As a basic study in the synthetic approach to immunoactive cell wall peptid3oglycan whose backbone is a β(1-4)-linked saccharide of alternating glucosamine and3 muramic acid, methods for the direct condensation of these sugar components were studied and O-(N-acetyl-β-muramyl)-(1->4)-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and O-(N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminyl)-(1->4)-N-acetylmuramic acid were synthesized.In the synthesis of the latter disaccharide, previous formation of an ester bond between the carboxyl group of muramic acid and the 6-hydroxyl group of glucosamine proved to facilitate the glycoside bond formation between these sugar moieties.

The human gut must regulate its immune response to resident and pathogenic bacteria, numbering in the trillions. The peptidoglycan component of the bacterial cell wall is a dense and rigid structure that consists of polymeric carbohydrates and highly cross-linked peptides which offers protection from the host and surrounding environment. Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-containing protein 2 (NOD2), a human membrane-associated innate immune receptor found in the gut epithelium and mutated in an estimated 30% of Crohn's disease patients, binds to peptidoglycan fragments and initiates an immune response. Using a combination of chemical synthesis, advanced analytical assays, and protein biochemistry, we tested the binding of a variety of synthetic peptidoglycan fragments to wild-type (WT)-NOD2. Only when the protein was presented in the native membrane did binding measurements correlate with a NOD2-dependent nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) response, supporting the hypothesis that the native-membrane environment confers ligand specificity to the NOD2 receptor for NF-κB signaling. While N-acetyl-muramyl dipeptide (MDP) has been thought to be the minimal peptidoglycan fragment necessary to activate a NOD2-dependent immune response, we found that fragments with and without the dipeptide moiety are capable of binding and activating a NOD2-dependent NF-κB response, suggesting that the carbohydrate moiety of the peptidoglycan fragments is the minimal functional epitope. This work highlights the necessity of studying NOD2-ligand binding in systems that resemble the receptor's natural environment, as the cellular membrane and/or NOD2 interacting partners appear to play a crucial role in ligand binding and in triggering an innate immune response.

Peptidoglycan (PG) is the core structural motif of the bacterial cell wall. Fragments released from the PG serve as fundamental recognition elements for the immune system. The structure of the PG, however, encompasses a variety of chemical modifications among different bacterial species. Here, the applicability of organic synthetic methods to address this chemical diversity is explored, and the synthesis of cross-linked PG fragments, carrying biologically relevant amino acid modifications and peptide cross-linkages, is presented using solution and solid phase approaches.

A series of muramyl dipeptide (MDP) analogues with structural modifications at the C4 position of MurNAc and on the d-iso-glutamine (isoGln) residue of the peptide part were synthesized. The C4-diversification of MurNAc was conveniently achieved by using CuAAC click strategy to conjugate an azido muramyl dipeptide precursor with structurally diverse alkynes. d-Glutamic acid (Glu), replaced with isoGln, was applied for the structural diversity through esterification or amidation of the carboxylic acid. In total, 26 MDP analogues were synthesized and bio-evaluated for the study of human NOD2 stimulation activity in the innate immune response. Interestingly, MDP derivatives with an ester moiety are found to be more potent than reference compound MDP itself or MDP analogues containing an amide moiety. Among the varied lengths of the alkyl chain in ester derivatives, the MDP analogue bearing the d-glutamate dodecyl (C12) ester moiety showed the best NOD2 stimulation potency.

Monosaccharide inhibitors targeting carbohydrate esterase family 4 de-N-acetylases
DiFrancesco, Benjamin R.,Morrison, Zachary A.,Nitz, Mark
, p. 5631 - 5643 (2018/10/24)
The Carbohydrate Esterase family 4 contains virulence factors which modify peptidoglycan and biofilm-related exopolysaccharides. Despite the importance of this family of enzymes, a potent mechanism-based inhibition strategy has yet to emerge. Based on the postulated tridentate binding mode of the tetrahedral de-N-acetylation intermediate, GlcNAc derivatives bearing metal chelating groups at the 2 and 3 positions were synthesized. These scaffolds include 2-C phosphonate, 2-C sulfonamide, 2-thionoacetamide warheads as well as derivatives bearing thiol, amine and azide substitutions at the 3-position. The inhibitors were assayed against a representative peptidoglycan deacetylase, Pgda from Streptococcus pneumonia, and a representative biofilm-related exopolysaccharide deacetylase, PgaB from Escherichia coli. Of the inhibitors evaluated, the 3-thio derivatives showed weak to moderate inhibition of Pgda. The strongest inhibitor was benzyl 2,3-dideoxy-2-thionoacetamide-3-thio-β-D-glucoside, whose inhibitory potency showed an unexpected dependence on metal concentration and was found to have a partial mixed inhibition mode (Ki = 2.9 ± 0.6 μM).
