Programmable One-Pot Synthesis of Heparin Pentasaccharide Fondaparinux.

ABSTRACT: The clinically approved Fondaparinux (Arixtra) has been used for the treatment of deep vein thrombosis and acute pulmonary embolism since 2002 and is considered to be better than the low-molecular weight heparin in terms of anticoagulation response, duration of action, and biosafety. However, the synthetic methods previously developed for its manufacture are relatively complicated, thus restricting its extensive use. We report here a potentially scalable and programmable one-pot synthesis of Fondaparinux using the [1,2,2] strategy and designed thioglycosides with well-defined reactivity as building blocks.

Project description:Heparin (HP) and heparan sulfate (HS) play important roles in many biological events. Increasing evidence has shown that the biological functions of HP and HS can be critically dependent upon their precise structures, including the position of the iduronic acids and sulfation patterns. However, unraveling the HP code has been extremely challenging due to the enormous structural variations. To overcome this hurdle, we investigated the possibility of assembling a library of HP/HS oligosaccharides using a preactivation-based, one-pot glycosylation method. A major challenge in HP/HS oligosaccharide synthesis is stereoselectivity in the formation of the cis-1,4-linkages between glucosamine and the uronic acid. Through screening, suitable protective groups were identified on the matching glycosyl donor and acceptor, leading to stereospecific formation of both the cis-1,4- and trans-1,4-linkages present in HP. The protective group chemistry designed was also very flexible. From two advanced thioglycosyl disaccharide intermediates, all of the required disaccharide modules for library preparation could be generated in a divergent manner, which greatly simplified building-block preparation. Furthermore, the reactivity-independent nature of the preactivation-based, one-pot approach enabled us to mix the building blocks. This allowed rapid assembly of twelve HP/HS hexasaccharides with systematically varied and precisely controlled backbone structures in a combinatorial fashion. The speed and the high yields achieved in glycoassembly without the need to use a large excess of building blocks highlighted the advantages of our approach, which can be of general use to facilitate the study of HP/HS biology. As a proof of principle, this panel of hexasaccharides was used to probe the effect of backbone sequence on binding with the fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2). A trisaccharide sequence of 2-O-sulfated iduronic acid flanked by N-sulfated glucosamines was identified to be the minimum binding motif and N-sulfation was found to be critical. This provides useful information for further development of more potent compounds towards FGF-2 binding, which can have potential applications in wound healing and anticancer therapy.
