Base-Promoted Glycosylation Allows Protecting Group-Free and Stereoselective O-Glycosylation of Carboxylic Acids**

Here we report a simple and general method to achieve fully unprotected, stereoselective glycosylation of carboxylic acids, employing bench-stable allyl glycosyl sulfones as donors. Running the glycosylation reaction under basic conditions was crucial for the efficiencies and selectivities. Both the donor activation stage and the glycosidic bond forming stage of the process are compatible with free hydroxyl groups, thereby allowing for the use of fully unprotected glycosyl donors. This transformation is stereoconvergent, occurs under mild and metal-free conditions at ambient temperature with visible light (455 nm) irradiation, and displays remarkable scope with respect to both reaction partners. Many natural products and commercial drugs, including an acid derived from the complex anticancer agent taxol, were efficiently glycosylated. Experimental studies provide insights into the origin of the stereochemical outcome.     

Synthesis and biological evaluation of substituted indazolyl amide derivatives as S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine hydrolase inhibitors

A series of novel amide derivatives bearing an indazole moiety were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine hydrolase (SAHase) inhibitory activity. Among these compounds, 8b, 8m, 8r and 8w showed better or similar inhibitory effects compared to the positive control aristeromycin. These results provide a novel lead for the discovery of more potent non-adenosine analogs as SAHase inhibitors.     

Structure-function relationships of a catalytically efficient β-<Emphasis Type="SmallCaps">D</Emphasis>-xylosidase

β-d-Xylosidase from Selenomonas ruminantium is revealed as the best catalyst known (k _cat, k _cat/K _m) for promoting hydrolysis of 1,4-β-d-xylooligosaccharides. ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance experiments indicate the family 43 glycoside hydrolase acts through an inversion mechanism on substrates 4-nitrophenyl-β-d-xylopyranoside (4NPX) and 1,4-β-d-xylobiose (X2). Progress curves of 4-nitrophenyl-β-d-xylobioside, xylotetraose and xylohexaose reactions indicate that one residue from the nonreducing end of substrate is cleaved per catalytic cycle without processivity. Values of k _cat and k _cat/K _m decrease for xylooligosaccharides longer than X2, illustrating the importance to catalysis of subsites −1 and +1 and the lack there of subsite +2. Homology models of the enzyme active site with docked substrates show that subsites bey ond−1 are blocked by protein and subsites bey ond +1 are not formed; they suggest that D14 and E186 serve catalysis as general base and general acid, respectively. Individual mutations, D14A and E186A, erode k _cat and k _cat/K _m by <10³ and to asimilar extent for substrates 4NPX and 4-nitrophenyl-α-l-arabinofuranoside (4NPA), indicating that the two substrates share the same active site. With 4NPX and 4NPA, pH governs k _cat/K _m with pK _a values of 5.0 and 7.0 assigned to D14 and E186, respectively. k _cat (4NPX) has a pK _a value of 7.0 and k _cat (4NPA) is pH independent above pH 4.0, suggesting that the catalytically inactive, “dianionic” enzyme form (D14-E187-) binds 4NPX but not 4NPA.
