluconyl) derivatives of D-glucosamine. Additionally, single-crystal X-ray diffraction and high-resolution NMR spectral data for 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-D-gluconic acid were analyzed to reveal that this acyclic carbohydrate has adopted the 2G- conformation instead of a typical zigzag conformation. The planarity and cis geometry of the acetoxyl groups are demonstrated.

- NOVEL TLR4 INHIBITORS FOR THE TREATMENT OF HUMAN INFECTIOUS AND INFLAMMATORY DISORDERS
-
The present invention relates to methods of treating infectious, inflammatory and post-traumatic disorders by administering various compounds newly discovered to have TLR4 inhibitory activity. In addition to methods of treatment, the present invention further provides for pharmaceutical compositions comprising said compounds, together with a suitable pharmaceutical carrier. Because TLR4 is the most upstream receptor in the pro-inflammatory LPS signaling cascade, treatments of the invention, which inhibit or antagonize TLR4 action, may avoid the pitfalls associated with other cytokine inhibitors that act further down the pathway and accordingly play a less specific (and perhaps non-critical) role.

- Specific features of phase transfer catalytic glycosylation of aromatic hydroxy acids
-
Reactions of peracetylated α-D-glucosaminyl chloride with isomeric hydroxybenzoic and 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acids in a solid phase transfer system of potassium carbonate-acetonitrile were studied. It was found that the nature of carboxylic acids, lipophilicity of the phase transfer catalyst, and reaction temperatures affected the reaction composition and product yields. The O-β-glycosyl esters of ortho-hydroxyaromatic acids were first found to form anomeric 1,2-cis derivatives in the presence of potassium carbonate. The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by 1H NMR spectroscopy. As was shown in vivo experiments, the analgesic activities of glycosyl esters of salicylic acid and peracetylated 2-carboxyphenylglucosaminide were comparable with that of aspirin.
