First, total synthesis of the cell surface phospholipomannan anchor [β-Manp-(1 → 2)-β-Manp]n-(1 → 2)-β-Manp-(1 → 2)-α-Manp-1 → P-(O → 6)-α-Manp-(1 → 2)-Inositol-1-P-(O → 1)-phytoceramide of Candida albicans is reported. The target phospholipomannan (PLM) anchor poses synthetic challenges such as the unusual kinetically controlled (1 → 2)-β-oligomannan domain, anomeric phosphodiester, and unique phytoceramide lipid tail linked to the glycan through a phosphate group. The synthesis of PLM anchor was accomplished using a convergent block synthetic approach using three main appropriately protected building blocks: (1 → 2)-β-tetramannan repeats, pseudodisaccharide, and phytoceramide-1-H-phosphonate. The most challenging (1 → 2)-β-tetramannan domain was synthesized in one pot using the preactivation method. The phytoceramide-1-H-phosphonate was synthesized through an enantioselective A3 three-component coupling reaction. Finally, the phytoceramide-1-H-phosphonate moiety was coupled with pseudodisaccharide followed by deacetylation to produce the acceptor, which on subsequent coupling with tetramannosyl-H-phosphonate provided the fully protected PLM anchor. Final deprotection was successfully achieved by Pearlman's hydrogenation.

One aspect of the present invention relates to compounds, compositions and methods for diagnosis and/or treatment of a subject suffering from an amyloidosis-associated pathological condition. In certain embodiments, the imaging and/or therapeutic agents of the instant invention may be administered to a subject for identification and/or treatment of amyloid deposits. A specific imaging method detects amyloid deposits by administering the imaging agent to the subject and detecting the spatial distribution of the agent. Differential accumulation of the agent is indicative of AD or an amyIoidosis-associated pathological condition and can be monitored by using a PET or SPECT camera.
Syntheses of novel hybrid vitamin C derivatives: Stability and biological activity

A novel series of hybrid L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C) derivatives linking other biologically active substances glycolic acid, myo-inositol, and α-tocopherol (vitamin E) at the C-2 or C-3 hydroxyl group were synthesized, and their thermal stability and inhibitory activities against tyrosinase-catalyzed melanin formation, active oxygen species (AOS), and free radicals were evaluated in vitro. Among these derivatives, 2-O-carboxymethylascorbic acid had high thermal stability as well as moderate inhibitory activities against tyrosinase-catalyzed melanin formation, AOS, and free radicals compared to other typical inhibitors and scavengers. On the other hand, 3-O-carboxymethylascorbic acid was markedly unstable in aqueous solution. The 2-O-carbonylmethyl derivatives linking myo-inositol or vitamin E were susceptible to degrading, however the vitamin E derivative had stronger inhibitory activities against AOS and free radicals than free vitamin C.
