Fucosylated chondroitin sulfate (FuCS) is a structurally distinct glycosaminoglycan, and its oligosaccharides exhibit excellent anticoagulant activity with lower risks of adverse effects and bleeding. Herein we report a facile approach to the synthesis of FuCS hexa‐ and nonasaccharides on the basis of the enzymatic degradation of chondroitin over 12 linear steps.

Chondroitinsulfate (CS) is a structurally complex polyanionic glycosaminoglycan that plays essential roles in physiological processes. Here we report a facile approach to a library of CS tetra- and hexasaccharides based on the enzymatic degradation of chondroitin over 10 or 11 steps, which is the shortest synthetic route toward size-defined CS oligosaccharides reported to date.

Vaccination is a reliable method of prophylaxis and a crucial measure for public health. However, the majority of vaccines cannot be administered orally due to their degradation in the harsh gut environment or inability to cross the GI tract. In this study, we report the first proof-of-concept study of orally producible chemically programmed antibodies via specific conjugation of adaptor ligands to endogenous antibodies, in vivo. Pre-immuniztion with 2,4-dinitrophenyl (DNP), or the reactive hapten, 1,3-diketone (DK), or a novel reactive hapten, vinyl sulfone (VS) in mice, followed by oral administration of adaptor ligands composed of the hapten and biotin to the pre-immunized mice resulted in successful in vivo formation of the biotin-hapten-antibody complexes within 2 h. Pharmacokinetic evaluations revealed that apparent serum concentrations of programmed antibodies were up to 144 nM and that the serum half-lives reached up to 34.4 h. These findings show promise for the future development of orally bioavailable drug-hapten-antibody complexes as a strategy to quickly and easily modulate immune targets for aggressive pathogens as well as cancer.

Invariant natural killer T cells (iNKT cells) are restricted by CD1d molecules and activated upon CD1d-mediated presentation of glycolipids to T cell receptors (TCRs) located on the surface of the cell. Because the cytokine response profile is governed by the structure of the glycolipid, we sought a method for labeling various glycolipids to study their in vivo behavior. The prototypical CD1d agonist, alpha-galactosyl ceramide (alpha-GalCer) 1, instigates a powerful immune response and the generation of a wide range of cytokines when it is presented to iNKT cell TCRs by CD1d molecules. Analysis of crystal structures of the TCR-alpha-GalCer-CD1d ternary complex identified the alpha-methylene unit in the fatty acid side chain, and more specifically the pro-S hydrogen at this position, as a site for incorporating a label. We postulated that modifying the glycolipid in this way would exert a minimal impact on the TCR-glycolipid-CD1d ternary complex, allowing the labeled molecule to function as a good mimic for the CD1d agonist under investigation. To test this hypothesis, the synthesis of a biotinylated version of the CD1d agonist threitol ceramide (ThrCer) was targeted. Both diastereoisomers, epimeric at the label tethering site, were prepared, and functional experiments confirmed the importance of substituting the pro-S, and not the pro-R, hydrogen with the label for optimal activity. Significantly, functional experiments revealed that biotinylated ThrCer (S)-10 displayed behavior comparable to that of ThrCer 5 itself and also confirmed that the biotin residue is available for streptavidin and antibiotin antibody recognition. A second CD1d agonist, namely alpha-GalCer C20:2 4, was modified in a similar way, this time with a fluorescent label. The labeled alpha-GalCer C20:2 analogue (11) again displayed functional behavior comparable to that of its unlabeled substrate, supporting the notion that the alpha-methylene unit in the fatty acid amide chain should be a suitable site for attaching a label to a range of CD1d agonists. The flexibility of the synthetic strategy, and late-stage incorporation of the label, opens up the possibility of using this labeling approach to study the in vivo behavior of a wide range of CD1d agonists.
