Iminosugar C-glycoside analogues of ?-D-GlcNAc-1-phosphate: synthesis and bacterial transglycosylase inhibition.

ABSTRACT: We herein describe the first synthesis of iminosugar C-glycosides of ?-D-GlcNAc-1-phosphate in 10 steps starting from unprotected D-GlcNAc. A diastereoselective intramolecular iodoamination-cyclization as the key step was employed to construct the central piperidine ring of the iminosugar and the C-glycosidic structure of ?-D-GlcNAc. Finally, the iminosugar phosphonate and its elongated phosphate analogue were accessed. These phosphorus-containing iminosugars were coupled efficiently with lipophilic monophosphates to give lipid-linked pyrophosphate derivatives, which are lipid II mimetics endowed with potent inhibitory properties toward bacterial transglycosylases (TGase).

Thiol-ene "Click" Synthesis and Pharmacological Evaluation of C-Glycoside sp2-Iminosugar Glycolipids.

Project description:The unique stereoelectronic properties of sp2-iminosugars enable their participation in glycosylation reactions, thereby behaving as true carbohydrate chemical mimics. Among sp2-iminosugar conjugates, the sp2-iminosugar glycolipids (sp2-IGLs) have shown a variety of interesting pharmacological properties ranging from glycosidase inhibition to antiproliferative, antiparasitic, and anti-inflammatory activities. Developing strategies compatible with molecular diversity-oriented strategies for structure-activity relationship studies was therefore highly wanted. Here we show that a reaction sequence consisting in stereoselective C-allylation followed by thiol-ene "click" coupling provides a very convenient access to α-C-glycoside sp2-IGLs. Both the glycone moiety and the aglycone tail can be modified by using sp2-iminosugar precursors with different configurational profiles (d-gluco or d-galacto in this work) and varied thiols, as well as by oxidation of the sulfide adducts (to the corresponding sulfones in this work). A series of derivatives was prepared in this manner and their glycosidase inhibitory, antiproliferative and antileishmanial activities were evaluated in different settings. The results confirm that the inhibition of glycosidases, particularly α-glucosidase, and the antitumor/leishmanicidal activities are unrelated. The data are also consistent with the two later activities arising from the ability of the sp2-IGLs to interfere in the immune system response in a cell line and cell context dependent manner.

Gram-scale enzymatic synthesis of 2'-deoxyribonucleoside analogues using nucleoside transglycosylase-2.

Project description:Nucleosides are pervasive building blocks that are found throughout nature and used extensively in medicinal chemistry and biotechnology. However, the preparation of base-modified analogues using conventional synthetic methodology poses challenges in scale-up and purification. In this work, an integrated approach involving structural analysis, screening and reaction optimization, is established to prepare 2'-deoxyribonucleoside analogues catalysed by the type II nucleoside 2'-deoxyribosyltransferase from Lactobacillus leichmannii (LlNDT-2). Structural analysis in combination with substrate profiling, identified the constraints on pyrimidine and purine acceptor bases by LlNDT2. A solvent screen identifies pure water as a suitable solvent for the preparation of high value purine and pyrimidine 2'-deoxyribonucleoside analogues on a gram scale under optimized reaction conditions. This approach provides the basis to establish a convergent, step-efficient chemoenzymatic platform for the preparation of high value 2'-deoxyribonucleosides.

N-Alkylated Iminosugar Based Ligands: Synthesis and Inhibition of Human Lysosomal β-Glucocerebrosidase.

Project description:The scope of a series of N-alkylated iminosugar based inhibitors in the d-gluco as well as d-xylo configuration towards their interaction with human lysosomal β-glucocerebrosidase has been evaluated. A versatile synthetic toolbox has been developed for the synthesis of N-alkylated iminosugar scaffolds conjugated to a variety of terminal groups via a benzoic acid ester linker. The terminal groups such as nitrile, azide, alkyne, nonafluoro-tert-butyl and amino substituents enable follow-up chemistry as well as visualisation experiments. All compounds showed promising inhibitory properties as well as selectivities for β-glucosidases, some exhibiting activities in the low nanomolar range for β-glucocerebrosidase.

Synthesis and Glycosidase Inhibition Properties of Calix[8]arene-Based Iminosugar Click Clusters.

Project description:A set of 6- to 24-valent clusters was constructed with terminal deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) inhibitory heads through C6 or C9 linkers by way of Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reactions between mono- or trivalent azido-armed iminosugars and calix[8]arene scaffolds differing in their valency and their rigidity but not in their size. The power of multivalency to upgrade the inhibition potency of the weak DNJ inhibitor (monovalent DNJ Ki being at 322 and 188 µM for C6 or C9 linkers, respectively) was evaluated on the model glycosidase Jack Bean α-mannosidase (JBα-man). Although for the clusters with the shorter C6 linker the rigidity of the scaffold was essential, these parameters had no influence for clusters with C9 chains: all of them showed rather good relative affinity enhancements per inhibitory epitopes between 70 and 160 highlighting the sound combination of the calix[8]arene core and the long alkyl arms. Preliminary docking studies were performed to get insights into the preferred binding modes.

Catalytic Mechanism of a Novel Glycoside Hydrolase Family 16 "Elongating" β-Transglycosylase.

Project description:Carbohydrates are complex macromolecules in biological metabolism. Enzymatic synthesis of carbohydrates is recognized as a powerful tool to overcome the problems associated with large scale synthesis of carbohydrates. Novel enzymes with significant transglycosylation ability are still in great demand in glycobiology studies. Here we report a novel glycoside hydrolase family 16 "elongating" β-transglycosylase from Paecilomyces thermophila (PtBgt16A), which efficiently catalyzes the synthesis of higher polymeric oligosaccharides using β-1,3/1,4-oligosaccharides as donor/acceptor substrates. Further structural information reveals that PtBgt16A has a binding pocket around the -1 subsite. The catalytic mechanism of PtBgt16A is partly similar to an exo-glycoside hydrolase, which cleaves the substrate from the non-reducing end one by one. However, PtBgt16A releases the reducing end product and uses the remainder glucosyl as a transglycosylation donor. This catalytic mechanism has similarity with the catalytic mode of amylosucrase, which catalyzes the transglycosylation products gradually extend by one glucose unit. PtBgt16A thus has the potential to be a tool enzyme for the enzymatic synthesis of new β-oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates.

Enzymatic route to preparative-scale synthesis of UDP-GlcNAc/GalNAc, their analogues and GDP-fucose.

Project description:Enzymatic synthesis using glycosyltransferases is a powerful approach to building polysaccharides with high efficiency and selectivity. Sugar nucleotides are fundamental donor molecules in enzymatic glycosylation reactions by Leloir-type glycosyltransferases. The applications of these donors are restricted by their limited availability. In this protocol, N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc)/N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) are phosphorylated by N-acetylhexosamine 1-kinase (NahK) and subsequently pyrophosphorylated by N-acetylglucosamine uridyltransferase (GlmU) to give UDP-GlcNAc/GalNAc. Other UDP-GlcNAc/GalNAc analogues can also be prepared depending on the tolerance of these enzymes to the modified sugar substrates. Starting from L-fucose, GDP-fucose is constructed by one bifunctional enzyme L-fucose pyrophosphorylase (FKP) via two reactions.

Phenylpropanoid glycoside analogues: enzymatic synthesis, antioxidant activity and theoretical study of their free radical scavenger mechanism.

Project description:Phenylpropanoid glycosides (PPGs) are natural compounds present in several medicinal plants that have high antioxidant power and diverse biological activities. Because of their low content in plants (less than 5% w/w), several chemical synthetic routes to produce PPGs have been developed, but their synthesis is a time consuming process and the achieved yields are often low. In this study, an alternative and efficient two-step biosynthetic route to obtain natural PPG analogues is reported for the first time. Two galactosides were initially synthesized from vanillyl alcohol and homovanillyl alcohol by a transgalactosylation reaction catalyzed by Kluyveromyces lactis β-galactosidase in saturated lactose solutions with a 30%-35% yield. To synthesize PPGs, the galactoconjugates were esterified with saturated and unsaturated hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives using Candida antarctica Lipase B (CaL-B) as a biocatalyst with 40%-60% yields. The scavenging ability of the phenolic raw materials, intermediates and PPGs was evaluated by the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH•) method. It was found that the biosynthesized PPGs had higher scavenging abilities when compared to ascorbic acid, the reference compound, while their antioxidant activities were found similar to that of natural PPGs. Moreover, density functional theory (DFT) calculations were used to determine that the PPGs antioxidant mechanism proceeds through a sequential proton loss single electron transfer (SPLET). The enzymatic process reported in this study is an efficient and versatile route to obtain PPGs from different phenylpropanoid acids, sugars and phenolic alcohols.

Synthesis and evaluation of eight- and four-membered iminosugar analogues as inhibitors of testicular ceramide-specific glucosyltransferase, testicular ?-glucosidase 2, and other glycosidases.

Project description:Eight- and four-membered analogues of N-butyldeoxynojirimycin (NB-DNJ), a reversible male contraceptive in mice, were prepared and tested. A chiral pool approach was used for the synthesis of the target compounds. Key steps for the synthesis of the eight-membered analogues involve ring-closing metathesis and Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation and for the four-membered analogues Sharpless epoxidation, epoxide ring-opening (azide), and Mitsunobu reaction to form the four-membered ring. (3S,4R,5S,6R,7R)-1-Nonylazocane-3,4,5,6,7-pentaol (6) was moderately active against rat-derived ceramide-specific glucosyltransferase, and four of the other eight-membered analogues were weakly active against rat-derived ?-glucosidase 2. Among the four-membered analogues, ((2R,3S,4S)-3-hydroxy-1-nonylazetidine-2,4-diyl)dimethanol (25) displayed selective inhibitory activity against mouse-derived ceramide-specific glucosyltransferase and was about half as potent as NB-DNJ against the rat-derived enzyme. ((2S,4S)-3-Hydroxy-1-nonylazetidine-2,4-diyl)dimethanol (27) was found to be a selective inhibitor of ?-glucosidase 2, with potency similar to NB-DNJ. Additional glycosidase assays were performed to identify potential other therapeutic applications. The eight-membered iminosugars exhibited specificity for almond-derived ?-glucosidase, and the 1-nonylazetidine 25 inhibited ?-glucosidase (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) with an IC(50) of 600 nM and ?-glucosidase (almond) with an IC(50) of 20 ?M. Only N-nonyl derivatives were active, emphasizing the importance of a long lipophilic side chain for inhibitory activity of the analogues studied.
