Syntheses of an α-d-Gal-(1→6)-β-d-Gal diglyceride, as lipase substrate
摘要:
Two different routes were explored to afford 3-O-(6-0-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl-beta-D-galactopyranosyl)-1,2-di-O-dodecanoyl-sn-glycerol. In the first one, the key step was the glycosylation of the 3-O-(2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-beta-D-galactopyranosyl)- 1, 2-O-isopropylidene-sn-glycerol acceptor with 2-pyridyl 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-1-thio-beta-D-galactopyranoside as the donor. In the second one, the key step was the coupling of 2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-6-O-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl)-D-galactopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate donor with 1,2-O-isopropylidene-sn-glycerol. Even though the number of steps was the same in both pathways, the first one afforded a better overall yield (12.4%) than the second one (6.5%). This eight-step synthesis allowed the preparation of the expected glycolipid, which was used as substrate for recombinant GPLRP2 galactolipase using the monomolecular film technique.

We compared the immunostimulatory effects of chemically synthesized alpha-galactosylceramides (alpha-GalCers), alpha-glucosylceramides (alpha-GluCers), 6 "-monoglycosylated alpha-GalCer and 6 "- or 4 "-monoglycosylated alpha-GluCer and made the following observations: (1) the length of the fatty acid side chain in the ceramide portions greatly affects the immunostimulatory effects of alpha-GalCers and alpha-GluCers; (2) the configuration of the 4 "-hydroxyl group of the inner pyranose moiety plays an important role in the immunostimulatory effects of monoglycosylated alpha-D-pyranosylceramides; (3) the free 4 "-hydroxyl group of the inner pyranose of monoglycosylated alpha-D-pyranosylceramides plays a more important role in their immunostimulatory effects than the free 6 "-hydroxyl group.
