- Pillar[5]arene-Based Polycationic Glyco[2]rotaxanes Designed as Pseudomonas aeruginosa Antibiofilm Agents
-
Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P.A.) is a human pathogen belonging to the top priorities for the discovery of new therapeutic solutions. Its propensity to generate biofilms strongly complicates the treatments required to cure P.A. infections. Herein, we describe the synthesis of a series of novel rotaxanes composed of a central galactosylated pillar[5]arene, a tetrafucosylated dendron, and a tetraguanidinium subunit. Besides the high affinity of the final glycorotaxanes for the two P.A. lectins LecA and LecB, potent inhibition levels of biofilm growth were evidenced, showing that their three subunits work synergistically. An antibiofilm assay using a double δlecAδlecB mutant compared to the wild type demonstrated that the antibiofilm activity of the best glycorotaxane is lectin-mediated. Such antibiofilm potency had rarely been reached in the literature. Importantly, none of the final rotaxanes was bactericidal, showing that their antibiofilm activity does not depend on bacteria killing, which is a rare feature for antibiofilm agents.

- A preparation 1-S -2, 3, 4-tri-O-benzyl-l-sulfur generation of pyrane Gorgy xylosides method
-
The invention provides a method for preparing 1-S-2,3,4-tri-o-benzyl-1-sulfo-pyran fucus glycoside. The method comprises the following steps of: adding DMF (Dimethyl Formamide), sodium borohydride, zinc chloride and blue copperas into a reaction container; dripping benzyl chloride in a stirring manner; dripping 1-S-ethyl-1-sulfo-pyran fucus glycoside after the dripping of the benzyl chloride; and after the material adding, reacting at a room temperature and performing aftertreatment, thereby obtaining the 1-S-2,3,4-tri-o-benzyl-1-sulfo-pyran fucus glycoside. Thus, the method which does not require NaH (Sodium Hydride) participated in the reaction and is moderate in reaction, high in safe coefficient and high in yield is provided.

- Total synthesis of LewisX using a late-stage crystalline intermediate
-
Abstract Herein, we report on a highly efficient synthesis of a crystalline protected LewisX trisaccharide that was converted to LewisX following global deprotection. The trisaccharide was prepared in a highly convergent synthesis (seven steps, longest linear sequence) and in a 38% overall yield using a strategy that involved the regioselective glycosylation of a GlcNAc acceptor with a galactose thioglycoside donor, followed by fucosylation of the remaining free GlcNAc hydroxyl as key steps. The core trisaccharide also has the potential to be converted to other members of the Type-2 Lewis family of antigens due to the orthogonal nature of the protecting groups employed.

- A new approach to explore the binding space of polysaccharide-based ligands: Selectin antagonists
-
The discovery of molecules that interfere with the binding of a ligand to a receptor remains a topic of great interest in medicinal chemistry. Herein, we report that a monosaccharide unit of a polysaccharide ligand can be replaced advantageously by a conformationally locked acyclic molecular entity. A cyclic component of the selectin ligand Sialyl Lewisx, GlcNAc, is replaced by an acyclic tether, tartaric esters, which link two saccharide units. The conformational bias of this acyclic tether originates from the minimization of intramolecular dipole-dipole interaction and the gauche effect. The evaluation of the binding of these derivatives to P-selectin was measured by surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy. The results obtained in our pilot study suggest that the discovery of tunable tethers could facilitate the exploration of the carbohydrate recognition domain of various receptors.
