Synthesis of Ganglioside Lactams Corresponding to GM1-, GM2-, GM3-, and GM4-Ganglioside Lactones
摘要:
Ganglioside lactams are potentially useful analogs of ganglioside lactones, which are highly immunogenic derivatives of gangliosides. The lactam corresponding to the G(M3)-lactone saccharide has been synthesized by sialylation of a suitably protected lactose derivative carrying an azido group in the 2'-position, followed by reduction and ring closure to form G(M3)-lactam. Glycosylation in the 4-position of the central saccharide unit gave the G(M2)- and G(M1)- lactam saccharides. By a similar route, a 2-azido-Gal derivative was sialylated and treated as above to give the G(M4)-lactam saccharide. Deprotection gave the G(M2-4)-lactam saccharides in water soluble form, whereas attempted deprotection of the G(M1)-lactam caused its degradation. The G(M3)-lactam saccharide was coupled to ceramide, to afford the ganglioside lactam analog, and via a spacer to bovine serum albumin (BSA). The BSA conjugate was used as immunogen to raise monoclonal antibodies that cross-reacted with G(M3)-lactone. The antibodies were used in a histological staining of murine melanoma cells, clearly showing the presence of G(M3)-lactone on the cell surface. Keeping the G(M2-4)-lactam saccharides in D2O at 37 degrees C for 1 month caused marginal (0-11%) hydrolysis of the lactam ring.

The novel sialyl donor methyl (ethyl 4,7,8,9-tetra-O-acetyl-5-N,N-diacetylamino-3,5-dideoxy-2-thio-3-thiophenyl-D-erthro-beta-L-gluco-non-2-ulopyranosid)onate was used for glycosylation of a lactosyl acceptor to give the GM3-trisaccharide derivative in 83% yield. Introduction of an azido group at C-9" of the GM3-trisaccharide derivative, transformation into a glycosyl acceptor, and sialylation with the above mentioned novel sialyl donor gave a GD3-trisaccharide in 50% yield. Reduction of the azido group gave the corresponding amine, which underwent spontaneous lactamization to the GD3-[1'''-9"]-lactam in an overall yield of 86%. Removal of protecting groups of over five steps, followed by per-O-acetylation gave an acetylated GD3-[1'''-9"]-lactam TMSEt glycoside in 27% overall yield. The acetylated GD3-[1'''-9"]-lactam TMSEt glycoside is suitable for glycosylation of linker-arms and the resulting linker-glycosides are planned to be coupled to carrier proteins. thus providing immunogens for trial vaccinations against malignant melanoma.

The novel sialyl donor methyl [ethyl 5-acetamido-4,7,8,9-tetra-O-acetyl-2-thio-3-(phenylthic)-2,3,5- trideoxy-D-erythro -alpha-L-gluco-2-nonulopyranosid]onate (6) was synthesized in six steps from N-acetylneuraminic acid in an overall yield of 47%. Donor 6 was shown to be superior to conventional sialyl donors in that the sialylation yields were higher, even with sterically hindered and unreactive sialyl accepters, and the alpha/beta-selectivity was virtually complete.
