Protected sulfate groups may be used as an alternative tool to provide sulfateesters at hydroxyl and amino groups, particularly on complex glycans. We examined 2,2,2-trichloroethoxysulfation at the mono-, di-, and trihydroxyl groups of saccharide moieties to show regioselective sulfation. We found some side reactions including inter- and intramolecular nucleophilicreactions with 2,2,2-trichloroethoxysulfates

Sulfated liposaccharides are known inhibitors of telomerase and here we describe the synthesis of a series of sulfated liposaccharides inspired by the natural product axinelloside A, reported to act as an inhibitor of humantelomerase. We established a robust and scalable synthetic route to galactosyl liposaccharides capitalizing on a series of regioselective acylation reactions with 2-decenoic acid

A series of sulfuryl imidazolium salts (SISs) were prepared and examined as reagents for incorporating trichloroethyl-protected sulfate esters into carbohydrates. The SIS that contained a 1,2-dimethylimidazolium moiety (SIS 9) proved to be a superior sulfating compared to SISs bearing no alkyl groups or bulkier alkyl groups on the imidazolium ring. Difficult O-sulfations that required prolonged reaction times and a large excess of the SIS bearing a 1-methylimidazolium group (SIS 5) were achieved in high yield using less than half the amount of SIS 9 in less time. Certain N-sulfated compounds that were practically inaccessible using SIS 5 were obtained in excellent yield using SIS 9.

Mycobacterial cell wall lipids bind the conserved CD1 family of antigen-presenting molecules and activate T cells via their T cell receptors (TCRs). Sulfoglycolipids (SGLs) are uniquely synthesized by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, but tools to study SGL-specific T cells in humans are lacking. We designed a novel hybrid synthesis of a naturally occurring SGL, generated CD1b tetramers loaded with natural or synthetic SGL analogs, and studied the molecular requirements for TCR binding and T cell activation. Two T cell lines derived using natural SGLs are activated by synthetic analogs independently of lipid chain length and hydroxylation, but differentially by saturation status. By contrast, two T cell lines derived using an unsaturated SGL synthetic analog were not activated by the natural antigen. Our data provide a bioequivalence hierarchy of synthetic SGL analogs and SGL-loaded CD1b tetramers. These reagents can now be applied to large-scale translational studies investigating the diagnostic potential of SGL-specific T cell responses or SGL-based vaccines.
