From 1,4-Disaccharide to 1,3-Glycosyl Carbasugar: Synthesis of a Bespoke Inhibitor of Family GH99 Endo-α-mannosidase
摘要:
Understanding the enzyme reaction mechanism can lead to the design of enzyme inhibitors. A Claisen rearrangement was used to allow conversion of an alpha-1,4-disaccharide into an alpha-1,3-linked glycosyl carbasugar to target the endo-alpha-mannosidase from the GH99 glycosidase family, which, unusually, is believed to act through a 1,2-anhydrosugar "epoxide" intermediate. Using NMR and X-ray crystallography, it is shown that glucosyl carbasugar alpha-aziridines can act as reasonably potent endo-alpha-mannosidase inhibitors, likely by virtue of their shape mimicry and the interactions of the aziridine nitrogen with the conserved catalytic acid/base of the enzyme active site.

Described herein is the first example of an organocatalytic approach for acylanion addition to the anomeric carbon of 2-nitroglucal using an N-heterocycliccarbene catalyst. Control over the reaction conditions gives β-selective and nitro-eliminated C-glycosides, providing opportunities to produce new classes of C-glycoside.

modification of the Svensson degradation, otherwise permethylated glycopyranosid-2-uloses bearing 4-O-glycosyl substituents are formed by the Swern oxidation. Base-catalyzed elimination on treatment with triethylamine then gives 4-deoxy-3-O-methylglyc-3-enopyranosid-2-ulose-terminat ed oligosaccharides with liberation of glycosyl substituents as reducing sugars but without further degradation. Mild acid hydrolysis
Cyclic and linear oligosaccharides constituted with 2-deoxy sugar units are synthesized by an oligomerization reaction involving activated thioglycoside monomers, consisting of a 2-deoxy sugar unit. The oligomerization promoter plays an important role in the formation of either the cyclic- or the linear oligosaccharides. Encapsulation abilities of a 2-deoxy cyclic hexamer with p-nitrophenot, by a H-1 NMR method, showed complexation of the guest molecule with the host molecule. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
