- Synthesis of nature product kinsenoside analogues with anti-inflammatory activity
-
Kinsenoside is the major bioactive component from herbal medicine with a broad range of pharmacological functions. Goodyeroside A, an epimer of kinsenoside, remains less explored. In this report we chemically synthesized kinsenoside, goodyeroside A and their analogues with glycan variation, chirality inversion at chiral center(s), and bioisosteric replacement of lactone with lactam. Among these compounds, goodyeroside A and its mannosyl counterpart demonstrated superior anti-inflammatory efficacy. Furthermore, goodyeroside A was found to suppresses inflammatory through inhibiting NF-κB signal pathway, effectively. Structure-activity relationship is also explored for further development of more promising kinsenoside analogues as drug candidates.

- Self-Promoted Glycosylation for the Synthesis of β-N-Glycosyl Sulfonyl Amides
-
N-Glycosyl N-sulfonyl amides have been synthesized by a self-promoted glycosylation, i. e. without any catalysts, promotors or additives. When the reactions were carried out at lower temperatures a mixture of N- and O-glycosides were observed, where the latter rearranged to give the β-N-glycosides at elevated temperatures. By this method sulfonylated asparagine derivatives can be selectively β-glycosylated in high yields by trichloroacetimidate glycosyl donors of different reactivity including protected glucosamine derivatives. The chemoselectivity in the glycosylations as well as the rearrangements from O-glycosides to β-N-glycosides gives information of the glycosylation mechanism. This method gives access to glycosyl sulfonyl amides under mild conditions.

- Self-promoted and stereospecific formation of N-glycosides
-
A stereoselective and self-promoted glycosylation for the synthesis of various N-glycosides and glycosyl sulfonamides from trichloroacetimidates is presented. No additional catalysts or promoters are needed in what is essentially a two-component reaction. When α-glucosyl trichloroacetimidates are employed, the reaction resulted in the stereospecific formation of the corresponding β-N-glucosides in high yields at ambient conditions. On the other hand, when equatorial glucosyl donors were used, the stereospecificity decreased and resulted in a mixture of anomers. By NMR-studies, it was concluded that this decrease in stereospecificity was due to an, until now, unpresented anomerization of the trichloroacetimidate under the very mildly acidic conditions. The mechanism and kinetics of the glycosylations have been studied by NMR-experiments, which gave an insight into the activation of trichloroacetimidates, suggesting an SNi-like mechanism involving ion pairs. The scope of glycosyl donors and sulfonamides was found to be very broad including popular N-protective groups and common glycosyl donors of various reactivity. Peracetylated GlcNAc trichloroacetimidate could be used without the need for any promotors or additives and a tyrosine side chain was glycosylated as an N-glycosyl carbamate. The N-carbamates and the N-sulfonyl groups functioned as orthogonal protective groups of the N-glycoside and hence allowed further N-functionalization without risking mutarotation of the N-glycoside. The N-glycosylation was also performed on a gram scale, without a drop in stereoselectivity nor yield.

- A Simple Method for the Preparation of Stainless and Highly Pure Trichloroacetimidates
-
We describe a method for obtaining various allylic, benzylic, and glucosyl 2,2,2-trichloroacetimidates (TCAIs) as stainless liquids or solids at the crude stage. The general synthetic method for the preparation of TCAIs often leads to stained products, and further purification of crude TCAIs causes decomposition due to their instability. In the described method, we use a solvent that barely dissolves the reactant, providing stainless and sufficiently pure TCAIs without requiring a purification step. Furthermore, the reaction mixture is turbid at the beginning and clear at the end, allowing us to monitor the progress of the reaction visually.

- An Empirical Understanding of the Glycosylation Reaction
-
Reliable glycosylation reactions that allow for the stereo- and regioselective installation of glycosidic linkages are paramount to the chemical synthesis of glycan chains. The stereoselectivity of glycosylations is exceedingly difficult to control due to the reaction's high degree of sensitivity and its shifting, simultaneous mechanistic pathways that are controlled by variables of unknown degree of influence, dominance, or interdependency. An automated platform was devised to quickly, reproducibly, and systematically screen glycosylations and thereby address this fundamental problem. Thirteen variables were investigated in as isolated a manner as possible, to identify and quantify inherent preferences of electrophilic glycosylating agents (glycosyl donors) and nucleophiles (glycosyl acceptors). Ways to enhance, suppress, or even override these preferences using judicious environmental conditions were discovered. Glycosylations involving two specific partners can be tuned to produce either 11:1 selectivity of one stereoisomer or 9:1 of the other by merely changing the reaction conditions.

- Exploring glycosylation reactions under continuous-flow conditions
-
The industrial development of carbohydrate-based drugs is greatly thwarted by the typical challenges inherent in oligosaccharide synthesis. The practical advantages of continuous-flow synthesis in microreactors (high reproducibility, easy scalability, and fast reaction optimization) may offer an effective support to make carbohydrates more attractive targets for drug-discovery processes. Here we report a systematic exploration of the glycosylation reaction carried out under microfluidic conditions. Trichloroacetimidates and thioglycosides have been investigated as glycosyl donors, using both primary and secondary acceptors. Each microfluidic glycosylation has been compared with the corresponding batch reaction, in order to highlight advantages and drawbacks of microreactors technology. As a significant example of multistep continuous-flow synthesis, we also describe the preparation of a trisaccharide by means of two consecutive glycosylations performed in interconnected microreactors.

- Combined Lewis acid and Br?nsted acid-mediated reactivity of glycosyl trichloroacetimidate donors
-
Biomimetic conditions for a synthetic glycosylation reaction, inspired by the highly conserved functionality of carbohydrate active enzymes, were explored. At the outset, we sought to generate proof of principle for this approach to developing catalytic systems for glycosylation. However, control reactions and subsequent kinetic studies showed that a stoichiometric, irreversible reaction of the catalyst and glycosyl donor was occurring, with a remarkable rate variance depending upon the structure of the carboxylic acid. It was subsequently found that a combination of Br?nsted acid (carboxylic acid) and Lewis acid (MgBr2) was unique in catalyzing the desired glycosylation reaction. Thus, it was concluded that the two acids act synergistically to catalyze the desired transformation. The role of the catalytic components was tested with a number of control reactions and based on these studies a mechanism is proposed herein.

- Efficient α-mannosylation of phenols: The role of carbamates as scavengers for activated glycosyl donors
-
The boron trifluoride activation of trichloroacetimidate donors was found to be an efficient method for the α-mannosylation of tyrosine-containing acceptors. Most notably, these conditions are compatible with the commonly used carbamate protecting groups, whereas trichloroacetimidate activation with trimethylsilyl triflate or the use of glycosyl sulfoxides led to diminished yields in the presence of carbamates. In these cases, the competing reaction of the activated donors with the carbamate group was identified as a problematic side reaction. Taking advantage of this reactivity, various glycosyl carbamates were generated for the first time under non-acidic glycosylation conditions by reaction of different Boc-protected amino acids and dipeptides with glycosyl sulfoxides under triflic anhydride activation.

Validation of the 2-fluoro substituent as an inert steering group to control chemical glycosylation is presented. A molecular editing study has revealed that the exceptional levels of diastereocontrol in glycosylation processes by using 2-fluoro-3,4,6-tri-O-benzyl glucopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate (TCA) scaffolds are a consequence of the 2R,3S,4S stereotriad. This study has also revealed that epimerization at C4, results in a substantial enhancement in β-selectivity (up to β/α 300:1). Copyright

- Monosaccharidic mimetics of the sialyl LewisX tetrasaccharide based on 2,7-dihydroxynaphthalene

A potential monosaccharidic mimetic of the sialyl LewisX tetrasaccharide (sLeX) was identified based on an in silico docking study using the crystal structure of an E-selectin-sLeX complex. The chemical synthesis of the mimetic in an ortho-selective C-glycosylation is described. This compound and two close analogues were evaluated in a cell-based selectin binding assay where none of the tested mimetics showed an IC 50 below 1mM. This result can be explained by an unexpected 1C4 conformation of the mannosyl residue which precludes the required binding of the Ca2+-ion in E-selectin.

- A novel synthesis of α-D-Galp-(1→3)-β-D-Galp-1-Ο-(CH2) 3-NH2, its linkage to activated matrices and absorption of anti-αGal xenoantibodies by affinity columns
-
Pig organs transplanted into primates are rapidly rejected because of the interaction between Galα(1→3)Gal epitopes carried by the graft and natural antibodies (anti-αGal antibodies) present in the blood of the recipient. This report describes a simplified synthesis of the xenogeneic disaccharide and its linkage to activated gel matrices. The digalactosides α-D-Galp-(1→3)-α,β-D-Galp-Galp were synthesized by the condensation of the trichloroacetimidoyl 2,3,4,6-tetra-Ο-benzyl-β-D-galactopyranoside donor with the 3,4-unprotected allyl 2,6-di-Ο-benzyl-α- or β-D-galactopyranoside acceptor precursor. Deallylation and hydrogenolysis led to the free digalactoside, whereas hydrogenolysis alone resulted in the 1-Ο-propyl digalactoside. Both products were tested by inhibition ELISA of natural anti-Gala(1→3)Gal antibodies. The α-D-Galp-(1→3)-β-D-Galp-OPr was found to be the best inhibitor. Thus, the allyl group of the partially benzylated α-D-Galp-(1→3)-β-D-Galp-OAll was engineered, via the hydroxy-, the tosyloxy- and the azidopropyl intermediates, into an aminopropyl group amenable to binding to N-hydroxysuccinimide-activated agarose gel matrices in order to obtain specific immunoabsorption columns. Columns made of gel substituted with 5 μmol of disaccharide per milliliter were found efficient for the immunoabsorption of anti-αGal antibodies from human plasma.

1-O-Unsubstituted aldoses afford with halogen-activated nitriles under base catalysis directly O-α- and O-β-glycosyl imidates which can be isolated as stable compounds.Investigations with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl- and -acetylglucose (1a, b), trichloroacetonitrile and trifluoroacetonitrile and NaH and K2CO3, respectively, as base have demonstrated, that the β-glucopyranosyl-1-oxido oxygen atom is more nucleophilic (rapid formation of 3a-β, 3b-β, 4a-β, and 4b-β) than the α-glycopyranosyl-1-oxido oxygen atom.Because of the reversibility of these reactions, however,due to the anomeric effect finally the thermodynamically more stable α-imidates 3a-α, 3b-α, 4a-α, and 4b-α are formed exclusively.Therefore O-α- and O-β-glycosyl imidate formation can be conducted highly diastereoselectively. - From trichloroacetonitrile and other 1-O-unsubstituted carbohydrates the imidates 7-α - 13-β were obtained as stable compounds. - Less activated nitriles (chloroacetonitrile, dichloroacetonitrile) have proven not or not so successful in the direct O-glycosyl imidate formation. - N-Aryl ketenimines yielded cleanly base-catalyzed direct O-glycosyl imidate formation.However, because of the irreversibility of this reaction under the reaction conditions only kinetic product formation was observed (leading to the β-imidates 14a-β - 14d-β and 15d-β.Similarly 1-O-unprotected mannose gave only the β-product 16d-β.
