Synthesis of some divalent O- and S-glycosides of galabiose and globotriose
摘要:
Derivatives of galabiose (alpha-D-Galp-(1-->4)-D-Galp) and globotriose (alpha-D-Galp-(1-->4)-beta-D-Galp(1-->4)-D-Glcp) were coupled to various 1,2- and 1,3-dihydroxymethyl- and dimercaptomethylbenzenes to give the corresponding divalent glycosides, potentially useful as inhibitors of bacterial adhesion.

Di-, Tri-, and Tetravalent Dendritic Galabiosides That Inhibit Hemagglutination by Streptococcus suis at Nanomolar Concentration
摘要:
Galabiose (Gal alpha 1-4Gal) derivatives were coupled to carrier molecules having mono-, di-, tri-, and tetrameric functionalities, thus creating mono- to tetravalent dendritic galabiosides (1-9). The di- to tetravalent galabiosides were several hundred times more efficient than the monomeric galabiosides in inhibiting hemagglutination by the Gram-positive bacterium Streptococcus suis, resulting in complete inhibition at low nanomolar concentrations. This is unprecedented in the field of inhibition of bacterial adhesion by soluble compounds.
Polyanionic glycopolymers were synthesized aiming at establishing a simple process for assembling glycosyl arrays. The synthetic glycopolymers carry the key carbohydrate epitopes of alpha-D-galactobioside (Gb(2)), beta-lactoside, and U-D-mannopyranoside, each of which serves as a ligand of bacterial toxins and adhesion proteins. The Gb(2) epitope, prepared from penta-O-acetyl-D-galactopyranose, was coupled with poly(ethylene-alt-maleic anhydride) in a polymer reaction to afford a Gb(2)-embedded glycopolymer having also carboxylate (COO-) polyanions at the side chain. The polyanionic glycopolymer was then applied to a preparation of sugar-coated gold electrodes, which involves an alternating layer-by-layer adsorption based on electrostatic interactions. The presence of the Gb(2)-Coat on the surface was evidenced by Fourier transform infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy. The Gb(2)-coated glyco-chip was stable in 10 mM HEPES buffer containing 150 mM NaCl aq. Other glycopolymers carrying the beta-lactoside and alpha-D-mannopyranoside epitopes were applied to the same assembling process. The derived glycosyl arrays will be useful for detecting Shiga toxins, other pathogenic toxins and viruses when applied as glyco-chips for surface plasmon resonance or quartz crystal microbalance technique.
