Convenient Synthesis of an N-Glycan Octasaccharide of the Bisecting Type
摘要:
Convenient synthesis of an N-glycan octasaccharide (A) of the bisecting type was described. The stable and easily prepared orthoester F, 3 ''-O-chloroacetyl-4 '',6 ''-O-benzylidene-alpha-D-glucopyranose 1 '',2 ''-(chloromethyl 3',6'-di-O-benzyl-2'-deoxy-2'-phthalimido-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 -> 4)-3,6-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-beta-D-glucopyranosylazide-4'-yl orthoacetate), was designed as the key intermediate with two advantages: (1) distinguishing OH-2 '' from OH-3 '' in beta-D-glucopyranoside to construct the central beta-D-mannopyranoside by inverting the configuration of OH-2 '' in beta-D-glucopyranoside and (2) distinguishing OH-4 '' and OH-6 '' from OH-3 '' in the beta-D-mannopyranoside to introduce the bisecting GlcNAc residue.
A straightforward chemical synthesis was developed for multiantennaryN-glycans of the complex-type containing a bisecting GlcNAc moiety. It was found that a bisecting GlcNAc can be introduced as the final residue despite considerable steric hindrance of the buried 4-hydroxyl group of the N-glycan acceptor. This approach circumvents the need for a temporary protecting group on the primary hydroxyl

A chemical synthesis was developed for N-glycans substituted with core-fucose and an additional bisecting GlcNAc (LEC10 motif). The synthesis was conducted using a suitably functionalized N-glycan pentasaccharide assembled from modular building blocks. Selective introduction of the bisecting GlcNAc residue was followed by attachment of the alpha 1,6-arm and core-fucose. After introduction of an ammohexanoyl spacer the nonasaccharide was completely deprotected providing a substrate for enzymatic elongation and conjugation to proteins for further biological studies.
