Synthesis of 5,6-dimodified open-chain d-fructose derivatives and their properties as substrates of bacterial polyol dehydrogenase
摘要:
5-Deoxy-5-fluoro-D-xylulose as well as a range of new 5,6-dimodifed open-chain analogues of D-fructose, namely the 5,6-diazido-5,6-dideoxy, 6-azido-5,6-dideoxy, 6-azido-5,6-dideoxy-5-fluoro, 5,6-dideoxy-5-fluoro, 5,6-dideoxy-6-fluoro and 5,6-dideoxy-5,6-difluoro derivatives, were synthesised employing glucose isomerase catalysed isomerisation of the corresponding D-xylo- and D-glucofuranoses as a key step. New compounds as well as some previously reported analogues such as 5-azido-5,6-dideoxy-6-fluoro-D- fructose were shown to be excellent substrates of polyol dehydrogenase from Burkholderia cepacia DSM 50181 with K-m values two orders of magnitude smaller than the corresponding natural substrates.

Binding and catalysis by yeast aldose reductase: A substrate-analog approach with new aldose derivatives
摘要:
5-Deoxy-D-xylofuranose derivatives and a range of new 5,6-dideoxy analogs of D-glucofuranose bearing azido or fluoro substituents were synthesised and employed as substrates of the NADH-dependent aldehyde reduction catalysed by yeast aldose reductase. In terms of catalytic efficiencies, these products proved to be superior to the parent compounds. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
