A series of fluorinated galactosides, dodecyl 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-β-d-galactopyranoside (2F Gal), dodecyl 4-deoxy-4-fluoro-β-d-galactopyranoside (4F Gal) and dodecyl 6-deoxy-6-fluoro-β-d-galactopyranoside (6F Gal), was chemically synthesized and introduced to B16 cells to serve as scaffolds for cellular enzyme glycosylation. Results showed that the presence of fluorine exercised significant effects on cell viability. Among the fluorinated galactosides used, 2F Gal was glycosylated to afford a GM4 analogue.
Synthesis of an ether-linked alkyl 5a-carba-β-D-glucoside, a 5a-carba-β-D-galactoside, a 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-5a-carba-β-D-glucoside, and an alkyl 5a′-carba-β-lactoside

For the purpose of providing biologically stable building blocks for the biocombinatorial synthesis using a living cell, some ether-linked alkyl 5a-carba-β-D-glycoside primers were prepared. The key step of the synthesis was coupling of 1-bromo-n-alkanes with the 1-OH unprotected derivatives of 5a-carba-sugar analogues of D-glucose, D-galactose, and 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose (N-acetyl-D-glucosamine), in DMF in the presence of sodium hydride. Alternatively, alkyl carba-lactoside was synthesized by incorporation of a 5a-carba-β-D-galactose residue into the 4-position of dodecyl β-D-glucopyranoside. A strong and specific inhibition of β-galactosidase (Ki 0.67 μM, bovine liver) was found for dodecyl 5a-carba-β-D-galactopyranoside.
