Chemical and enzymatic synthesis of high-affinity selectin ligands
摘要:
Analogs of sialyl Lewis(x) have been synthesized chemically using donors of modified sialic acids. The sialic acids were obtained enzymatically by an aldolase reaction. The sLe(x) tetrasaccharides modified at C-2 of the GlcNAc moiety and at C-5 of the sialic acid residue were tested as inhibitors for E- and P-selectins. Up to 12-fold higher inhibitory potency was found for the lyse-derivative of sLeX compared to the parent compound. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.

exploitation of its substrate specificity and synthetic utility. Several potential acceptor substrates were synthesized in this study, including mono- and oligosaccharides, glycolipids, and glycopeptides and their sulfate derivatives. Some CMP-sialicacid derivatives with modification at the C-5 position were also prepared for evaluation as donor substrates. It was found that the enzyme exhibits a broader

An inversion of stereoselectivity in aldol condensations catalyzed by sialic acid aldolase (from Escherichia coli, Shinko American Inc.) was observed when L-mannose, 6-deoxy-L-mannose, L-talose, 2-deoxy-L-glucose, 2-deoxy-L-rhamnose, N-acetyl-L-mannosamine, D-gulose, D-arabinose, and 2-azido-2-deoxy-L-mannose were used as acceptor substrates. In all substrates tested, except the last three, a complete inversion of stereoselectivity was observed; i.e., the C-nucleophile of pyruvate attacks the re face of the acceptor carbonyl instead of the si face as in the normal case for the enantiomeric substrates. Examination of the product distribution during the course of enzymatic reactions indicates that the stereoselectivity is thermodynamically controlled in nature; i.e., attack on the re face would take place if the resulting product would be more stable than the one from the si face attack. Both enantiomers of several high-carbon monosaccharides are now accessible via the aldolase reactions. A new practical procedure has also been developed for the preparation of the aldolase products where unreacted pyruvate (usually used in 7-fold excess to drive the reaction) is decomposed with pyruvate decarboxylase to simplify product isolation.
