The Glycosylation Mechanisms of 6,3‐Uronic Acid Lactones

Uronic acids are important constituents of polysaccharides found on the cell membranes of different organisms. To prepare uronic‐acid‐containing oligosaccharides, uronic acid 6,3‐lactones can be employed as they display a fixed conformation and a unique reactivity and stereoselectivity. Herein, we report a highly β‐selective and efficient mannosyl donor based on C‐4 acetyl mannuronic acid 6,3‐lactone donors. The mechanism of glycosylation is established using a combination of techniques, including infrared ion spectroscopy combined with quantum‐chemical calculations and variable‐temperature nuclear magnetic resonance (VT NMR) spectroscopy. The role of these intermediates in glycosylation is assayed by varying the activation protocol and acceptor nucleophilicity. The observed trends are analogous to the well‐studied 4,6‐benzylidene glycosides and may be used to guide the development of next‐generation stereoselective glycosyl donors.

Simultaneous Estimation of 4-O-Methyl-D-Glucuronic Acid and Other Uronic Acids By Gas-Liquid Chromatography

Abstract

Uronic acids in polysaccharides may be reduced by reaction of the propionated methyl ester with lithium borohydride in tetrahydrofuran. After hydrolysis and reduction of the monosaccharides the acetylated alditols may be separated by gas-liquid chromatography on a column of butanediol succinate. The method permits the simultaneous estimation of 4-O-methyl-D-glucuronic acid, glucuronic and galacturonic acids.     

Macrocyclic Ionic Liquids with Amino Acid Residues: Synthesis and Influence of Thiacalix[4]arene Conformation on Thermal Stability

Novel thiacalix[4]arene based ammonium ionic liquids (ILs) containing amino acid residues (glycine and L-phenylalanine) in cone, partial cone, and 1,3-alternate conformations were synthesized by alkylation of macrocyclic tertiary amines with N-bromoacetyl-amino acids ethyl ester followed by replacing bromide anions with bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ions. The melting temperature of the obtained ILs was found in the range of 50–75 °C. The effect of macrocyclic core conformation on the synthesized ILs’ melting points was shown, i.e., the ILs in partial cone conformation have the lowest melting points. Thermal stability of the obtained macrocyclic ILs was determined via thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry. The onset of decomposition of the synthesized compounds was established at 305–327 °C. The compounds with L-phenylalanine residues are less thermally stable by 3–19 °C than the same glycine-containing derivatives.     

Synthesis of N-Acetylallosamine-Derived Disaccharides

The protected disaccharide 44 , a precursor for the synthesis of allosamidin, was prepared from the glycosyl acceptor 8 and the donors 26–28 , best yields being obtained with the trichloroacetimidate 28 (Scheme 6). Glycosidation of 8 or of 32 by the triacetylated, less reactive donors 38–40 gave the disaccharides 46 and 45 , respectively, in lower yields (Scheme 7). Regioselective glycosidation of the diol 35 by the donors 38–40 gave 42 , the axial, intramolecularly H-bonded OH? C(3) group reacting exclusively (Scheme 5). The glycosyl acceptor 8 was prepared from 9 by reductive opening of the dioxolane ring (Scheme 3). The donors 26–28 were prepared from the same precursor 9 via the hemiacetal 25 . To obtain 9 , the known 10 was de-N-acetylated (→ 18 ), treated with phthalic anhydride (→ 19 ), and benzylated, leading to 9 and 23 (Schemes 2 and 3). Saponification of 23 , followed by acetylation also gave 9 . Depending upon the conditions, acetylation of 19 yielded a mixture of 20 and 21 or exclusively 20 . Deacetylation of 20 led to the hydroxyphthalamide 22 . De-N-acetylation of the 3-O-benzylated β-D -glycosides 11 and 15 , which were both obtained from 10 , was very sluggish and accompanied by partial reduction of the O-allyl to an O-propyl group (Scheme 2). The β-D -glycoside 30 behaved very similarly to 11 and 15 . Reductive ring opening of 31 , derived from 29 , yielded the 3-O-acetylated acceptor 32 , while the analogous reaction of the β-D -anomer 20 was accompanied by a rapid 3-O→4-O acyl migration (→ 34 ; Scheme 4). Reductive ring opening of 21 gave the diol 35 . The triacetylated donors 38–40 were obtained from 20 by debenzylidenation, acetylation (→ 36 ), and deallylation (→ 37 ), followed by either acetylation (→ 38 ), treatment with Me₃SiSEt (→ 39 ), or Cl₃CCN (→ 40 ).

Novel Disaccharides Containing 3-Deoxy-D-Manno-2-Octulosonic Acid (KDO) and Lipid a Subunit Analogs

Abstract

3-Deoxy-D-manno-2-octulosonic acid (KDO)₁ is a prominent constituent of bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS),₂ and recently it has been demonstrated _3,4 that the KDO part in the core region of LPS is α-ketosidically linked to 0-6′ of the o-glucosamine-disaccharide backbone of lipid A. Although the portion, including KDO, has been suggested_5,6 to be necessary for expression of antitumor and interleukin 1 (IL 1)-induction activities of LPS, the disticnt biological roles of KDO in LPS are still obscure.     

Chemical Modification of Amino Acid Residues in Human Plasminogen

The chemical modification of human plasminogen (HPg) was studied with 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC), N-acetylimidazole (NAI), 1,2-cyclohexanedione (CHD), chloramine T(Ch-T)and N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) as modifying reagents at its carboxyl group, tyrosine, arginine, methionine and tryptophan residues, respectively. The results indicate that tyrosine and arginine residues are not essential for HPg activity, while carboxyl groups, methionine and tryptophan residues are important for the activi-ty of HPg. The Keech and Farrant‘s kinetic analysis reveals that one tryptophan residue, one methionine residue and two carboxyl groups are essential for HPg activity.     

Spectroscopic Study of the Conformation of 2-Anilino-2-ethoxy-3-oxothiobutyric Acid Anilides

Summary.  An NMR study of the equilibriummixture of two conformers of 2-anilino-2-ethoxy-3-oxothiobutyric acid anilides 3 allows to estimate their population ratio in solvents of increasing polarity. X-Ray analysis as well as IR spectroscopy confirmed that the conformer present in the solid state is stabilized by two hydrogen bonds. The structural basis of the second conformer observed in solution is the 1,4-type S⋯O interaction between the sulfur of the thioanilide moiety and the oxygen of the ethoxy group with a distance of 2.878 ?.

Single Stage Tandem Mass Spectrometry Assignment of the C-5 Uronic Acid Stereochemistry in Heparan Sulfate Tetrasaccharides using Electron Detachment Dissociation

The analysis of heparan sulfate (HS) glycosaminoglycans presents many challenges, due to the high degree of structural heterogeneity arising from their non-template biosynthesis. Complete structural elucidation of glycosaminoglycans necessitates the unambiguous assignments of sulfo modifications and the C-5 uronic acid stereochemistry. Efforts to develop tandem mass spectrometric-based methods for the structural analysis of glycosaminoglycans have focused on the assignment of sulfo positions. The present work focuses on the assignment of the C-5 stereochemistry of the uronic acid that lies closest to the reducing end. Prior work with electron-based tandem mass spectrometry methods, specifically electron detachment dissociation (EDD), have shown great promise in providing stereo-specific product ions, such as the B₃ ^´ –CO₂, which has been found to distinguish glucuronic acid (GlcA) from iduronic acid (IdoA) in some HS tetrasaccharides. The previously observed diagnostic ions are generally not observed with 2-O-sulfo uronic acids or for more highly sulfated heparan sulfate tetrasaccharides. A recent study using electron detachment dissociation and principal component analysis revealed a series of ions that correlate with GlcA versus IdoA for a set of 2-O-sulfo HS tetrasaccharide standards. The present work comprehensively investigates the efficacy of these ions for assigning the C-5 stereochemistry of the reducing end uronic acid in 33 HS tetrasaccharides. A diagnostic ratio can be computed from the sum of the ions that correlate to GlcA to those that correlate to IdoA.

Benzylidene Acetal Protecting Group as Carboxylic Acid Surrogate: Synthesis of Functionalized Uronic Acids and Sugar Amino Acids

Direct oxidation of the 4,6‐O‐benzylidene acetal protecting group to C‐6 carboxylic acid has been developed that provides an easy access to a wide range of biologically important and synthetically challenging uronic acid and sugar amino acid derivatives in good yields. The RuCl₃–NaIO₄‐mediated oxidative cleavage method eliminates protection and deprotection steps and the reaction takes place under mild conditions. The dual role of the benzylidene acetal, as a protecting group and source of carboxylic acid, was exploited in the efficient synthesis of six‐carbon sialic acid analogues and disaccharides bearing uronic acids, including glycosaminoglycan analogues.
