- Synthesis of N -acetyl glucosamine analogs as inhibitors for hyaluronan biosynthesis
-
Elevated hyaluronan expression is a hallmark of many types of cancer. Therefore, inhibition of hyaluronan biosynthesis can potentially slow the growth of tumor cells. Herein, we explore a chain termination strategy to reduce hyaluronan synthesis by tumor cells. Several analogs of glucosamine were prepared, which contained modifications at the C-3 positions. These analogs can possibly cap the nonreducing end of a growing hyaluronan chain, thus lowering the amount of hyaluronan synthesized. Upon incubation with pancreatic cancer cells, a fluorine-containing glucosamine analog was found to exhibit significant inhibitory activities of hyaluronan synthesis. Furthermore, it drastically reduced the proliferation of cancer cells. Supplemental materials are available for this article.

- Glycosyl Phosphites as Glycosylation Reagents: Scope and Mechanism
-
The glycosylation reactions with glycosyl phosphites in the presence of catalytic amounts of TMSOTf at low temperature have been studied with different donors and acceptors for the synthesis of several glycosides, including O-glycosides, S-glycosides, C-glycosides, and glycopeptides.Mechanistic investigations of the reactions indicate that the glycosyl phosphite is activated by either TfOH or TMSOTf, depending on how the substrates are mixed.When the acceptor is treated with TMSOTf first, the glycosyl phosphite is activated by the resulting TfOH.The glycosyl phosphite can also be activated by TMSOTf directly.The best result is, however, to mix the acceptor and TMSOTf first, followed by addition of the glycosyl phosphite.

- RECTIVITE COMPAREE DE DIVERS ACCEPTEURS DE LA D-GLUCOSAMINE LORS DE LA SYNTHESE DE PRECURSEURS DU CHITOBIOSE

Six D-glucosamine derivatives, diversely substituted at the nitrogen atom, were tested as acceptors in glycosylation reactions with 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-2-allyloxycarbonylamino-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranose (1) as the donor and trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate as the promoter.The observed yields were high with 2-phthalimido- and 2-azido-D-glucosamine acceptors and more generally good with acceptors of the 1,6-anhydro-D-glucosamine series.The disaccharides benzyl 4-O-(3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-allyloxycarbonylamino-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-3,6-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-β-D-glucopyranoside (20), benzyl 4-O-(3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-allyloxycarbonylamino-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-2-allyloxycarbonylamino-3,6-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranoside (21), 4-O-(3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-allyloxycarbonylamino-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-1,6-anhydro-2-azido-3-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranose (22), 4-O-(3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-allyloxycarbonylamino-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-2-allyloxycarbonylamino-1,6-anhydro-3-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranose (23), 2-acetamido-4-O-(3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-allyloxycarbonylamino-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-1,6-anhydro-3-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranose (24) and 2-acetamido-4-O-(2-acetamido-3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-1,6-anhydro-3-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranose (25) have thus been synthesized.
