Direct Synthesis of para-Nitrophenyl Glycosides from Reducing Sugars in Water
Fairbanks, Antony J.,Qiu, Xin
supporting information, (2020/03/24)
Reducing sugars may be directly converted into the corresponding para-nitrophenyl (pNP) glycosides using 2-chloro-1,3-dimethylimidazolinium chloride (DMC), para-nitrophenol, and a suitable base in aqueous solution. The reaction is stereoselective for sugars with either a hydroxyl or an acetamido group at position 2, yielding the 1,2-trans pNP glycosides. A judicious choice of base allows extension to di-and oligosaccharide substrates, including a complex N-glycan oligosaccharide isolated from natural sources, without the requirement of any protecting group manipulations

Cyclodextrin glycosyltransferases (CGTase) are reported to selectively catalyze α(1→4)-glycosyl transfer reactions besides showing low hydrolytic activity. Here, the effect of the anomeric configuration of the glycosyl acceptor on the regioselectivity of

The action pattern of human salivary amylase (HSA) was examined by utilising as model substrates 2-chloro-4-nitrophenyl (CNP) β-glycosides of maltooligosaccharides of dp 4-8 and some 4-nitrophenyl (NP) derivatives modified at the nonreducing end with a 4,6-O-benzylidene (Bnl) group. The product pattern and cleavage frequency were investigated by product analysis using HPLC. The results revealed that the binding region in HSA is longer than five subsites usually considered in the literature and suggested the presence of at least six subsites; four glycone binding sites (-4, -3, -2, -1) and two aglycone binding sites (+1, +2). In the ideal arrangement, the six subsites are filled by a glucosyl unit and the release of maltotetraose (G4) from the nonreducing end is dominant. The benzylidene group was also recognisable by subsites (-3) and (-4). The binding modes of the benzylidene derivatives indicated a favourable interaction between the Bnl group and subsite (-3) and an unfavourable one with subsite (-4). Thus, subsite (-4) must be more hydrophylic than hydrophobic. As compared with the action of porcine pancreatic α-amylase (PPA) on the same substrates, the results showed differences in the three-dimensional structure of active sites of HSA and PPA.

Synthesis of chromogenic substrates of α-amylases on a cyclodextrin basis

One-pot acetylation and subsequent partial acetolysis of α-, β-and γ- cyclodextrins resulted in crystalline peracetylated malto-hexaose, -heptaose, and -octaose, respectively. Prolonged acetolysis of β-cyclodextrin gave a mixture of acetylated maltooligosaccharides, from which peracetylated malto- triose, -tetraose, and -pentaose were isolated. The acetylated oligosaccharides were converted into α-acetobromo derivatives, and then transformed into 4-nitrophenyl and 2-chloro-4-nitrophenyl β-glycosides. From the 4-nitrophenyl glycosides 4,6-O-benzylidene derivatives were prepared, which were used together with the free glycosides as substrates of porcine pancreatic α-amylase.
