Synthesis and anti-tumor activity of carbohydrate analogues of the tetrahydrofuran containing acetogenins
摘要:
The tetrahydrofuran (THF) containing annonaceous acetogenins (AAs) are attractive candidates for drug development because of their potent cytotoxicity against a wide range of tumors and their relatively simple and robust structures. Replacement of the THF segment with a sugar residue may deliver analogues with improved tumor selectivity and pharmacokinetics and are therefore attractive for drug development. As a first test to the feasibility of such structures, a set of such monosaccharide analogues was synthesized and assayed against four human tumor cell lines, cervical (HeLa), breast (MDA-MB231), T-cell leukemia (Jurkat) and prostate (PC-3). Certain analogues showed low micromolar activity that was comparable to a structurally similar, naturally occurring mono-THF acetogenin. A preliminary examination of the structure-activity profile of these carbohydrate analogues suggests that they have a similar mechanism of action as their THF congeners. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

Synthetic tools for the characterization of galactofuranosyl transferases: glycosylations via acylated glycosyl iodides
摘要:
With the aim of developing synthetic tools for the characterization of galactofuranosyltransferases, the synthesis of 9-decenyl glycosides of D-Manp, D-Galf, and beta-D-Galf-(1 -> 3)-D-Manp was targeted. The interest in the alkenyl aglycone arises via potential conjugation reactions, once the terminal double bond has been conveniently functionalized. The glycosylation of beta-D-Galf-(1 -> 3)-D-Manp was attempted by two different approaches: the trichloroacetimidate method and the glycosylation via the glycosyl iodide. The conditions for the latter were established on the basis of glycosylation assays of per-O-acetylmannose. On the other hand, the study of glycosylation reactions via per-O-benzoylated galactofuranosyl iodide confirms the versatility of glycosyl iodides as donors. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
