The first known report on the fluoride catalytic reactivity of potassium aryltrifluoroborate is described. The fluoride reactivity of phenyltrifluoroborate was controlled by substituents on the trifluoroborate-attached benzene, such as the methoxy group a

Siglecs are members of the immunoglobulin gene family containing sialic acid binding N-terminal domains. Among them, Siglec-8 is expressed on various cell types of the immune system such as eosinophils, mast cells and weakly on basophils. Cross-linking of Siglec-8 with monoclonal antibodies triggers apoptosis in eosinophils and inhibits degranulation of mast cells, making Siglec-8 a promising target for the treatment of eosinophil- and mast cell-associated diseases such as asthma. The tetrasaccharide 6’-sulfo-sialyl Lewisx has been identified as a specific Siglec-8 ligand in glycan array screening. Here, we describe an extended study enlightening the pharmacophores of 6’-sulfo-sialyl Lewisx and the successful development of a high-affinity mimetic. Retaining the neuraminic acid core, the introduction of a carbocyclic mimetic of the Gal moiety and a sulfonamide substituent in the 9-position gave a 20-fold improved binding affinity. Finally, the residence time, which usually is the Achilles tendon of carbohydrate/lectin interactions, could be improved.

NMR studies of two 13C-labeled disaccharides and a tetrasaccharide were undertaken that comprise the backbone of a novel thermal hysteresis glycolipid containing a linear glycan sequence of alternating [βXylp-(1→4)-βManp-(1→4)]n dimers. Experimental trans-glycoside NMR J-couplings, parameterized equations obtained from density functional theory (DFT) calculations, and an in-house circular statistics package (MA'AT) were used to derive conformational models of linkage torsion angles φ and ψ in solution, which were compared to those obtained from molecular dynamics simulations. Modeling using different probability distribution functions showed that MA'AT models of φ in βMan(1→4)βXyl and βXyl(1→4)βMan linkages are very similar in the disaccharide building blocks, whereas MA'AT models of ψ differ. This pattern is conserved in the tetrasaccharide, showing that linkage context does not influence linkage geometry in this linear system. Good agreement was observed between the MA'AT and MD models of ψ with respect to mean values and circular standard deviations. Significant differences were observed for φ, indicating that revision of the force-field employed by GLYCAM is probably needed. Incorporation of the experimental models of φ and ψ into the backbone of an octasaccharide fragment leads to a helical amphipathic topography that may affect the thermal hysteresis properties of the glycolipid.
