Paragraph 0041; 0226; 0227, (2021/04/02)
Neoglycoconjugates as immunogens and therapeutic/diagnostic tools are described herein. The neoglycoconjugates are produced by conjugating a carbohydrate antigen intermediate to a free amine group of a carrier material (e.g., carrier protein). The interme

Uridine diphosphate N-acetyl muramic acid (UDP NAM) is a critical intermediate in bacterial peptidoglycan (PG) biosynthesis. As the primary source of muramic acid that shapes the PG backbone, modifications installed at the UDP NAM intermediate can be used to selectively tag and manipulate this polymer via metabolic incorporation. However, synthetic and purification strategies to access large quantities of these PG building blocks, as well as their derivatives, are challenging. A robust chemoenzymatic synthesis was developed using an expanded NAM library to produce a variety of 2-N-functionalized UDP NAMs. In addition, a synthetic strategy to access bio-orthogonal 3-lactic acid NAM derivatives was developed. The chemoenzymatic UDP synthesis revealed that the bacterial cell wall recycling enzymes MurNAc/GlcNAc anomeric kinase (AmgK) and NAM α-1 phosphate uridylyl transferase (MurU) were permissive to permutations at the two and three positions of the sugar donor. We further explored the utility of these derivatives in the fluorescent labeling of both Gram (-) and Gram (+) PG in whole cells using a variety of bio-orthogonal chemistries including the tetrazine ligation. This report allows for rapid and scalable access to a variety of functionalized NAMs and UDP NAMs, which now can be used in tandem with other complementary bio-orthogonal labeling strategies to address fundamental questions surrounding PG's role in immunology and microbiology.
Linear synthesis of the branched pentasaccharide repeats of O-antigens from Shigella flexneri 1a and 1b demonstrating the major steric hindrance associated with type-specific glucosylation

Shigella flexneri serotypes 1b and 1a are Gram-negative enteroinvasive bacteria causing shigellosis in humans. The O-antigen from S. flexneri 1b is a {→2)-[3Ac/4Ac]-α-l-Rhap-(1→2)-α-l-Rhap-(1→3)-[2Ac]-α-l-Rhap-(1→3)-[α-d-Glcp-(1→4)]-β-d-GlcpNAc-(1→}n branched polysaccharide ({AcABAcC(E)D}n). It is identical to that from S. flexneri 1a, except for the 2C-acetate. A concise synthesis of the disaccharide ED, trisaccharides AcC(E)D and C(E)D, tetrasaccharides BAcC(E)D and BC(E)D, and pentasaccharides ABAcC(E)D and ABC(E)D is described starting from a 2-N-acetyl-d-glucosaminide acceptor and using the imidate glycosylation chemistry. The E residue was efficiently introduced via a potent stereoselective [E + D] coupling. In contrast, harsh conditions and appropriate tuning of the donor were required for a high yielding [C + ED] glycosylation. Irrespective of the level of steric bulk at residue C, glycosylation at O-3D of the ED acceptor generated a major change of conformation of the D residue within the obtained C(E)D trisaccharide, as attested by NMR data. Proper manipulation of the constrained C(E)D trisaccharide was necessary to proceed with the stepwise chain elongation at O-3C of an acceptor having the 2C-O-acetyl already in place. The protected intermediates went through a one- to three-step deprotection sequence to give the propyl glycoside targets, as portions of the O-antigens from both S. flexneri 1a and 1b. Protecting group removal was clearly associated with conformational relief, yielding oligosaccharides, for which NMR data were consistent with a 4C1 conformation for the 3,4-di-O-glycosylated residue D, as in the native bacterial polymers.

A variety of new glycosylglycerol derivatives have been prepared by stereoselective dihydroxylation of a range of alkenyl β-D-hexopyanosides under Donohoe's conditions. We have studied the relationship between the diastereoisomeric excess and the structural features of the precursor (sugar and alkenyl moieties). The stereochemical yields demonstrated that the presence of a hydrogen-bond donor group (OH, NHAc) at the 2-position of the sugar moiety is required to obtain high levels of stereofacial discrimination. New 1-O-acyl-3-O-β-D-glycosyl-sn-glycerol analogues were obtained by functionalisation of the primary hydroxy group with a fatty acid. Preliminary cytotoxic activity assays of both glycosylglycerol and glycoglycerolipid analogues are also presented. An efficient asymmetric dihydroxylation reaction of alkenyl β-D-hexopyranoside derivatives is described. New glycosylglycerol and glycoglycerolipid analogues have been synthesised by this methodology. Preliminary cytotoxic activity assays are presented. Copyright

Stereoselective syntheses of two 3-O-Gal sulfated trisaccharides GalNAc(1-4)[(3-SE)-Gal](1-3)GalNAc-O-All and GalNAc(1-4)[(3-SE)-Gal](1-4)Glc-O- All were accomplished through the use of three novel glycosyl acceptors, namely, allyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-2-deoxy-2-(2,2,2-trichloroethoxycarbonylamino) - d-galactopyranoside, methyl 2,6-di-O-benzoyl-3-O-naphthylmethyl - d-galactopyranoside and allyl 6-O-acetyl-2-O-benzoyl-3-O-naphthylmethyl - d-galactopyranosyl-(14)-2,3,6-tri-O-benzoyl - d-glucopyranoside. These sulfated trisaccharides were expected to act as potential reference compounds for human 4GalNAc transferase and can be effectively used as antigens when linked to KLH.

Matrix presented. 4-Fluorinated UDP-MurNAc pentapeptide, 2, has been synthesized. In our previous study, UDP-MurNAc pentapeptide analogue 1 was found to be incorporated into the bacterial cell wall through biosynthesis. Compound 2 showed growth-inhibition activity against Gram-positive bacteria when it was added to growth media at 0.01 mg/mL.

Two non-natural fluorinated 2-N-acetamidosugar nucleotides, uridine 5'-diphosphate (UDP) 2-acetamido-2,4-dideoxy-4-fluoro-alpha-D-glucopyranose (UDP-4-FGlcNAc) 1 and its galacto isomer (UDP-4-FGalNAc) 2, were enzymatically constructed by treating chemical

Allyl O-(β-D-galactopyranosyl)-(1-3)-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-α-D-galactopyranoside (8) was prepared in excellent yield from the corresponding galactosyl bromide (6, 7) and allyl 2-acetamido-4,6-benzylidine-2-deoxy-α-D-galactopyranoside (5) using Hg(CN)2 as a promoter. Compound 5 was obtained from N-acetylglucosamine 1 following sequential protecting group strategy and C-4 epimerization as a key step. Carboxylic acid functionalized T-antigen derivative 15, obtained by radical addition of 3-mercaptopionic acid to allyl disaccharide 10, was conjugated to PAMAM dendritic cores 13-16 by an efficient amide coupling strategy using TBTU. GlycoPAMAM dendrimers having T-antigen residues with 4, 8, 16 and 32 valencies (17-20) were obtained in 73 to 99% yields. Their protein binding properties were demonstrated using peanut lectin from Arachis hypogaea and a mouse monoclonal IgG antibody. The higher valency conjugates generated stronger binding interactions indicating a cluster effect. The inhibitory potential of these glycoPAMAM conjugates toward antibody-coating antigen interactions was enhanced up to 3800 times over that of the monomeric T-antigen residue (10). Copyright
Stereoselective synthesis of epoxyalkyl glycoside precursors of glycosyl glycerol analogues from alkenyl glycosides of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine derivatives
Vega-Perez, Jose M.,Candela, Jose I.,Blanco, Eugenia,Iglesias-Guerra, Fernando
, p. 2471 - 2483 (2007/10/03)
The synthesis of epoxyalkyl glycoside derivatives of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine is described. Epoxidation of the corresponding alkenyl glycosides with m-CPBA took place with different stereoselectivity depending on the nature of the unsaturated system and the protecting groups on the sugar moiety. The configuration of the newly formed stereogenic centres has been confirmed unequivocally by chemical correlation.
