- Glucose-based spiro-oxathiazoles as: In vivo anti-hyperglycemic agents through glycogen phosphorylase inhibition
-
The design of glycogen phosphorylase (GP) inhibitors targeting the catalytic site of the enzyme is a promising strategy for a better control of hyperglycaemia in the context of type 2 diabetes. Glucopyranosylidene-spiro-heterocycles have been demonstrated as potent GP inhibitors, and more specifically spiro-oxathiazoles. A new synthetic route has now been elaborated through 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of an aryl nitrile oxide to a glucono-thionolactone affording in one step the spiro-oxathiazole moiety. The thionolactone was obtained from the thermal rearrangement of a thiosulfinate precursor according to Fairbanks' protocols, although with a revisited outcome and also rationalised with DFT calculations. The 2-naphthyl substituted glucose-based spiro-oxathiazole 5h, identified as one of the most potent GP inhibitors (Ki = 160 nM against RMGPb) could be produced on the gram-scale from this strategy. Further evaluation in vitro using rat and human hepatocytes demonstrated that compound 5h is a anti-hyperglycaemic drug candidates performing slightly better than DAB used as a positive control. Investigation in Zucker fa/fa rat model in acute and subchronic assays further confirmed the potency of compound 5h since it lowered blood glucose levels by ~36% at 30 mg kg-1 and ~43% at 60 mg kg-1. The present study is one of the few in vivo investigations for glucose-based GP inhibitors and provides data in animal models for such drug candidates.

- Selective S-deacetylation inspired by native chemical ligation: practical syntheses of glycosyl thiols and drug mercapto-analogues
-
Glycosyl thiols are useful building blocks for the construction of compounds of biological and synthetic importance. Herein, we report a practical synthetic approach toward the efficient synthesis of glycosyl thiols via chemo- and regioselective S-deacetylation inspired by native chemical ligation. This strategy allows the large scale synthesis of glycosyl thiols by simple purification steps without column chromatography. In addition, deacetylation reagents (DTT) could also be recovered and regenerated by a simple process. Thiol containing taxol and artemisinin analogues were successfully prepared based on this methodology. Finally, auranofin, a glucose-based oral drug used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, was synthesized in concise steps and overall high yields.

- Simple synthesis of glycosylthiols and thioglycosides by rearrangement of O-glycosyl thionocarbamates
-
The synthesis of thioglycosides has been achieved in a high yielding process employing thionocarbamates prepared from protected reducing sugars and N-alkyl isothiocyanate in the presence of a non-nucleophilic base (K 2CO3). In the key step of the synthesis, thionocarbamates were treated with Lewis acid (TMSOTf) to give O,S-rearrangement products that were applied to the synthesis of both anomers of heteroaryl thioglycosides.

- Stereoselective synthesis of β-glycosyl thiols and their synthetic applications
-
A significantly fast reaction condition for the exclusive preparation β-glycosyl thiol derivatives has been developed successfully. The reaction condition is one-step, fast, high yielding, highly stereoselective, and requires only benchtop chemicals. Further reaction of glycosyl thiol derivatives with Michael acceptors and alkylating agents furnished thioglycosides and (1,1)-thiolinked trehalose analogs.

- From disulfide- to thioether-linked glycoproteins
-
(Chemical Presented) Strengthening the bond: The introduction of a thiol tag in combination with chemoselective ligation to form a disulfide-linked bioconjugate is a selective and useful method for site-selective protein glycosylation. The phosphine-mediated desulfurization of such glycoconjugates to their reductant-resistant thioether-linked counterparts completes a convergent, site-selective synthesis of thioether-linked glycoproteins (see scheme).

-
(Figure Presented) Sweet and easy: A one-pot method consisting of direct thionation (1) followed by thiol-mediated chemoselective ligation (2) can be used for site-selective protein glycosylation. This procedure, which uses the Lawesson reagent, has been shown to be fully compatible with unprotected sugars, the products of which can be directly used in a selenenylsulfide protein glycosylation strategy.

- Glycosyl disulfides: Novel glycosylating reagents with flexible aglycon alteration
-
Glycosyl disulfides have been shown for the first time to be effective glycosyl donors. Glucosylation and galactosylation of a panel of representative alcohol acceptors allowed the formation of 28 simple glycosides, disaccharides, and glycoamino acids in yields of up to 90%. As well as providing a novel class of effective glycosyl donors, the ability to easily alter the nature of the aglycon and the ability to differently activate donors that differ only in their aglycon simply through altering conditions lends glycosyl disulfide donors to their use in latent-active reactivity tuning strategies.

- 2-Haloethyl 1-thioglycosides as new tools in glycoside syntheses. Part 1: Preparation, characteristics, general reactions
-
2-Haloethyl 1-thioglycosides are excellent leaving groups when the 2-haloethyl function is activated with silver salts or Lewis acids. These thioglycosides can be synthesized on the original Cerny route or for better compatibility with the needs of a more complex glycoside synthesis, in stepwise procedures via 2-(2-tetrahydropyran-2-yloxy)ethyl glycosides or trityl 1-thioglycosides. The initial step in glycosidation reaction presumably proceeds via a thiiranium ion, which is responsible for their increased reactivity compared with normal thioethers as leaving groups in glycoside syntheses. Basic features of this new system with respect to reactivity and selectivity in disaccharide syntheses are described.

- Synthesis of Thio-Linked Disaccharides by 1→2 Intramolecular Thioglycosyl Migration: Oxacarbenium versus Episulfonium Ion Intermediates
-
The conversion of 1,1′-thio-linked glucopyranosyl α-D-mannopyranosides to 1,2-thio-linked methyl sophorosides or methyl kojibiosides is described. The method involves the 1→2-migration of the thioglucopyranosyl portion of the nonreducing disaccharide with inversion of configuration at C-2 of the mannopyranose ring and concomitant formation of the methyl glucopyranoside. The thioglucosyl migration does not occur when electron-withdrawing benzoate protecting groups are present. The rearrangement occurs with retention of configuration in the migrating thioglucoside but the methyl glycoside is formed as a mixture of α- and β-isomers. This is attributed to a mechanism involving an oxacarbenium-ion intermediate rather than an episulfonium-ion intermediate. The relevance of this work to recent theoretical predictions concerning the relative stability of such intermediates is discussed.
