by CC of Sephadex LH-20 (MeOH–H2O
1:1, v/v) to give the sugar moiety.
The purified sugar and standard D-glucose
(Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO, USA)
were treated with L-cysteine methyl
ester hydrochloride (2 mg) in pyridine
(1 ml) at 608C for 1 h. Then, the solution
was treated with N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl)-
trifluoroacetamide (0.02 ml) at 608C for
1 h. The supernatant was subjected to GC
analysis to identify the sugars. Conditions
for GC were capillary column, DB5-MS
(30 m £ 0.25 mm £ 0.25 mm), oven tem-
perature program, 180–3008C at 68C/min;
injection temperature 3508C; carrier gas,
He at 1 ml/min. D-Glucose was detected by
comparing its retention time with that of
the authentic sample (tR ¼ 12.30 min).

Compound 2 (1 mg) was refluxed in 2 N
HCl–dioxane (1:1 v/v, 2 ml) for 2 h. On
cooling, the mixture was neutralized with
NaHCO3. After extraction with EtOAc,
the aqueous layer was concentrated by
blowing with N2. The residue was purified
