Glycosynthase mediated synthesis of psychosine

, p. 97 - 99 (2016/10/13)
Globoid cell leukodystrophy (GCL), or Krabbe disease, is a lysosomal storage disorder characterized by a deficiency in galactosylceramidase (GALC), which hydrolyses galactosylceramide and galactosylsphingosine (psychosine). Early detection of GCL in newborns is essential for timely therapeutic intervention and could be achieved by testing infant blood samples with isotopically labeled lysosmal enzyme substrates and mass spectrometry. While isotopically labeled psychosine would be a useful tool for the early diagnosis of GCL, its synthesis is lengthy and expensive. To obviate this problem we developed a one-step chemoenzymatic synthesis of psychosine using a glycosynthase mutant of the Rhodococcus equi endogalactosylceramidase (EGALC), α-D-galactopyranosyl fluoride and sphingosine.

The synthesis and in-vitro biological evaluation of antifungal activities of a series of 1,2-trans glycosphingolipids (GSL) against Candida albicans, Candida parapsilosis, and Candida tropicalis were described. The preliminary study indicated that the sor
The total syntheses of D-erythro-sphingosine, N-palmitoylsphingosine (ceramide), and glucosylceramide (cerebroside) via an azidosphingosine analog

The total synthesis of D-erythro-sphingosine (9) was performed by a chirospecific method starting from D-galactose via an azidosphingosine intermediate to give highly homogeneous ( > 99.9% C18:1) sphingosine base (9) which contained no observable olefin isomerization by product and was demonstrated to be optically pure by a novel method utilizing Mosher's acid. Ceramide (10) was prepared from this sphingosine (9) with highly homogeneous (99.8% C16:0) palmitic acid by two methods. The cerebroside glucosylceramide (23) was the next sphingolipid in this series to be synthesized in a highly homogeneous form. These three sphingolipids are currently being used for biophysical studies of the structures of their hydrated bio-molecular assemblies.
Synthesis of Sphingosine Relatives, IX. Synthesis of (2S,3R,4E)-1-O-(β-D-Glucopyranosyl)-N--4-sphingenine. The Structure Proposed for the Esterified Cerebroside in the Epidermis of Guinea Pigs

, p. 253 - 257 (2007/10/02)
(2S,3R,4E)-1-O-(β-D-Glucopyranosyl)-N--4-sphingenine (1) was synthesized from D-glucose (A), (2S,3R,4E)-4-sphingenine (sphingosine, B), 24-hydroxytetracosanoic acid (C) and linoleic acid (D).The 1H-NMR spectrum of the synthetic 1 was different from that of the esterified cerebroside which was isolated as a tissue-characteristic compound in the epidermis of foodpad and dorsal skin of guinea pigs.
Process for the preparation of sphingosine derivatives

, (2008/06/13)
The invention relates to a new process for the preparation of the sphingosine derivatives described in European Patent Application No. 146,810, of the formula: STR1 It comprises protecting D-galactose in the 4,6-position and oxidizing it to the corresponding D-threose protected in the 2,4-position, condensing an aliphatic chain (R3) onto the latter by a Wittig reaction, converting the free hydroxyl group into a azido group and splitting off the protective group, protecting the resulting 2-azido-1,3-dihydroxy compound selectively in the 1-position and blocking it in the 3-position, liberating the 1-hydroxy group again, glycosidating the resulting compound or the abovementioned 2-azido-1,3-dihydroxy compound with the 0-trifluoro- or 0-trichloro-acetimade or the 1-halogen derivative of a 2,3,4,6-0-tetraacyl-D-glucose, splitting off the acyl groups of these and the protective group in the 3-position, converting the azido group into an amino group and acylating the amino compound with a fatty acid R1 --OH. The process gives the compounds of the therapeutically more active D series in a high yield in relatively few stages without resolving diastereomers.

, (2008/06/13)
Organic amide compounds of the formula STR1 wherein R1 --CO is a residue of a carboxylic acid with the proviso that the carboxylic acid is not a natural fatty acid normally bound to nitrogen of nitrogenous lipids, R2 is a hydrogen atom, a C1-7 alkyl group, or a C4-7 cycloalkyl group, and R3-N is a residue of a nitrogenous lipid. The compounds are useful in increasing or stimulating the in vivo biological activity of in vitro biologically active carboxylic acids.
