Amidic glycolipids, 1,5-bis-O-alkyl-N-maltooligonoyl-L-glutamate (1), having various lengths of two hydrocarbon chains (carbon number, m: 14, 16, 18) and maltooligotose with (glucose unit, n: 3, 5, 7) and a N-glycosidic lipid, 1,5-bis-O-octadecyl-N-maltopentaonosyl-L-glutamate (2) have been synthesized. The assembling structures were analyzed by microscopic observation, such as negatively stained TEM, cryo-TEM, and AFM. The glycolipid 1a (m,n: 14,5) showed a fiber-like structure in all the observed temperatures, while 1b (16,5) showed a fiber-like structure when the hydrating temperature was above the gel-to-liquid crystalline phase transition temperature (Tc; 45°C) and a large disk-like structure when incubated below the Tc. The glycolipid 1c (18,5) took a large disk-like structure after hydration of the powder above the Tc. The glycolipids 1d (18,3) and 1e (18,7) showed a mixture of large disks and large vesicles and a mixture of small disks and micelles, respectively. The N-glycosidic lipid, 2, with no amide linkage made a vesicular structure only. The preparation procedure using high shear stress, such as extrusion and sonication, converted the large disk of 1c to smaller assemblies, such as small disk-, cone-, and granule-like assemblies, depending on the preparation conditions. The glycolipid molecules in the planer part of the disk were packed so tightly that molecular mobility was very low even above the Tc (58°C), and the reactivity of the saccharide chain against Concanavalin A was also very low, indicating that the high reactivity probably comes from the loose packing of saccharide chains around the edge part of the assemblies.
合成了具有不同长度的两条碳氢链(碳数,m:14、16、18)和含有(葡萄糖单位,n:3、5、7)麦芽寡糖的酰胺糖脂--1,5-双-O-烷基-N-麦芽寡糖酰-L-谷氨酸(1),以及一种 N-糖苷脂--1,5-双-O-十八烷基-N-麦芽酮基-L-谷氨酸(2)。通过负染 TEM、冷冻 TEM 和原子力显微镜等显微镜观察分析了其组装结构。糖脂 1a(m,n:14,5)在所有观察温度下都呈现出纤维状结构,而糖脂 1b(16,5)在水合温度高于凝胶-液晶相转变温度(Tc;45°C)时呈现出纤维状结构,在低于 Tc 时则呈现出大圆盘状结构。糖脂 1c(18,5)在水合温度高于 Tc 时呈大圆盘状结构。糖脂 1d(18,3)和 1e(18,7)分别呈现出大圆盘和大囊泡的混合物以及小圆盘和胶束的混合物。没有酰胺连接的 N-糖苷脂质 2 只形成了囊泡结构。使用挤压和超声等高剪切应力的制备程序可将 1c 的大圆盘转化为较小的组装体,如小盘状、锥状和颗粒状组装体,具体取决于制备条件。圆盘平面部分的糖脂分子紧密堆积,即使在 Tc(58°C)以上,分子流动性也很低,糖链对康卡伐林 A 的反应活性也很低,这表明高反应活性可能来自于组装体边缘部分糖链的松散堆积。
