2-Acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose hydrochloride (D-glucosamine hydrochloride) has been used for the preparation of 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-2-trifluoroacetamido-β- (4) and 2-tetrachlorophthalimido-α,β-D-glucopyranose (6), which have been transformed into the appropriate bromides and the chloride. Both bromo and chloro sugars were used as a glycosyl donors for the glycosylation of diosgenin [(25R)-spirost-5-en-3β-ol]. These condensations were conducted under mild conditions, using silver triflate as a promoter, and gave diosgenyl glycosides 9 and 12. Each of them was converted into diosgenyl 2-amino-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranoside hydrochloride (11) and N-acylamido derivatives. The structures of all new glycosides were established by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. These diosgenyl glycosides are the first saponins containing the D-glucosamine residue that have been synthesized. These compounds show promising antitumor activities. The synthetic saponins increase the number of apoptotic B cells, in combination with cladribine (2-CdA), that are isolated from chronic lymphotic leukemia (B-CLL) patients.

Insect chitinolytic β-N-acetylhexosaminidase OfHex1, from the agricultural pest Ostrinia furnacalis (Guenée), is considered as a potential target for green pesticide design. In this study, rational molecular design and optimization led to the synthesis of compounds 15r (Ki = 5.3 μM) and 15y (Ki = 2.7 μM) that had superior activity against OfHex1 than previously reported lead compounds. Both compounds 15r and 15y had high selectivity toward OfHex1 over human β-N-acetylhexosaminidase B (HsHexB) and human O-GlcNAcase (hOGA). In addition, to investigate the basis for the potency of glycosylated naphthalimides against OfHex1, molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations were performed to study possible binding modes. Furthermore, the in vivo biological activity of target compounds with efficient OfHex1 inhibitory potency was assayed against Myzus persicae, Plutella xylostella, and O. furnacalis. This present work indicates that glycosylated naphthalimides can be further developed as potential pest control and management agents targeting OfHex1.

As part of our efforts to develop new compounds aimed at the therapy of parasitic infections, we synthesized and assayed analogues of a lead compound megazol, 5-(1-methyl-5-nitro-1H-2-imidazolyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-amine, CAS no. 19622-55-0), in vitro. We first developed a new route for the synthesis of megazol. Subsequently several structural changes were introduced, including substitutions on the two rings of the basic nucleus, replacement of the thiadiazole by an oxadiazole, replacement of the nitroimidazole part by a nitrofurane or a nitrothiophene, and substitutions on the exocyclic nitrogen atom for evaluation of an improved import by the glucose or the purine transporters. Assays of the series of compounds on the protozoan parasites Trypanosoma brucei, Trypanosoma cruzi, and Leishmania donovani, as either extracellular cells or infected macrophages, indicated that megazol was more active than the derivatives. Megazol was then evaluated on primates infected with Trypanosoma brucei gambiense, including late-stage central nervous system infections in combination with suramin. Full recovery was observed in five monkeys in the study with no relapse of parasitemia within a 2 year follow-up. Because there is a lack of efficacious treatments for sleeping sickness in Africa and Chagas disease in South America, megazol is proposed as a potential alternative. The mutagenicity of this compound is at present being reevaluated, and metabolism is also under investigation prior to possible further developments.

Herein we report the design, synthesis and biological evaluation of structurally modified ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin and moxifloxacin standard drugs, featuring amide functional groups at C-3 of the fluoroquinolone scaffold. In vitro antimicrobial testing against various Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria and fungi revealed potential antibacterial and antifungal activity. Hybrid compounds 9 (MIC 0.2668 ± 0.0001 mM), 10 (MIC 0.1358 ± 00025 mM) and 13 (MIC 0.0898 ± 0.0014 mM) had potential antimicrobial activity against a fluoroquinolone-resistant Escherichia coli clinical isolate, compared to ciprofloxacin (MIC 0.5098 ± 0.0024 mM) and norfloxacin (MIC 0.2937 ± 0.0021 mM) standard drugs. Interestingly, compound 10 also exerted potential antifungal activity against Candida albicans (MIC 0.0056 ± 0.0014 mM) and Penicillium chrysogenum (MIC 0.0453 ± 0.0156 mM). Novel derivatives and standard fluoroquinolone drugs exhibited near-identical cytotoxicity levels against L6 muscle cell-line, when measured using the MTT assay.

Selectins (L, E, and P) are vascular endothelial molecules that play an important role in the recruitment of leukocytes to inflamed tissue. In this regard, P-Selectin glycoprotein-1 (PSGL-1) has been identified as a ligand for P-Selectin. PSGL-1 binds to
Steroid and bile acids amide conjugates with D-glucosamine

, p. 65 - 74 (2011)
New type of amide conjugates of steroid and bile acids with D-glucosamine 1 and 2 were prepared. Title compounds are prepared via acid chloride or using N-[({[(1E)-1-cyano- 2-ethoxy-2-oxoethylidene]amino}oxy)(dimethylamino) methylidene]-N-methylmethanaminium tetrafluoroborate as condensation agent. They were examined for gelation properties with negative results. Per-O-acetylated D-glucosamine hydrochloride was prepared in one step procedure from D-glucosamine hydrochloride by acetylation in a mixture of acetyl chloride and acetic acid.

Plesiomonas shigelloides, a pathogen responsible for frequent outbreaks of severe travelers' diarrhea, causes grave extraintestinal infections. Sepsis and meningitis due to P. shigelloides are associated with a high mortality rate as antibiotic resistance increases and vaccines are not available. Carbohydrate antigens expressed by pathogens are often structurally unique and are targets for developing vaccines and diagnostics. Here, we report a total synthesis of the highly functionalized trisaccharide repeating unit 2 from P. shigelloides serotype 51 from three monosaccharides. A judicious choice of building blocks and reaction conditions allowed for the four amino groups adorning the sugar rings to be installed with two N-acetyl (Ac) groups, rare acetamidino (Am), and d-3-hydroxybutyryl (Hb) groups. The strategy for the differentiation of amino groups in trisaccharide 2 will serve well for the syntheses of other complex glycans.
2-Isocyano glucose used in Ugi four-component reaction: An approach to enhance inhibitory effect against DNA oxidation

The Ugi four-component-reaction (Ugi 4CR) allowed synthesizing bisamide from carboxylic acid, aldehyde, amine, and isocyanide in one-pot operation. However, introducing 2-isocyano glucose into the Ugi 4CR and investigating the inhibitory effects of Ugi adducts against radical-induced oxidation of DNA remained technical challenges. We herein applied 2-isocyano glucose (acetylation of hydroxy groups) to perform a catalyst-free Ugi 4CR at room temperature. The gallic, ferulic, caffeic, or p-hydroxybenzoic acids, aniline (or benzylamine and p-aminophenol), and formaldehyde acted as reagents. In the case of inhibiting DNA oxidations induced by 2,2’-azobis(2-amidinopropane hydrochloride) (AAPH), hydroxy radical, and Cu2+/glutathione, the Ugi adduct containing glucose moiety exhibited higher antioxidative activities than the structural analog without glucose moiety involved. It was also proved that high antioxidative property was owing to hydroxy groups in glucose moiety. Therefore, sugar-appended Ugi adducts might hold promising inhibitors for DNA oxidation.
