Glycosynthase mediated synthesis of psychosine

Globoid cell leukodystrophy (GCL), or Krabbe disease, is a lysosomal storage disorder characterized by a deficiency in galactosylceramidase (GALC), which hydrolyses galactosylceramide and galactosylsphingosine (psychosine). Early detection of GCL in newborns is essential for timely therapeutic intervention and could be achieved by testing infant blood samples with isotopically labeled lysosmal enzyme substrates and mass spectrometry. While isotopically labeled psychosine would be a useful tool for the early diagnosis of GCL, its synthesis is lengthy and expensive. To obviate this problem we developed a one-step chemoenzymatic synthesis of psychosine using a glycosynthase mutant of the Rhodococcus equi endogalactosylceramidase (EGALC), α-D-galactopyranosyl fluoride and sphingosine.

Organic amide compounds of the formula STR1 wherein R1 --CO is a residue of a carboxylic acid with the proviso that the carboxylic acid is not a natural fatty acid normally bound to nitrogen of nitrogenous lipids, R2 is a hydrogen atom, a C1-7 alkyl group, or a C4-7 cycloalkyl group, and R3-N is a residue of a nitrogenous lipid. The compounds are useful in increasing or stimulating the in vivo biological activity of in vitro biologically active carboxylic acids.
