A Short, Efficient Synthesis of the Octamannan Residue of High Mannose Type Sugar Chains
摘要:
An efficient route for the synthesis of octamannan 1, found in high mannose type sugar chains, is described. To construct octasaccharide 1 by as few synthetic steps as possible, we employed a chemoenzymatic strategy: the enzymatic synthesis of oligosaccharide blocks using glycosidases followed by chemical coupling to form a branched structure. By use of this methodology, many synthetic steps were eliminated and 1 was easily synthesized.
Chemoenzymatic synthesis of the branched oligosaccharides which correspond to the core structures of N-linked sugar chains
摘要:
Synthetic routes are described to a partial structure common to all high mannose-type sugar chains and complex-type sugar chains based on a chemoenzymatic strategy which incorporates, (a) enzymatic synthesis of oligosaccharide blocks using glycosidases, and (b) chemical synthesis of the branching oligosaccharides via regioselective coupling. All reaction products correspond to key intermediates necessary for the construction of N-linked oligosaccharides and we have synthesized the branched tetra-manno-oligosaccharide high mannose-type sugar chain and the branched hexa-oligosaccharide complex-type sugar chain using this simple and direct method.
