Stereoselective glycosylation is challenging in carbohydrate chemistry. Herein, stereoselective thioglycosylation of glycals via palladium-catalyzed allylic rearrangement yields various substituents on α-isomer thioglycosides. Two comprehensive series of aryl and benzyl thioglycosides were obtained via a combination of thiosulfates with glycals derived from glucose, arabinose, galactose, and rhamnose. Furthermore, diosgenyl α-l-rhamnoside and isoquercitrin achieved selectivity via stereospecific [2,3]-sigma rearrangements of α-sulfoxide-rhamnoside and α-sulfoxide-glucoside, respectively.

The present invention is directed to the bifunctional compounds and the use of such bifunctional compounds to lower plasma levels of extracellular target molecules by lysosomal degradation. Such bifunctional compounds have a cell surface receptor ligand covalently linked to a ligand that is capable of binding to an extracellular target molecule (such as a ligand for a growth factor, a cytokine, a chemokine, a hormone, a neurotransmitter, a capsid, a soluble receptor, an extracellular secreted protein, an antibody, a lipoprotein, an exosome, a virus, a cell, or a plasma membrane protein), where the cell surface receptor is associated with receptor mediated endocytosis, including asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR) mediated lysosomal degradation and mannose-6-phosphate (M6PR) mediated lysosomal degradation. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising such bifunctional compounds and methods of treating a disease or disorder mediated by an extracellular molecule using such bifunctional compounds are also provided herein.

This concise total synthesis of the Thomsen-Nouveau (Tn) glycoconjugate was accomplished using a palladium-catalyzed coupling between the glycosyl donor and Fmoc-protected serine acceptor. This is, to the best of our knowledge, the shortest synthesis reported from galactose for preparing this essential building block for large-scale solid phase peptide synthesis.

The present invention provides, in one aspect, bifunctional compounds that can be used to promote or enhance degradation of certain circulating proteins. In another aspect, the present invention provides bifunctional compounds that can be used to promote or enhance degradation of certain autoantibodies. In certain embodiments, treatment or management of a disease and/or disorder requires degradation, removal, or reduction in concentration of the circulating protein or the autoantibody in the subject. Thus, in certain embodiments, administration of a compound of the invention to the subject removes or reduces the circulation concentration of the circulating protein or the autoantibody, thus treating, ameliorating, or preventing the disease and/or disorder. In certain embodiments, the circulating protein is TNF.

A general and efficient strategy for synthesis of tri-, hexa- and heptasaccharidic substructures of the lipopolysaccharide of Providencia rustigianii O34 is described. For the heptasaccharide seven different building blocks were employed. Special features of the structures are an α-linked galactosamine and the two embedded α-fucose units, which are either branched at positions-3 and -4 or further linked at their 2-position. Convergent strategies focused on [4+3], [3+4], and [4+2+1] couplings. Whereas the [4+3] and [3+4] coupling strategies failed the [4+2+1] strategy was successful. As monosaccharidic building blocks trichloroacetimidates and phosphates were employed. Global deprotection of the fully protected structures was achieved by Birch reaction.

One of the main barriers to explaining the functional significance of glycan-based changes in cancer is the natural epitope heterogeneity found on the surface of cancer cells. To help address this knowledge gap, we focused on designing synthetic tools to explore the role of tumor-associated glycans of MUC1 in the formation of metastasis via association with lectins. In this study, we have synthesized for the first time a MUC1-derived positional scanning synthetic glycopeptide combinatorial library (PS-SGCL) that vary in number and location of cancer-associated Tn antigen using the "tea bag" approach. The determination of the isokinetic ratios necessary for the equimolar incorporation of (glyco)amino acids mixtures to resin-bound amino acid was determined, along with developing an efficient protocol for on resin deprotection of O-acetyl groups. Enzyme-linked lectin assay was used to screen PS-SGCL against two plant lectins, Glycine max soybean agglutinin and Vicia villosa. The results revealed a carbohydrate density-dependent affinity trend and site-specific glycosylation requirements for high affinity binding to these lectins. Hence, PS-SGCLs provide a platform to systematically elucidate MUC1-lectin binding specificities, which in the long term may provide a rational design for novel inhibitors of MUC1-lectin interactions involved in tumor spread and glycopeptide-based cancer vaccines.

Paragraph 0031-0032; 0036, (2019/07/04)
The invention discloses a method for stereoselectively synthesizing a beta-2-deoxyglycoside bond. The method comprises the following steps: performing glycosylation on 3,4-O-isopropylidene-6-O-tert-butyl diphenylmethyl silicone-D-galactosene serving as a donor, a saccharide receptor and a molecular sieve under the condition of the existence of an accelerant, wherein an isopropyl acetal protectivegroup is mounted on a 3-site hydroxyl and a 4-site hydroxyl of the 3,4-O-isopropylidene-6-O-tert-butyl diphenylmethyl silicone-D-galactosene and a TBDPS is mounted on the 6-site of the 3,4-O-isopropylidene-6-O-tert-butyl diphenylmethyl silicone-D-galactosene; through the synergistic effect of the protective groups, sugar ring conformation of the donor is controlled, and the stereoselective synthesis of a beta-configuration is realized. According to the method, the stereoselectivity of the glycosylation can be controlled effectively and stereoselectively; the method is wide in substrate application range and convenient to operate; raw materials are easy to obtain; side reactions of the glycosylation are few; a target product is high in yield and optical purity; a new design thought is provided for the research of the glycosylation.

A novel synthetic route for highly substituted conjugated ketones has been developed utilizing glycals as starting materials. The two-step process combined the Heck reaction/Lewis acid promoted ring opening to afford the products in 33–80 % overall yields and with a high level of trans stereoselectivity. Since the products are essentially the aldols, this methodology may be employed in some cases as an alternative synthetic route to the typical aldol condensation. Densely substituted, selectively protected conjugated ketones are synthetically attractive structures which, in our case, proved to be biologically equally appealing. Namely, they showed activity against several cancer cell lines, such as HeLa, K562, MDA-MB-453, in some instances overperforming cisplatin used as a standard.

Antifreeze glycoproteins are a class of biological agents which enable living at temperatures below the freezing point of the body fluids. Antifreeze glycopeptides usually consist of repeating tripeptide unit (-Ala-Ala-Thr?-), glycosylated at the threonine side chain. However, on the microscopic level, the mechanism of action of these compounds remains unclear. As previous research has shown, antifreeze activity of antifreeze glycopeptides strongly relies on the overall conformation of the molecule as well an on the stereochemistry of amino acid residues. The desired monoglycosylated analogues with acetylated amino termini and the carboxy termini in form of N-methylamide have been synthesized. Conformational nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies of the designed analogues have shown a strong influence of the stereochemistry of amino acid residues on the peptide chain stability, which could be connected to the antifreeze activity of these compounds. A better understanding of the mechanism of action of antifreeze glycopeptides would allow applying these materials, e.g., in food industry and biomedicine.
