Synthesis of GDP-5-thiosugars and Their Use as Glycosyl Donor Substrates for Glycosyltransferases
摘要:
Two thiopyranoside analogues of GDP-sugars, GDP-5-thio-D-mannose (14) and GDP-5-thio-L-fucose (15), were synthesized. The syntheses included the phosphorylations of tetra-O-acetyl-5-thio-D-mannosyl bromide (4) and tri-O-benzoyl-L-fucosyl bromide (6) with silver dibenzyl phosphate, deprotection of the phosphate groups, and condensation of the deprotected phosphates with GMP-imidazolidate (13) in the presence of MgCl2. These GDP-sugar analogues were found to be donor substrates for alpha(1,2)mannosyltransferase and alpha(1,3)fucosyltransferase, affording a 5-thiomannose-containing disaccharide (18) and a 5-thiofucose-containing trisaccharide (21), respectively. The conformation of the disaccharide analogue 18 was similar to that of its native counterpart by ROESY. These findings for GDP-5-thiosugars together with previous demonstrations of enzymatic transfer from UDP-5-thiosugars will allow the production of panels of oligosaccharide analogues with hydrolase-resistant properties.

Five 5-thio-alpha-L-fucopyranosyl derivatives were prepared and examined as inhibitors of the alpha-L-fucosidase from bovine epididymis. The inhibitory activities of the fucosides strongly depend on the hydrophobicity of the aglycon. The best inhibition (K-i = 3.3 mu M) was obtained with p-nitrophenyl 1,5-dithio-alpha-L-fucopyranoside. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd.
