A convenient route for the synthesis of heparin oligosaccharides involving regioselective protection of d-glucosamine and a concise preparation of rare l-ido sugars from diacetone α-d-glucose is described. Stereoselective coupling of a d-glucosamine-derived trichloroacetimidate with a 1,6-anhydro-β-l-idopyranosyl 4-alcohol gave the desired α-linked disaccharide, which was used as repeating unit for dual chain elongation and termination. Stepwise assembly from the reducing to the non-reducing end with a d-glucosamine-derived monosaccharide as starting unit furnished the oligosaccharide skeletons having different chain lengths. A series of functional group transformations afforded the expected heparin oligosaccharides with 3, 5 and 7 sugar units. Interaction of these oligosaccharides with eosinophil-derived neurotoxin (EDN), a cationic ribonuclease and a mediator produced by human eosinophils, was further investigated. The results revealed that at 5 μg mL-1, the heptasaccharide has sufficiently strong interference to block EDN binding to Beas-2B cells. The tri- and pentasaccharides have moderate inhibitory properties at 50 μg mL-1 concentration, but no inhibition has been observed at 10 μg mL-1. The IC50 values of the tri-, penta- and heptasaccharides are 69.4, 47.2 and 0.225 μg mL-1, respectively.
