Hayes, John A.,Eccles, Kevin S.,Lawrence, Simon E.,Moynihan, Humphrey A.
, p. 35 - 39 (2016)
Methyl tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-glucopyranuronate (1) and methyl tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-glucopyranuronate (3) were isolated as crystalline solids and their crystal structures were obtained. That of the β anomer (1) was the same as that reported by Root et?al., while anomer (3) was found to crystallise in the orthorhombic space group P212121with two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. No other crystal forms were found for either compound upon recrystallisation from a range of solvents. The α anomer (3) was found to be an impurity in initially precipitated batches of β-anomer (1) in quantities a crystallographic direction in the absence of the α impurity, while the presence of the α anomer (3) enhanced this elongation.

The identity of the crystalline product formed by the acetylation of a mixture of methyl α- and β-D-glucopyranuronates has been confirmed as being methyl 1,2,3,4-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-glucopyranuronate (3), which agrees with the assignment from 1H NMR. The absolute configuration of compound 3 was assigned to agree with the known chirality of the precursor sugar, D-glucono-6,3-lactone.

A series of new carbohydrate-based sulphonamide derivatives were designed, synthesised by employing the so-call ‘sugar-tail’ approach. The compounds were evaluated in vitro against a panel of CAs. Compared to their parent compound p-sulfamoylbenzoic acid, these compounds showed nearly 100-fold improvement in their binding affinities against hCA II in vitro. All of compounds showed great water solubility and the pH value of their water solutions of compounds is 7.0. Such properties are advantageous to make them much less irritating to the eye when applied topical glaucomatous drugs, compared to the relatively highly acidic dorzolamide preparations (pH 5.5). Notably, compounds 7d, 7 g, 7 h demonstrated to topically lower intraocular pressure (IOP) in glaucomatous animals better than brinzolamide when applied as a 1% solution directly into the eye. Low cytotoxicity on human cornea epithelial cell was observed in the tested concentrations by the MTT assay.

Synthetic immune-stimulatory drugs such as agonists of the Toll-like receptors (TLR) 7/8 are potent activators of antigen-presenting cells (APCs), however, they also induce severe side effects due to leakage from the site of injection into systemic circulation. Here, we report on the design and synthesis of an amphiphilic polymer-prodrug conjugate of an imidazoquinoline TLR7/8 agonist that in aqueous medium forms vesicular structures of 200 nm. The conjugate contains an endosomal enzyme-responsive linker enabling degradation of the vesicles and release of the TLR7/8 agonist in native form after endocytosis, which results in high in vitro TLR agonist activity. In a mouse model, locally administered vesicles provoke significantly more potent and long-lasting immune stimulation in terms of interferon expression at the injection site and in draining lymphoid tissue compared to a nonamphiphilic control and the native TLR agonist. Moreover, the vesicles induce robust activation of dendritic cells in the draining lymph node in vivo.

Carbohydrates are involved in many important pathological processes, such as bacterial and viral infections, by means of carbohydrate-protein interactions. Glycoconjugates with multiple carbohydrates are involved in multivalent interactions, thus increasing their binding strengths to proteins. In this work, we report the efficient synthesis of novel muramic and glucuronic acid glycodendrimers as potential Dengue virus antagonists. Aromatic scaffolds functionalized with a terminal ethynyl groups were coupled to muramic and glucuronic acid azides by click chemistry through optimized synthetic strategies to afford the desired glycodendrimers with high yields. Surface Plasmon Resonance studies have demonstrated that the compounds reported bind efficiently to the Dengue virus envelope protein. Molecular modelling studies were carried out to simulate and explain the binding observed. These studies confirm that efficient chemical synthesis of glycodendrimers can be brought about easily offering a versatile strategy to find new active compounds against Dengue virus.

Preparation of substituent-diverse, triazole-iduronic acid hybrid molecules by click reaction of an azido iduronic acid derivative with randomly chosen alkynes is described. Library members were screened for their ability to inhibit α-l-iduronidase, and hit molecules and analogues were then investigated for their ability to stabilize rh-α-IDUA in a thermal denaturation study. This work resulted in the discovery of the first small molecules that can be used to stabilize exogenous rh-α-IDUA protein in vitro.

Functional metagenomics has opened new opportunities for enzyme discovery. To exploit the full potential of this new tool, the design of selective screens is essential, especially when searching for rare enzymes. To identify novel glycosidases that employ cleavage strategies other than the conventional Koshland mechanisms, a suitable screen was needed. Focusing on the unsaturated glucuronidases (UGLs), it was found that use of simple aryl glycoside substrates did not allow sufficient discrimination against β-glucuronidases, which are widespread in bacteria. While conventional glycosidases cannot generally hydrolyze thioglycosides efficiently, UGLs follow a distinct mechanism that allows them to do so. Thus, fluorogenic thioglycoside substrates featuring thiol-based self-immolative linkers were synthesized and assessed as selective substrates. The generality of the approach was validated with another family of unconventional glycosidases, the GH4 enzymes. Finally, the utility of these substrates was tested by screening a small metagenomic library.

Paragraph 0016, (2018/09/11)
The invention discloses a glycosyl donor synthetic process, aiming to overcome defects in detection of aerobe vaginitis (AV) by the prior art. Glycosyl donor is connected with chromogen indole to generate glucosides, and an indole-glucoside substrate with good effect, high flexibility, high stability and high specificity is then synthetized. According to inspection standards, as a comparison result between the color rendering property of the synthetized substrate and that of conventional AV detection reagents, the color rendering property of the substrate is superior to that of a Chromagar AVdetection reagent. With innovation of the glycosyl donor synthetic process and the synthetic process of gluocosides by connection for synthesis of the indole-glucoside chromogenic substrate, innovation of extraction and purification and application verification, reaction yield of each stage of products is increased greatly, the products are white nearly, influence from color of the substrate to identification process is reduced, and flexibility and accuracy of AV detection are both improved greatly.

Decarboxylation is a fundamentally important reaction in biology and involves highly diverse mechanisms. Here we report a mechanistic study of the non-oxidative decarboxylation catalyzed by BlsE, a radical S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM) enzyme involved in blasticidin S biosynthesis. Through a series of biochemical analysis with isotopically labeled reagents, we show that the BlsE-catalyzed reaction is initiated by the 5′-deoxyadenosyl (dAdo) radical-mediated hydrogen abstraction from a sugar carbon of the substrate cytosylglucuronic acid (CGA), and does not involve a carboxyl radical as has been proposed for 4-hydroxyphenylacetate decarboxylase (HPAD). Our study reveals that BlsE represents a mechanistically new type of radical-based decarboxylase.
