Synthesis of branched Man5 oligosaccharides and an unusual stereochemical observation.

ABSTRACT: Branched mannopentaoses were synthesized through two routes. While assembly from the nonreducing end to the reducing end was more convergent with fewer intermediate steps, two diastereomers were obtained. On the other hand, synthesis from the reducing end to the nonreducing end yielded the mannopentaose with the desired stereochemistry as a single isomer. Our results suggest that it is still challenging to reliably predict stereochemical outcome of a glycosylation reaction. It is necessary to thoroughly characterize anomeric configurations of newly formed glycosidic linkages in complex oligosaccharide synthesis.

A Convergent Synthesis of 6-O-Branched ?-Glucan Oligosaccharides.

Project description:?-Glucans are important carbohydrate antigens on the surface of fungal cells useful for antifungal vaccine development. This paper has described a highly convergent and efficient strategy for the synthesis of structurally defined branched ?-glucan oligosaccharides that can be used for detailed studies of ?-glucans and for the design of ?-glucan-based vaccines. The strategy was highlighted by assembling the title compounds via preactivation-based glycosylation with thioglycosides as glycosyl donors. It was used to successfully prepare ?-glucan oligosaccharides that had a ?-1,3-linked nonaglucan backbone with ?-1,6-glucotetraose, ?-1,3-glucodiose and ?-1,3-glucotetraose branches at the 6-O-position of the nonaglucan central sugar unit. The structure and size of the glycosyl donors and acceptors used in the syntheses did not significantly affect the glycosylation efficiency, suggesting that the strategy can be generally useful for the synthesis of more complex structures.

Facile synthesis of saponins containing 2,3-branched oligosaccharides by using partially protected glycosyl donors.

Project description:Two natural saponins 1 and 2, isolated from Solanum indicum L., and containing 2,3-branched sugar moieties, have been efficiently synthesized. Partially protected monosaccharide and disaccharide donors were used to facilitate target synthesis. Stereo factors were critical in incorporating 2,3-branched sugars on steroid aglycones. Saponin 1 was synthesized in five steps and 30% overall yield, while saponin 2 was obtained using six straightforward sequential reactions in 31% overall yield. Saponin 2 shows promising cytotoxic activity toward human hepatocellular carcinoma BEL-7402 with an IC50 of <6 microg/mL.

Synthesis and Stereochemical Assignment of Arenolide.

Project description:The convergent synthesis of candidate stereoisomers of the natural product arenolide was accomplished using recently developed catalytic boron-based reactions. Comparison of the spectral data for candidate structures with that reported for the authentic natural product revealed the likely stereostructure of the natural compound.

Synthesis and stereochemical assignment of (+)-chamuvarinin.

Project description:A stereocontrolled total synthesis of (+)-chamuvarinin, isolated from the root extract of Uvaria Chamae, utilizes a convergent modular strategy to construct the adjacently linked C15-C28 ether array, followed by a late-stage Julia-Kocienski olefination to append the butenolide motif. This constitutes the first total synthesis of (+)-chamuvarinin, defining the relative and absolute configuration of this unique annonaceous acetogenin.

An Unusual Carbohydrate Conformation is Evident in Moraxella catarrhalis Oligosaccharides.

Project description:Oligosaccharide structures derived from the lipooligosaccharide of M. catarrhalis show that the highly branched glucose-rich inner core of the oligosaccharide has an altered conformation compared to the most truncated tetra-glucose-Kdo lgt1/4Δ oligosaccharide structure. Addition of one residue each to the (1-4) and (1-6) chains to give the lgt2Δ oligosaccharide is the minimum requirement for this conformational change to occur. Extensive molecular modeling and NMR investigations have shown that the (1-3), (1-4), and (1-6) glycosidic linkages from the central α-D-Glcp have significantly altered conformational preferences between the two structures. For the lgt1/4Δ oligosaccharide the (1-3) and (1-4) linkage populates predominantly the syn minimum on the conformational free energy map and for the (1-6) linkage conformational flexibility is observed, which is supported by 1H-NMR T1 measurements. For the lgt2Δ oligosaccharide the unusual "(1-4)anti-ψ(1-6)gg" conformation, which could be confirmed by long-range NOE signals, is a dominant conformation in which the oligosaccharide is very compact with the terminal α-D-GlcNAc residue folding back towards the center of the molecule leading to an extensive intra-molecular hydrophobic interaction between the terminal residues. Comparing effective H-H distances, which were calculated for conformational sub-ensembles, with the NOE distances revealed that typically multiple conformations could be present without significantly violating the measured NOE restraints. For lgt2Δ the presence of more than one conformation is supported by the NOE data.

Total Synthesis and Stereochemical Assignment of Streptide.

Project description:Streptide (1) is a peptide-derived macrocyclic natural product that has attracted considerable attention since its discovery in 2015. It contains an unprecedented post-translational modification that intramolecularly links the β-carbon (C3) of a residue 2 lysine with the C7 of a residue 6 tryptophan, thereby forming a 20-membered cyclic peptide. Herein, we report the first total synthesis of streptide that confirms the regiochemistry of the lysine-tryptophan cross-link and provides an unambiguous assignment of the stereochemistry (3R vs 3S) of the lysine-2 C3 center. Both the 3R and the originally assigned 3S lysine diastereomers were independently prepared by total synthesis, and it is the former, not the latter, that was found to correlate with the natural product. The approach enlists a powerful Pd(0)-mediated indole annulation for the key macrocyclization of the complex core peptide, utilizes an underdeveloped class of hypervalent iodine(III) aryl substrates in a palladium-catalyzed C-H activation/β-arylation reaction conducted on a lysine derivative, and provides access to material with which the role of streptide and related natural products may be examined.

Automated synthesis of sialylated oligosaccharides.

Project description:Sialic acid-containing glycans play a major role in cell-surface interactions with external partners such as cells and viruses. Straightforward access to sialosides is required in order to study their biological functions on a molecular level. Here, automated oligosaccharide synthesis was used to facilitate the preparation of this class of biomolecules. Our strategy relies on novel sialyl α-(2→3) and α-(2→6) galactosyl imidates, which, used in combination with the automated platform, provided rapid access to a small library of conjugation-ready sialosides of biological relevance.

Project description:The total synthesis of the highly degraded steroidal natural product, aplykurodinone-1 (1), has been accomplished. Key features include a one-flask hydrolysis/retro-aldol/iodolactonization sequence to excise the C(8) hydroxymethylene functionality with retention of stereochemistry and the stereoselective installation of the C(13) methyl group through hydrogenation with homogeneous catalyst.

Total Synthesis and Stereochemical Assignment of Nostosin B.

Project description:Nostosins A and B were isolated from a hydrophilic extract of Nostoc sp. strain from Iran, which exhibits excellent tryps inhibitory activity. Nostosin A was the most potent natural tripeptide aldehyde as trypsin inhibitor up to now. Both R- and S-2-hydroxy-4-(4-hydroxy-phenyl) butanoic acid (Hhpba) were prepared and incorporated into the total synthesis of nostosin B, respectively. Careful comparison of the NMR spectra and optical rotation data of synthetic nostosin B (1a and 1b) with the natural product led to the unambiguous identification of the R-configuration of the Hhpba fragment, which was further confirmed by co-injection with the authentic sample on HPLC using both reversed phase column and the chiral AD-RH column.

Total synthesis and stereochemical assignment of (±)-sorbiterrin A.

Project description:A concise, biomimetic approach to sorbiterrin A has been developed employing consecutive Michael additions of a 4-hydroxypyrone to a sorbicillinol derivative and silver nanoparticle-mediated bridged aldol/dehydration to construct the [3.3.1] ring system. The relative stereochemistry of sorbiterrin A was unambiguously confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis.
