A panel of octyl oligosaccharides comprised of arabinofuranose rings have been synthesized via efficient and readily scaleable routes. The key glycosylation reactions involved the coupling of octyl glycoside acceptors with the appropriate thioglycosides using N-iodosuccinimide and silver triflate activation. These syntheses were undertaken to provide substrates suitable for use in assays of mycobacterial arabinosyltransferases. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

The synthesis of a panel of oligosaccharides containing C-5 arabinofuranosyl residues (9-20) is described. These compounds are of interest as potential inhibitors of the alpha-(I --> 5)-arabinosyltransferase involved in the assembly of mycobacterial cell-wall arabinan. In the series of compounds prepared, the 5-OH group on the nonreducing residue(s) is replaced, independently, with an amino, azido. fluoro, or methoxy functionality. The synthesis of the target compounds involved the preparation of a series of C-5 modified arabinofuranosyl thioglycosides (24-26) and their subsequent coupling to the appropriate acceptor species (21-23). Deprotection of the glycosylation products afforded the azido, fluoro, or methoxy analogs directly. The amino derivatives were obtained in one additional step by reduction of the azido compounds.

The assembly of the arabinan portions of cell wall polysaccharicles in mycobacteria involves a family of arabinosyltransferases (AraT's) that promote the polymerization of decaprenolphosphoarabinose. Mycobacterial viability depends upon the ability of the organism to synthesize an intact arabinan and thus compounds that inhibit these AraT's are both useful biochemical tools as well as potential lead compounds for new anti-tuberculosis agents. We describe here the preparation of oligosaccharide fragments of mycobacterial arabinan that contain arabinofuranosyl residues modified at C-3 by the replacement of the hydroxyl group with an amino, azido or methoxy functionality. Subsequent testing of these oligosaccharides as inhibitors of mycobacterial AraT's revealed that all inhibited the enzymes, but to varying degrees. In further studies, each compound was shown to have only low activity as an inhibitor of mycobacterial growth. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

novel two-step route has been developed for the synthesis of a panel of oligosaccharides (9–17) containing C-2 functionalized α-d-arabinofuranosyl residues. The first step in this route consists of a highly stereocontrolled glycosylation reaction using a 2,3-anhydrosugar thioglycoside (6). In the second step, the epoxide ring in the 2,3-anhydrosugar glycoside is regioselectively opened at C-2 with sodium
