Hydration IndexA Better Parameter for Explaining Small Molecule Hydration in Inhibition of Ice Recrystallization
摘要:
Several simple mono- and disaccharides have been assessed for their ability to inhibit ice recrystallization. Two carbohydrates were found to be effective recrystallization inhibitors. D-Galactose (1) was the best monosaccharide and D-melibiose (5) was the most active disaccharide. The ability of each carbohydrate to inhibit ice growth was correlated to its respective hydration number reported in the literature. A hydration number reflects the number of tightly bound water molecules to the carbohydrate and is a function of carbohydrate stereochemistry. It was discovered that using the absolute hydration number of a carbohydrate does not allow one to accurately predict its ability to inhibit ice recrystallization. Consequently, we have defined a hydration index in which the hydration number is divided by the molar volume of the carbohydrate. This new parameter not only takes into account the number of water molecules tightly bound to a carbohydrate but also the size or volume of a particular solute and ultimately the concentration of hydrated water molecules. The hydration index of both mono- and disaccharides correlates well with experimentally measured RI activity. C-Linked derivatives of the monosaccharides appear to have RI activity comparable to that of their O-linked saccharides but a more thorough investigation is required. The relationship between carbohydrate concentration and RI activity was shown to be noncolligative and a 0.022 M solution of D-galactose (1) and C-linked galactose derivative (10) inhibited recrystallization as well as a 3% DMSO solution. The carbohydrates examined in this study did not possess any thermal hysteresis activity (selective depression of freezing point relative to melting point) or dynamic ice shaping. As such, we propose that they are inhibiting recrystallization at the interface between bulk water and the quasi liquid layer (a semiordered interface between ice and bulk water) by disrupting the preordering of water.

C-glycosyl functionalized lysine buildingblocks, featuring C-glycosidic derivatives of alpha-rhamnose, alpha-mannose, alpha-galactose, beta-galactose, and beta-N-acetyl glucosamine have been designed and synthesized. These derivatives, equipped with acid-labile protecting groups, are eminently suitable for solid-phase synthesis of multivalent glycopeptides. The lysine buildingblocks were prepared fromC-allyl

A variety of C-glycosides can be obtained from the fluoroarylborane (B(C6F5)3) or silylium (R3Si+) catalyzed functionalization of 1-MeO- and per-TMS-sugars with TMS-X reagents. A one-step functionalization with a change as simple as the addition order and/or Lewis acid and TMS-X enables one to afford chiral synthons that are common (C-pyranosides), have few viable synthetic methods (C-furanosides)

A method for the modification of an amino acid, protein or peptide is disclosed. The method comprises reacting a carbon-carbon double bond-containing compound with an amino acid, a protein or a peptide containing an allyl sulfide group in the presence of a catalyst which promotes olefin metathesis, to form a modified amino acid, protein or peptide. Preferred carbon-carbon double bond-containing compounds include carbohydrates.

Two series of C-linked fucosides as mimetics for the tetrasaccharide sialyl Lewis X have been synthesized and tested as inhibitors of E-Selectin. The fucopeptides have been prepared from three key intermediates, including alpha-C-allyl fucose, natural and unnatural amino acids bearing hydroxyl groups and an alpha,omega-diacid moiety for the imitation of the essential three parts of SLe(x), i.e., the Fuc, Gal, and NeuAc. The nature and distance of the linkage of the fucose moiety to the amino acids as well as the distance between the amino acids and the terminal carboxylic acid group turned out to be crucial for the biological activity. In addition the necessity of both OH groups (4- and 6-OH) in the Gal part could be confirmed. Conformational NMR study of the most active mimetic supports the structure-activity relationship. A second series of mimetics was prepared, where Fuc and Gal moieties were purely C-linked. In the synthesis of beta-C-allyl galactose an intramolecular 1,2-hydride shift led to an interesting side product. However, the substituted glycosidic oxygens led to a substantial loss of conformational constrain, which could not be compensated and resulted in low activity. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd

beta -Gal epitopes are carbohydrate structures bearing an alpha -D-Galp-(1 --> 3)-beta -D-Galp terminus and are the main cause of antibody-mediated hyperacute rejection in xenotransplantation. Nine monosaccharides and ten disaccharides were evaluated as substrates for a fusion protein, which contains both alpha-(1 --> 3)-galactosyltransferase and uridine-5'-diphosphogalactose 4-epimerase. Four disaccharide and six trisaccharide alpha -Gal epitope derivatives were synthesized utilizing this novel fusion enzyme. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
