Natural modifications of peptidoglycan modulate the innate immune response. Peptidoglycan derivatives activate this response via the intracellular innate immune receptor, Nod2. To probe how these modifications alter the response, a novel and efficient carbohydrate synthesis was developed to allow for late-stage modification of the amine at the 2-position. Modification of the carbohydrate was found to be important for stabilizing Nod2 and generating the proper response. The native Nod2 ligands demonstrate a significant increase in the cellular stability of Nod2. Moreover, changing the identity of the natural ligands at the carbohydrate 2-position allows for the Nod2-dependent immune response to be either up-regulated or down-regulated. The ligand structure can be adjusted to tune the Nod2 response, suggesting that other innate immune receptors and their ligands could use a similar strategy.

Page/Page column 11, (2016/11/17)
The present invention provides N-acetyl-muramic acid (NAM) derivatives having Formula I, wherein Xa is selected from the group consisting of X1-X59, Ya is selected from the group consisting of H, monophosphate, uridine diphosphate and ethyl azide linker prepared from 2-azido-ethanol, and Za is selected from the group consisting of OH, an ethylene diamine coupled fluorophore, a peptide and a peptide with an ethylene diamine coupled fluorophore, wherein the peptide is selected from the group consisting of a monopeptide, a dipeptide, a tripeptide and a pentapeptide. Also provided are methods for synthesizing NAM derivatives and methods for modulating Nod2 in cells, modifying bacterial cell wall or modulating innate immune response by a subject to bacterial cells upon exposure to NAM derivatives.

Benzyl 2-azido-2-deoxy-beta-D-galactopyranoside was converted into benzyl 2-azido-4,6-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-beta-D-galactopyranoside via benzylidenation, p-methoxybenzylation, acid hydrolysis, benzylation, and selective oxidation. Condensation of 1,2,3,4,6-pen
ERPROBTE SYNTHESE VON 2-AZIDO-2-DESOXY-D-MANNOSE UND 2-AZIDO-2-DESOXY-D-MANNURONSAEURE ALS BAUSTEIN ZUM AUFBAU VON BAKTERIEN-POLYSACCHARID-SEQUENZEN

The azidonitration of 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-1,5-anhydro-2-deoxy-D-arabino-hex-1-enitol at low temperature afforded preponderantly the azidonitrate having the D-manno configuration.After reaction with sodium acetate, 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-2-azido-2-deoxy-α-D-mannopyranose was directly isolated and deblocking gave 2-azido-2-deoxy-D-mannopyranose. 3,4,6-Tri-O-acetyl-2-azido-2-deoxy-α-D-mannopyranosyl bromide and 2-azido-3,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-α-D-mannopyranosyl bromide were prepared and are suitable for selective α- and β-glycoside synthesis.In the presence of platinum-oxygen, the catalytic oxidation of benzyl 2-azido-2-deoxy-α-D-mannopyranoside gave in high yields (benzyl 2-azido-2-deoxy-α-D-mannopyranosid)uronic acid from which 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-mannopyranuronic acid was obtained.By catalytic oxidation, selectively blocked derivatives of 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-mannopyranose were converted into the correspondind uronic acid derivatives.
