Evaluation of fluorescently labeled xylopyranosides as probes for proteoglycan biosynthesis
摘要:
A new fluorescent analog to the antiproliferative 2-(6-hydroxynaphthyl)-beta-D-xylopyranoside has been synthesized and tested on a T24 cell line. The new analog was efficiently uptaken by the T24 cells but did not initiate priming of GAG chains. The results are similar to other fluorescently labeled analogs and we propose that these compounds are too large and unpolar to efficiently function as GAG-primers. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.

The antiproliferative activity, and the capability of priming of glycosaminoglycan chains, of two series of peracetylated mono- and bis-xylosylated dihydroxynaphthalenes have been investigated for normal HFL-1 cells, as well as transformed T24 cells, and compared to the unprotected analogs. Our data show increased antiproliferative activity upon peracetylation, but a loss of selectivity towards T24 cells. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Azide-Functionalized Naphthoxyloside as a Tool for Glycosaminoglycan Investigations
We present a xylosylated naphthoxyloside carrying a terminal azide functionality that can be used for conjugation using click chemistry. We show that this naphthoxyloside serves as a substrate for β4GalT7 and induces the formation of soluble glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains with physiologically relevant lengths and sulfation patterns. Finally, we demonstrate its usefulness by conjugation to the Alexa Fluor 647 and TAMRA fluorophores and coupling to a surface plasmon resonance chip for interaction studies with the hepatocyte growth factor known to interact with the GAG heparan sulfate.
