Therapeutic angiogenesis is a potential therapeutic strategy for hind limb ischemia (HLI); however, currently, there are no small-molecule drugs capable of inducing it at the clinical level. Activating the hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) pathway in skeletal muscle induces the secretion of angiogenic factors and thus is an attractive therapeutic angiogenesis strategy. Using salidroside, a natural glycosidic compound as a lead, we performed a structure-activity relationship (SAR) study for developing a more effective and druggable angiogenesis agent. We found a novel glycoside scaffold compound (C-30) with better efficacy than salidroside in enhancing the accumulation of the HIF-1α protein and stimulating the paracrine functions of skeletal muscle cells. This in turn significantly increased the angiogenic potential of vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells and, subsequently, induced the formation of mature, functional blood vessels in diabetic and nondiabetic HLI mice. Together, this study offers a novel, promising small-molecule-based therapeutic strategy for treating HLI.

Muramyl dipeptide (MDP) is the smallest peptidoglycan fragment able to trigger the immune response. Structural modification of MDP can lead to the preparation of analogs with improved immunostimulant properties, including desmuramyl peptides (DMPs). The aim of this work was to prepare the desmuramyl peptide (L-Ala-D-Glu)-containing adamantyl-triazole moiety and its mannosylated derivative in order to study their immunomodulatory activities in vivo. The adjuvant activity of the prepared compounds was evaluated in a murine model using ovalbumin as an antigen, and compared to the reference adjuvant ManAdDMP. The results showed that the introduction of the lipophilic adamantyl-triazole moiety at the C-terminus of L-Ala-D-Glu contributes to the immunostimulant activity of DMP, and that mannosylation of DMP modified with adamantyl-triazole causes the amplification of its immunostimulant activity.

The stereoselectivity and yield in glycosylation reactions are paramount but unpredictable. We have developed a database of acceptor nucleophilic constants (Aka) to quantify the nucleophilicity of hydroxyl groups in glycosylation influenced by the steric, electronic and structural effects, providing a connection between experiments and computer algorithms. The subtle reactivity differences among the hydroxyl groups on various carbohydrate molecules can be defined by Aka, which is easily accessible by a simple and convenient automation system to assure high reproducibility and accuracy. A diverse range of glycosylation donors and acceptors with well-defined reactivity and promoters were organized and processed by the designed software program “GlycoComputer” for prediction of glycosylation reactions without involving sophisticated computational processing. The importance of Aka was further verified by random forest algorithm, and the applicability was tested by the synthesis of a Lewis A skeleton to show that the stereoselectivity and yield can be accurately estimated.
