Improved Preparation of β‐d‐ManNAc‐(1→4)‐d‐Glc and β‐d‐TalNAc‐(1→4)‐d‐Glc Disaccharides and Evaluation of Their Activating Properties on the Natural Killer Cells NKR‐P1 and CD69 Receptors
摘要:
The synthetic access of either beta-D-ManNAc-(1-->4)-D-Glc (5) is beta-d-TalNAc-(1-->4)-D-Glc (6) disaccharides has been effectively improved with respect to previous syntheses (J. Carbohydr. Chem. 2000, 19, 79-91 and 2004, 23, 179-190), optimizing the preparation of suitably protected 4-O-(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-3,4-O-isopropylidene-beta-D-talopyranosyl)-2,3:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-aldehydo-D-glucose dimethyl acetal derivatives obtained by complete stereoselective LiAlH4 reduction of new 2'-oximino precursors derived from lactose. The affinity of the disaccharides 5 and 6 toward the natural killer cell NKR-P1 and CD69 receptors has been evaluated and discussed.
