- Synthesis of malformin-A1, C, a glycan, and an aglycon analog: Potential scaffolds for targeted cancer therapy
-
Improvement in therapeutic efficacy while reducing chemotherapeutic side effects remains a vital objective in synthetic design for cancer treatment. In keeping with the ethos of therapeutic development and inspired by the Warburg effect for augmenting biological activities of the malformin family of cyclic-peptide natural products, specifically anti-tumor activity, a β-glucoside of malformin C has been designed and synthesized utilizing precise glycosylation and solution phase peptide synthesis. We optimized several glycosylation procedures utilizing different donors and acceptors. The overarching goal of this study was to ensure a targeted delivery of a glyco-malformin C analog through the coupling of D-glucose moiety; selective transport via glucose transporters (GLUTs) into tumor cells, followed by hydrolysis in the tumor microenvironment releasing the active malformin C a glycon analog. Furthermore, total synthesis of malformin C was carried out with overall improved strategies avoiding unwanted side reactions thus increasing easier purification. We also report on an improved solid phase peptide synthesis protocol for malformin A1.

- An alternative approach for the synthesis of sulfoquinovosyldiacylglycerol
-
Sulfoquinovosyldiacylglycerol (SQDG) is a glycolipid ubiquitously found in photosyn-thetically active organisms. It has attracted much attention in recent years due to its biological ac-tivities. Similarly, the increasing demand for vegan and functional foods has led to a growing interest in micronutrients such as sulfolipids and their physiological influence on human health. To study this influence, reference materials are needed for developing new analytical methods and providing enough material for model studies on the biological activity. However, the availability of these materials is limited by the difficulty to isolate and purify sulfolipids from natural sources and the unavailability of chemical standards on the market. Consequently, an alternative synthetic route for the comprehensive preparation of sulfolipids was established. Here, the synthesis of a sulfolipid with two identical saturated fatty acids is described exemplarily. The method opens possibilities for the preparation of a diverse range of interesting derivatives with different saturated and unsatu-rated fatty acids.

- Revealing Functional Significance of Interleukin-2 Glycoproteoforms Enabled by Expressed Serine Ligation
-
Naturally occurring interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a pleiotropic glycoprotein that regulates immune responses by controlling the differentiation and homeostasis of T cells. Non-glycosylated IL-2 has been used in clinical settings for three decades. However, the function of the O-glycan of native IL-2 remains elusive. Herein, to stress this issue, we report a highly efficient semi-synthesis of homogeneous glycosylated IL-2 with various glycoproteoforms on a multi-milligram scale. The glycopeptide fragment was prepared by chemical synthesis and then merged with recombinant fragment via a serine ligation to generate the desired glycoprotein in a single operation. Biological evaluation of the homogenous glycoprotein library reveals that the activity of IL-2 in activating individual T cell subset is glycan dependent, thus highlighting the possibility of further improving current clinical medicine.

- Rh2(II)-Catalyzed intermolecular N-Aryl aziridination of olefins using nonactivated N atom precursors
-
The development of the first intermolecular Rh2(II)-catalyzed aziridination of olefins using anilines as nonactivated N atom precursors and an iodine(III) reagent as the stoichiometric oxidant is reported. This reaction requires the transfer of an N-aryl nitrene fragment from the iminoiodinane intermediate to a Rh2(II) carboxylate catalyst; in the absence of a catalyst only diaryldiazene formation was observed. This N-aryl aziridination is general and can be successfully realized by using as little as 1 equiv of the olefin. Di-, tri-, and tetrasubstituted cyclic or acylic olefins can be employed as substrates, and a range of aniline and heteroarylamine N atom precursors are tolerated. The Rh2(II)-catalyzed N atom transfer to the olefin is stereospecific as well as chemo- and diastereoselective to produce the N-aryl aziridine as the only amination product. Because the chemistry of nonactivated N-aryl aziridines is underexplored, the reactivity of N-aryl aziridines was explored toward a range of nucleophiles to stereoselectively access privileged 1,2-stereodiads unavailable from epoxides, and removal of the N-2,4-dinitrophenyl group was demonstrated to show that functionalized primary amines can be constructed.

- Synthesis and cytotoxic property of annonaceous acetogenin glycoconjugates
-
Background: Annonaceous acetogenins (ACGs) are secondary metabolites produced by the Annonaceae family and display potent anticancer activity against various cancer cell lines. Squamocin and bullatacin are two examples of ACGs that show promising antitumor activity; however, preclinical data are not sufficient partly due to their being highly lipophilic and poorly soluble in water. These compounds also display high toxicity to normal cells. Due to these disadvantageous properties, the therapeutic potential of squamocin and bullatacin as antitumor agents has not been fully evaluated. Methods: In order to enhance their water solubility and potentially improve their cancer targeting, squamocin and bullatacin were conjugated to a glucose or galactose to yield glycosylated derivatives by direct glycosylation or the Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction (the click reaction). The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their anticancer property against HeLa, A549 and HepG2 cancer cell lines using MTT assay. Results: Nine glycosyl derivatives were synthesized and structurally characterized. Most of them show comparable in vitro cytotoxicity against HeLa, A549 and HepG2 cancer cell lines as their parent compounds squamocin and bullatacin. It appears that the type of sugar residue (glucose or galactose), the position at which the sugar residue is attached, and whether or not a linking spacer is present do not affect the potency of these derivatives much. The solubility of galactosylated squamocin 13 in phosphate buffer saline (PBS, pH = 7) is greatly improved (1.37 mg/mL) in comparison to squamocin (not detected in PBS). Conclusion: The conjugation of a glucose or galactose to squamocin and bullatacin yields glycosyl derivatives with similar level of anticancer activity in tested cell lines. Further studies are needed to demonstrate whether or not these compounds show reduced toxicity to normal cells and their therapeutic potential as antitumor agents.

- Glycosides and Glycoconjugates of the Diterpenoid Isosteviol with a 1,2,3-Triazolyl Moiety: Synthesis and Cytotoxicity Evaluation
-
Several glycoconjugates of the diterpenoid isosteviol (16-oxo-ent-beyeran-19-oic acid) with a 1,2,3-triazolyl moiety were synthesized, and their cytotoxicity was evaluated against some human cancer and normal cell lines. Most of the synthesized compounds demonstrated weak inhibitory activities against the M-HeLa and MCF-7 human cancer cell lines. Three lead compounds, 54, 56 and 57, exhibited high selective cytotoxic activity against M-HeLa cells (IC50 = 1.7-1.9 μM) that corresponded to the activity of the anticancer drug doxorubicin (IC50 = 3.0 μM). Moreover, the lead compounds were not cytotoxic with respect to a Chang liver human normal cell line (IC50 > 100 μM), whereas doxorubicin was cytotoxic to this cell line (IC50 = 3.0 μM). It was found that cytotoxic activity of the lead compounds is due to induction of apoptosis proceeding along the mitochondrial pathway. The present findings suggest that 1,2,3-triazolyl-ring-containing glycoconjugates of isosteviol are a promising scaffold for the design of novel anticancer agents.

- Synthesis of 13C-labelled sulfated N-acetyl-d-lactosamines to aid in the diagnosis of mucopolysaccharidosis diseases
-
Morquio A syndrome is an autosomal mucopolysaccharide storage disorder that leads to accumulation of keratan sulfate. Diagnosis of this disease can be aided by measuring the levels of keratan sulfate in the urine. This requires the liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LCMS/MS) measurement of sulfated N-acetyl-d-lactosamines in the urine after cleavage of the keratan sulfate with keratanase II. Quantification requires isotopically-labelled internal standards. The synthesis of these 13C6-labelled standards from 13C6-galactose and N-acetylglucosamine is described. The required protected disaccharide is prepared utilising a regioselective, high yielding β-galactosylation of a partially protected glucosamine acceptor and an inverse addition protocol. Subsequent synthesis of the 13C6-labelled mono and disulfated N-acetyllactosamines was achieved in five and eight steps, respectively, from this intermediate to provide internal standards for the LCMS/MS quantification of keratan sulfate in urine.

- Chemo-enzymatic synthesis of p-nitrophenyl β-D-galactofuranosyl disaccharides from Aspergillus sp. fungal-type galactomannan
-
β-D-Galactofuranose (Galf) is a component of polysaccharides and glycoconjugates. There are few reports about the involvement of galactofuranosyltransferases and galactofuranosidases (Galf-ases) in the synthesis and degradation of galactofuranose-containing glycans. The cell walls of filamentous fungi in the genus Aspergillus include galactofuranose-containing polysaccharides and glycoconjugates, such as O-glycans, N-glycans, and fungal-type galactomannan, which are important for cell wall integrity. In this study, we investigated the synthesis of p-nitrophenyl β-D-galactofuranoside and its disaccharides by chemo-enzymatic methods including use of galactosidase. The key step was selective removal of the concomitant pyranoside by enzymatic hydrolysis to purify p-nitrophenyl β-D-galactofuranoside, a promising substrate for β-D-galactofuranosidase from Streptomyces species.

- Strong Inhibition of Cholera Toxin B Subunit by Affordable, Polymer-Based Multivalent Inhibitors
-
Cholera is a potentially fatal bacterial infection that affects a large number of people in developing countries. It is caused by the cholera toxin (CT), an AB5 toxin secreted by Vibrio cholera. The toxin comprises a toxic A-subunit and a pentameric B-subunit that bind to the intestinal cell surface. Several monovalent and multivalent inhibitors of the toxin have been synthesized but are too complicated and expensive for practical use in developing countries. Meta-nitrophenyl α-galactoside (MNPG) is a known promising ligand for CT, and here mono- and multivalent compounds based on MNPG were synthesized. We present the synthesis of MNPG in greatly improved yields and its use while linked to a multivalent scaffold. We used economical polymers as multivalent scaffolds, namely, polyacrylamide, dextran, and hyperbranched polyglycerols (hPGs). Copper-catalyzed alkyne azide cycloaddition reaction (CuAAC) produced the inhibitors that were tested in an ELISA-type assay and an intestinal organoid swelling inhibition assay. The inhibitory properties varied widely depending on the type of polymer, and the most potent conjugates showed IC50 values in the nanomolar range.

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.

- Carbohydrate-naphthalene diimide conjugates as potential antiparasitic drugs: Synthesis, evaluation and structure-activity studies
-
The neglected tropical diseases Human African Trypanosomiasis and leishmaniasis are caused by infection with trypanosomatid parasites Trypanosoma brucei and Leishmania spp, respectively. The genomes of these organisms contain multiple putative G-quadruplex (G4) forming sequences which have recently been proposed to mediate processes relevant for parasite survival. Therefore, G4 could be considered as potential targets for a novel approach towards the development of antiparasitic drugs. Recently, we have demonstrated that G4 ligands such as carbohydrate naphthalene diimide conjugates (carb-NDIs) possess notable antiparasitic activity. Herein, we have synthesized a new family of carb-NDIs, characterized by significant structural variability, and evaluated their anti-parasitic activity, with special focus on T. brucei. The interaction with relevant G4 sequences was evaluated in vitro through independent biophysical methods (FRET melting assays under competing conditions with double stranded DNA, circular dichroism and fluorescence titrations). Finally, flow cytometry and confocal microscopy experiments demonstrated that the conjugates exhibit excellent uptake into T. brucei parasites, localizing in the nuclei and kinetoplasts. Promising antiparasitic activity and selectivity against control mammalian cells, together with their peculiar mechanism of action, render the carb-NDI conjugates as suitable candidates for the development of an innovative treatment of trypanosomiasis.

- Development of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Lectin LecA Inhibitor by using Bivalent Galactosides Supported on Polyproline Peptide Scaffolds
-
LecA is a galactose-binding tetrameric lectin from Pseudomonas aeruginosa involved in infection and biofilm formation. The emergent antibiotic resistance of P. aeruginosa has made LecA a promising pharmaceutical target to treat such infections. To develop LecA inhibitors, we exploit the unique helical structure of polyproline peptides to create a scaffold that controls the galactoside positions to fit their binding sites on LecA. With a modular scaffold design, both the galactoside ligands and the inter-ligand distance can be altered conveniently. We prepared scaffolds with spacings of 9, 18, 27, and 36 ? for ligand conjugation and found that glycopeptides with galactosides ligands three helical turns (27 ?) apart best fit LecA. In addition, we tested different galactose derivatives on the selected scaffold (27 ?) to improve the binding avidity to LecA. The results validate a new multivalent scaffold design and provide useful information for LecA inhibitor development.

- Semi-synthesis and insecticidal activity of spinetoram J and its D-forosamine replacement analogues
-
Spinetoram, a mixture of spinetoram J (XDE-175-J, major component) and spinetoram L (XDE-175-L), is a new kind of fermentation-derived insecticide with a broad range of action against many insect pests, especially Cydia pomonella, Leaf miner and Thrips. Similar to spinosad, spinetoram is friendly to the environment, and non-toxic to animals and human beings. Therefore, spinetoram has been widely applied in pest control and grain storage. In a previous study, we had reported a semi-synthesis of spinetoram J. However, in that synthesis, there were more experimental steps, and the operations were troublesome. So an improved synthesis based on a self-protection strategy was designed and discussed. In this work, 3-O-ethyl-2,4-di-O-methylrhamnose was used as both the reaction substrate of C9–OH and the protecting group of C17–OH. The number of synthetic steps and costs were significantly reduced. In addition, a variety of D-forosamine replacement analogues of spinetoram J were synthesized based on the improved semi-synthesis, and their insecticidal activities were evaluated against third-instar larvae of Plutella xylostella. Although none of the analogues were as potent as spinetoram, a few of the analogues have only a 20–40 times lower activity than spinetoram. In particular, one of these analogues was approximately as active as spinosad. This study highlights the possibility of developing new insecticidal chemistries by replacing sugars on natural products with other groups, and the improved semi-synthesis will be helpful for further researches on spinetoram.

- Incorporation of 'click' chemistry glycomimetics dramatically alters triple-helix stability in an adiponectin model peptide
-
Adiponectin (Adpn) has been shown to be a possible therapeutic for Type II diabetes, however the production of a therapeutic version of Adpn has proved to be challenging. Biological studies have highlighted the importance of the glycosylated lysine residues for the formation of bioactive high molecular weight oligomers of Adpn. Through the use of 'click' glycopeptide mimetics, we investigated the role of glycosylated lysine and serine residues for the formation of triple helical structures of the collagenous domain of Adpn, in the context of a collagen model peptide scaffold. The physical properties of the unglycosylated lysine and serine peptides are compared with their glycosylated analogues. Our results highlight the crucial role of lysine residues for formation of the triple helical structure of Adpn, possibly due to the extension of both intra- and interstrand hydrogen bonding networks. Strikingly, we observed a significant decrease in thermal stability upon incorporation of triazole-linked analogues of glycosylated lysine residues into the adiponectin collageneous domain, indicating possible uses of 'click' glycomimetics for bioengineering applications.

-
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.

Moreover, lactulose is used in pharmaceuticals as a gentle laxative and to treat hyperammonemia. This study was aimed at the total synthesis of two Lactulose-derived oligosaccharides: one is 3-O-β-d-galactopyranosyl-d-fructose, d-fructose and β-d-galactose bounded together with β-1,3-glycosidic bound, the other is 1-O-β-d-galactopyranosyl-d-fructose, d-fructose and β-d-galactose bounded together with β-1,1-glycosidic bound, which were accomplished in seven steps from d-fructose and β-d-galactose and every step of yield above 75%. This synthetic route provided a practical and effective synthetic strategy for galactooligosaccharides, starting from commercially available monosaccharides. Then we evaluated on their prebiotic properties in the search for potential agents of regulating and improving the intestinal flora of human. The result showed that the prebiotic properties of Lactulose-derived oligosaccharides was much better than Lactulose. Among them, 3-O-β-d-galactopyranosyl-d-fructose displayed the most potent activity of proliferation of L. acidophilus.

- Synthesis and Properties of Alkyl β-d-Galactopyranoside
-
A series of alkyl β-d-galactopyranosides were prepared by the trichloroacetimidate method with d-galactose and alcohols with different chain lengths as raw materials. Their solubility, surface tension, emulsification, foaming, wettability, thermotropic liquid crystalline properties, and thermal stability were investigated. Alkyl β-d-galactopyranosides are soluble in water and ethanol, and the solubility decreases with increasing alkyl chain length. Decyl β-d-galactopyranoside was insoluble in water, but soluble in ethanol. Dissolution of alkyl β-d-galactopyranoside in water is an endothermic process with dissolution enthalpies greater than zero. Nonyl β-d-galactopyranoside had an excellent emulsifying?property, better foaming ability and the best foam stability. The CMC values of alkyl β-d-galactopyranosides decrease with increasing of alkyl chain length. Alkyl β-d-galactopyranosides are thermally stable up to 270?°C. Alkyl β-d-galactopyranosides show the distinctive optical texture of a thermotropic liquid crystal smectic A type phase. Decyl β-d-galactopyranoside showed the strongest wettability.

- Novel galactosylated poly(ethylene glycol)-cholesterol for liposomes as a drug carrier for hepatocyte-targeting
-
In this study, three types of galactosylated cholesterol (i.e., gal-PEG194-chol, gal-PEG1000-chol and gal-PEG2000-chol) were synthesized with one terminal of polyethylene glycol of various chain lengths conjugated to the galactoside moiety, and the other terminal conjugated to the cholesterol. The galactose-modified liposomes were prepared by thin film-hydration method and doxorubicin (DOX) was loaded to the liposomes by using a ammonium sulfate gradient procedure. The liposomal formulations with galactosylated cholesterol were characterized. Flow cytometry and laser confocal scanning microscopy analyses showed that the galactose-modified liposomes facilitated the intracellular uptake of liposomes into HepG2 via asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGP-R) mediated endocytosis. Cytotoxicity assay showed that the cell proliferation inhibition effect of galactosemodified liposomes was higher than that of the unmodified liposomes. Additionally, the study on frozen section of liver showed that the galactose-modified liposomes enhanced the intracellular uptake of liposomes into hepatocytes. Taken together, these results suggested that liposomes containing such galactosylated cholesterol (i.e., gal-PEG-chol), had a great potential as drug delivery carriers for hepatocyte-selective targeting.

- Antibacterial drug leads: DNA and enzyme multitargeting
-
We report the results of an investigation of the activity of a series of amidine and bisamidine compounds against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The most active compounds bound to an AT-rich DNA dodecamer (CGCGAATTCGCG)2 and using DSC were found to increase the melting transition by up to 24 °C. Several compounds also inhibited undecaprenyl diphosphate synthase (UPPS) with IC50 values of 100-500 nM, and we found good correlations (R2 = 0.89, S. aureus; R2 = 0.79, E. coli) between experimental and predicted cell growth inhibition by using DNA δTm and UPPS IC50 experimental results together with one computed descriptor. We also solved the structures of three bisamidines binding to DNA as well as three UPPS structures. Overall, the results are of general interest in the context of the development of resistance-resistant antibiotics that involve multitargeting.

- Synthesis of oligomeric mannosides and their structure-binding relationship with concanavalin A
-
Small glycodendrimers with α-mannosyl ligands were synthesized by using copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne coupling chemistry and some of these molecules were used as multivalent ligands to study the induction of concanavalin A (Con A) precipitation. The results showed that the monovalent mannose ligand could induce the precipitation of Con A. This unexpected finding initiated a series of studies to characterize the molecular basis of the ligand-lectin interaction. The atypical precipitation is found to be specific to the mannose, fluorescein moiety (FITC), and Con A. Apparently the mannose ligand binds to Con A through hydrogen-bonding interactions, whereas the binding of FITC is mediated by hydrophobic forces. Being precipitate: A series of glycodendrimers with α-mannosyl ligands were prepared and used to explore the precipitation of concanavalin A (Con A). Surprisingly, the monovalent mannose ligand induced Con A precipitation, which led to an investigation of the molecular basis of the ligand-lectin interaction (see figure).

- Structurally diverse disaccharide analogs of antifreeze glycoproteins and their ability to inhibit ice recrystallization
-
The β-D-galactosyl-(1,3)-α-N-acetyl-D-galactosamine disaccharide is present in antifreeze glycoproteins (AFGPs). Analogs of this disaccharide including the β-linked (1,3)-, (1,4)-, and (1,6)-galactosyl-N-acetyl galactosamine and the β-(1,3)-galactosyl-galactoside were synthesized and evaluated for ice recrystallization inhibition (IRI) activity. The results from this study demonstrate that the b-linked-(1,4) disaccharide exhibits more potent IRI activity than the native b-linked-(1,3) disaccharide. The C2 N-acetyl group of the disaccharide does not affect IRI activity but in monosaccharides, the presence of the C2 N-acetyl group decreases IRI activity. The current study will facilitate the design of potent small-molecule ice recrystallization inhibitors.

- Synthesis of an isotopically-labelled antarctic fish antifreeze glycoprotein probe
-
Antifreeze glycoproteins (AFGPs) are glycosylated polypeptides produced by Antarctic and Arctic fishes, which allow them to survive in seawater at sub-zero temperatures. An investigation into the postulated enteric uptake of AFGP synthesized in the exocrine pancreas of Antarctic fishes required a custom-prepared AFGP probe that incorporated seven isotopically-labelled Ala residues for detection by mass spectrometry. The AFGPs are composed of a repetitive three amino acid unit (Ala-Ala-Thr), in which the threonine residue is glycosylated with the disaccharide β-d-Gal-(1→3) α-d-GalNAc. The synthesis of isotopically-labelled AFGP8 (1), as well as the optimized synthesis of the protected glycosylated amino acid building block 2, is reported.

- Multifunctional surface modification of gold-stabilized nanoparticles by bioorthogonal reactions
-
Nanocarriers that combine multiple properties in an all-in-one system hold great promise for drug delivery. The absence of technology to assemble highly functionalized devices has, however, hindered progress in nanomedicine. To address this deficiency, we have chemically synthesized poly(ethylene oxide)-β-poly(ε-caprolactone) (PEO-b-PCL) block polymers modified at the apolar PCL terminus with thioctic acid and at the polar PEO terminus with an acylhydrazide, amine, or azide moiety. The resulting block polymers were employed to prepare nanoparticles that have a gold core, an apolar polyester layer for drug loading, a polar PEO corona to provide biocompatibility, and three different types of surface reactive groups for surface functionalization. The acylhydrazide, amine, or azide moieties of the resulting nanoparticles could be reacted with high efficiencies with modules having a ketone, isocyanate, or active ester and alkyne function, respectively. To demonstrate proof of principle of the potential of multisurface functionalization, we prepared nanoparticles that have various combinations of an oligo-arginine peptide to facilitate cellular uptake, a histidine-rich peptide to escape from lysosomes, and an Alexa Fluor 488 tag for imaging purposes. It has been shown that uptake and subcellular localization of the nanoparticles can be controlled by multisurface modification. It is to be expected that the modular synthetic methodology provides unique opportunities to establish optimal configurations of nanocarriers for disease-specific drug delivery.
