2,2′-N:3,3′-O-Tetrakis[(R)-3-hydroxytetradecanoyl]-β(1-6)-D-glucosamine disaccharide 1,4′-bis(phosphate) and its dephospho derivatives were synthesized. The bisphosphate prepared was shown to be identical with a natural biosynthetic precursor of lipid A which corresponds to the lipophilic part of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in bacterial cell wall. The synthetic bis- and monophosphates exhibited many of
2,2'-N:3,3'-O-Tetrakis[(R)-3-羟基十四烷酰基]-β(1-6)-D-葡糖胺二糖 1,4'-双(磷酸)及其脱磷衍生物合成的。制备的二磷酸盐显示与脂质 A 的天然生物合成前体相同,脂质 A 对应于细菌细胞壁中脂多糖 (LPS) 的亲脂部分。合成的双磷酸盐和单磷酸盐表现出 LPS 的许多典型内毒活性。因此,这项工作建立了脂质 A 生物合成前体的化学结构,并阐明了表达这些活性所需的基本结构。
Chemical synthesis of phosphorylated tetraacyl disaccharide corresponding to a biosynthetic precursor of lipid A
A total synthesis of 2,2′-N; 3,3′-O-tetraquis[(R)-3-hydroxytetradecanoyl]-β(1–6)-D-glucosamine disaccharide 1,4′-diphosphate is described. This is the first confirmation of the fundamental structure of lipid A since the synthetic compound exhibited most of the characteristic biological activities of natural endotoxin.
A biosyntheticprecursor of lipid A has been synthesized by an improved efficient method. Two appropriately modified acyl-substituted glucosamine units were synthesized from D-glucosamine using (R)-3-(benzyloxy)tetradecanoic acid and then coupled by the Lewis acid-promoted glycosidation via the corresponding trichloroacetimidate. Glycosyl phosphorylation and hydrogenolytic deprotection, followed by
脂质 A 的生物合成前体已通过改进的有效方法合成。使用 (R)-3-(苄氧基)十四烷酸从 D-葡糖胺合成两个适当修饰的酰基取代的葡糖胺单元,然后通过路易斯酸促进的糖苷化通过相应的三氯乙酰亚胺进行偶联。糖基磷酸化和氢解脱保护,然后通过液-液分配色谱纯化,通过 13 个步骤从 N-Troc-D-葡糖胺以 2.9% 的总收率得到目标化合物。
