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.

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).

Paragraph 0038; 0039, (2016/10/07)
The invention discloses a method used for catalytic reduction of imine with saccharide-derivatized amino alcohol. According to the method, imine is taken as a substrate. The method comprises following steps: 1) imine and saccharide-derivatized amino alcohol are dissolved in an organic solvent I, wherein molar ratio of imine to saccharide-derivatized amino alcohol ranges from 100:1-20; 2) trichlorosilane with 1.5 to 5 times equivalent weights is added into a solution obtained via step 1) dropwise, an obtained mixture is stirred and reacted for 12 to 36h at a temperature of -20 to 40 DEG C, and a saturated sodium bicarbonate solution is used for quenching; 3) a material obtained via step 2) is extracted with an organic solvent II, and is subjected to column chromatography isolation so as to obtain amine compounds.

A robust synthesis of N-glycolyl muramyl dipeptide via azidonitration/reduction
Xing, Shuo,Gleason, James L.
, p. 1515 - 1520 (2015/01/30)
A novel synthetic route leading to N-glycolyl muramyl dipeptide (MDP), a bacterial glycopeptide of particular interest in studies of nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-containing protein 2 (NOD2), is described. The synthetic strategy hinges on the alkylation of benzylidene-protected glucal with 2-bromopropionic acid and thus circumvents a challenging and non-reproducible SN2 step at the C-3 position of glucosamine derivatives. The subsequent sequence includes an azidonitration and an unusual azide reduction/acylation step via an aza ylide/oxaphospholidine intermediate. This approach generates a protected N-glycolyl MDP that can be either subjected to a one-step global deprotection or differentially deprotected to obtain further derivatives.
