Automated Glycan Assembly in a Variable-Bed Flow Reactor Provides Insights into Oligosaccharide-Resin Interactions.

ABSTRACT: A pressure-based variable-bed flow reactor built for peptide synthesis and capable of real-time monitoring of resin swelling was adapted for automated glycan assembly. In the context of the solid-phase synthesis of several oligosaccharides, the coupling efficiencies, resin growth patterns, and saccharide solvation during the synthesis were determined. The presented work provides the first estimation of on-resin oligosaccharide solvation and an alternative technique to UV-vis monitoring.

Automated glycan assembly of Lewis type I and II oligosaccharide antigens.

Project description:Human blood group related glycan antigens are fucosylated (neo-)lactoseries oligosaccharides that play crucial roles in pathogenic processes. Lewis type-II-chain antigens mark the surface of cancer cells, but are also mediators of bacterial infections. To investigate the biological roles of Lewis type glycans a host of synthetic approaches has been developed. Here, we illustrate how automated glycan assembly (AGA) using a set of six monosaccharide building blocks provides quick access to a series of more than ten defined Lewis type-I and type-II antigens, including Lex, Ley, Lea, Leb and KH-1. Glycans with up to three α-fucose branches were assembled following a strictly linear approach and obtained in excellent stereoselectivity and purity.

Automated Glycan Assembly of Oligogalactofuranosides Reveals the Influence of Protecting Groups on Oligosaccharide Stability.

Project description:Galactofurans are an important structural constituent of arabinogalactan and lipopolysaccharides (LPS) ubiquitously present on the envelopes of all Mycobacteria. Key to the automated glycan assembly (AGA) of linear galactofuranosides as long as 20-mers was the identification of thioglycoside building blocks with a fine balance of stereoelectronic and steric effects to ensure the stability of oligogalactofuranoside during the synthesis. A benzoylated galactofuranose thioglycoside building block proved most efficient for oligosaccharide construction.

Microwave-Assisted Automated Glycan Assembly.

Project description:Automated synthesis of DNA, RNA, and peptides provides quickly and reliably important tools for biomedical research. Automated glycan assembly (AGA) is significantly more challenging, as highly branched carbohydrates require strict regio- and stereocontrol during synthesis. A new AGA synthesizer enables rapid temperature adjustment from -40 to +100 °C to control glycosylations at low temperature and accelerates capping, protecting group removal, and glycan modifications using elevated temperatures. Thereby, the temporary protecting group portfolio is extended from two to four orthogonal groups that give rise to oligosaccharides with up to four branches. In addition, sulfated glycans and unprotected glycans can be prepared. The new design reduces the typical coupling cycles from 100 to 60 min while expanding the range of accessible glycans. The instrument drastically shortens and generalizes the synthesis of carbohydrates for use in biomedical and material science.

Heterogeneous metallaphotoredox catalysis in a continuous-flow packed-bed reactor.

Project description:Metallaphotoredox catalysis is a powerful and versatile synthetic platform that enables cross-couplings under mild conditions without the need for noble metals. Its growing adoption in drug discovery has translated into an increased interest in sustainable and scalable reaction conditions. Here, we report a continuous-flow approach to metallaphotoredox catalysis using a heterogeneous catalyst that combines the function of a photo- and a nickel catalyst in a single material. The catalyst is embedded in a packed-bed reactor to combine reaction and (catalyst) separation in one step. The use of a packed bed simplifies the translation of optimized batch reaction conditions to continuous flow, as the only components present in the reaction mixture are the substrate and a base. The metallaphotoredox cross-coupling of sulfinates with aryl halides was used as a model system. The catalyst was shown to be stable, with a very low decrease of the yield (≈1% per day) during a continuous experiment over seven days, and to be effective for C-O arylations when carboxylic acids are used as nucleophile instead of sulfinates.

Alkylation of Benzene with Propylene in a Flow-Through Membrane Reactor and Fixed-Bed Reactor: Preliminary Results.

Project description:Benzene alkylation with propylene was studied in the gas phase using a catalytic membrane reactor and a fixed-bed reactor in the temperature range of 200-300 °C and with a weight hourly space velocity (WHSV) of 51 h-1. β-zeolite was prepared by hydrothermal synthesis using silica, aluminum metal and TEAOH as precursors. The membrane's XRD patterns showed good crystallinity for the β-zeolite film, while scanning electron microscopy SEM results indicated that its random polycrystalline film was approximately 1 μm thick. The powders' specific area was determined to be 400 m²×g-1 by N₂ adsorption/desorption, and the TPD results indicated an overall acidity of 3.4 mmol NH₃×g-1. Relative to the powdered catalyst, the catalytic membrane showed good activity and product selectivity for cumene.

Total Synthesis of Polysaccharides by Automated Glycan Assembly.

Project description:Polysaccharides are the most abundant biopolymers on earth that serve various structural and modulatory functions. Pure, completely defined linear and branched polysaccharides are essential to understand carbohydrate structure and function. Polysaccharide isolation provides heterogeneous mixtures, while heroic efforts were required to complete chemical and/or enzymatic syntheses of polysaccharides as long 92-mers. Here, we show that automated glycan assembly (AGA) enables access to a 100-mer polysaccharide via a 201-step synthesis within 188 h. Convergent block coupling of 30- and 31-mer oligosaccharide fragments, prepared by AGA, yielded a multiple-branched 151-mer polymannoside. Quick access to polysaccharides provides the basis for future material science applications of carbohydrates.

Automated glycan assembly using the Glyconeer 2.1 synthesizer.

Project description:Reliable and rapid access to defined biopolymers by automated DNA and peptide synthesis has fundamentally altered biological research and medical practice. Similarly, the procurement of defined glycans is key to establishing structure-activity relationships and thereby progress in the glycosciences. Here, we describe the rapid assembly of oligosaccharides using the commercially available Glyconeer 2.1 automated glycan synthesizer, monosaccharide building blocks, and a linker-functionalized polystyrene solid support. Purification and quality-control protocols for the oligosaccharide products have been standardized. Synthetic glycans prepared in this way are useful reagents as the basis for glycan arrays, diagnostics, and carbohydrate-based vaccines.

Automated glycan assembly of arabinomannan oligosaccharides from Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Project description:Arabinomannan (AM) polysaccharides are clinical biomarkers for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infections due to their roles in the interaction with host cells and interference with macrophage activation. Collections of defined AM oligosaccharides can help to improve the understanding of these polysaccharides and the development of novel therapeutical and diagnostic agents. Automated glycan assembly (AGA) was employed to prepare the core structure of AM from MTB, containing ?-(1,6)-Man, ?-(1,5)-Ara, and ?-(1,2)-Man linkages. The introduction of a capping step after each glycosylation and further optimized reaction conditions allowed for the synthesis of a series of oligosaccharides, ranging from hexa- to branched dodecasaccharides.

Enzymatic Building-Block Synthesis for Solid-Phase Automated Glycan Assembly.

Project description:Automated chemical oligosaccharide synthesis is an attractive concept that has been successfully applied to a large number of target structures, but requires excess quantities of suitably protected and activated building blocks. Herein we demonstrate the use of biocatalysis to supply such reagents for automated synthesis. By using the promiscuous NmLgtB-B β1-4 galactosyltransferase from Neisseria meningitidis we demonstrate fast and robust access to the LacNAc motif, common to many cell-surface glycans, starting from either lactose or sucrose as glycosyl donors. The enzymatic product was shown to be successfully incorporated as a complete unit into a tetrasaccharide target by automated assembly.

Systematic Structural Characterization of Chitooligosaccharides Enabled by Automated Glycan Assembly.

Project description:Chitin, a polymer composed of β(1-4)-linked N-acetyl-glucosamine monomers, and its partially deacetylated analogue chitosan, are abundant biopolymers with outstanding mechanical as well as elastic properties. Their degradation products, chitooligosaccharides (COS), can trigger the innate immune response in humans and plants. Both material and biological properties are dependent on polymer length, acetylation, as well as the pH. Without well-defined samples, a complete molecular description of these factors is still missing. Automated glycan assembly (AGA) enabled rapid access to synthetic well-defined COS. Chitin-cellulose hybrid oligomers were prepared as important tools for a systematic structural analysis. Intramolecular interactions, identified by molecular dynamics simulations and NMR analysis, underscore the importance of the chitosan amino group for the stabilization of specific geometries.
