Chemoenzymatic Syntheses of Linear and Branched Hemithiomaltodextrins as Potential Inhibitors for Starch-Debranching Enzymes
摘要:
Oligosaccharides embodying the S-maltosyl-6-thiomaltosyl structure have been readily synthesised by using convergent chemoenzymatic approaches. The key steps for the preparation of these molecules involved: 1) transglycosylation reactions of maltosyl fluorides onto suitable acceptors catalysed by the bacterial transglycosylase, cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase), and 2) the S(N)2-type displacement of a 6-halide from acetylated acceptors by activated 1-thioglycoses. The target molecules, which were obtained in good overall yields, proved to be useful for investigating substrate binding in the active sites of several enzymes that act upon the alpha-1,6-linkage of pullulan and/or amylopectin. The compounds exhibit K-i values in the 2.5-1350 muM range with the different enzymes, and the highest affinity found by using these molecules was seen for the pullulanase from Bacillus acidopullulyticus. Both barley-malt limit dextrinase and pullulanase type II from Thermococcus hydrothermalis only recognised the longest linear thiooligosaccharide, while a branched heptasaccharide was the strongest inhibitor of pullulanase from Klebsiella planticola.

Orthoesterification of sucrose with 1,1-dimethoxyethene under kinetic control gave 4,6-O-methoxyethylidenesucrose in 77% crude yield. Similar orthoesterification of maltose led essentially after acetylation to 1,2,3,6,2',3'-hexa-O-acetyl-4'-6'-O-methoxyethylidenemaltose. Analogous treatment of alpha,alpha-trehalose gave 2,3,2',3'-tetra-O-acetyl-4,6:4',6'-di-O-methoxyethylidene-alpha,alpha-trehalose in 47% yield. The acid-catalyzed opening of these orthoesters was studied, and these reactions were shown to give disaccharides selectively protected by acetyl groups. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
