Synthesis of 5-Thio-l-fucose-Containing Disaccharides, as Sequence-Specific Inhibitors, and 2‘-Fucosyllactose, as a Substrate of α-l-Fucosidases
摘要:
Four 5-thio-L-fucose-containing disaccharides having alpha(1-->6), alpha(1-->3), alpha(1-->4)GlcNAc, and alpha(1-->2-Gal linkages (compounds 1-4, respectively) were synthesized as potential alpha-L-fucosidase inhibitors. The glycosylation reactions using 2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-5-thio-L-fucopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate as a glycosyl donor and BF3 . OEt(2) as a catalyst gave mainly alpha-linked disaccharides. Only alpha(1-->2)-linked disaccharide 4 showed inhibitory activity (K-i = 0.21 mM) against Bacillus alpha-L-fucosidase which hydrolyzes the Fuc alpha(1-->2) linkage specifically. The results suggested that sequence specificity of an enzyme could be estimated from the inhibitory activities of the compounds 1-4. In contrast, every disaccharide showed inhibitory activity (K-i = 30-91 mu M) against bovine epididymis alpha-L-fucosidase.
Efficient and stereoselective 1,2-cis glycoside formation of 5-thioaldopyranoses: glycosylation with peracetylated 5-thio-D- arabinopyranosyl and 5-thio-L-fucopyranosyl trichloroacetimidates
摘要:
Trichloroacetimidate method was proved to be effective for 5-thio-D-arabinopyranosylation and 5-thio-L-fucopyranosylation of N-acetyl-D-glucosaminides and D-galactosides. In these 5-thioglycosylation the neighboring group participation of 2-0-acetyl function was not decisive of anomeric stereoselectivity to give 1,2-cis pseudodisaccharides predominantly. Allyl 2-O-(5-thio-alpha-L-fucopyranosyl)-beta-D-galactopyranoside showed potent inhibitory activity toward alpha-L-fucosidase (Ki = 30muM).
