Synthesis of a New Class of N-Linked Lewis and LacNAc Analogues as Potential Inhibitors of Human Fucosyltransferases: A General Method for the Incorporation of an Iminocyclitol as a Transition-State Mimetic of the Donor Sugar to the Acceptor
摘要:
A short and effective synthesis of N-linked di- and trisaccharides is described. In a high-yielding reaction sequence, the glucosamine derivative 1 was transformed to the 3-azido-2,3-dideoxy sugar 2e under excellent stereocontrol. The LacNAc analogue 4d was synthesized as a single isomer in three steps starting from 2e. In a one-pot procedure, iminocyclitol 5 was transformed into aldehyde 6 and successfully used for reductive amination with 4c and 2f to give trisaccharide 8a and disaccharide 7a, respectively. This procedure represents a general strategy for the incorporation of an iminocyclitol as a transition-state mimic of the donor sugar moiety to the acceptor.
Synergistic Inhibition of Human α-1,3-Fucosyltransferase V
摘要:
Human alpha-1,3-fucosyltransferase V (FucT V), which catalyzes the transfer of L-fucose moiety from guanosine diphosphate beta-L-fucose (GDP-Fuc) to an acceptor sugar To form sialyl Lewis x (sLe(x)), was shown to proceed through an ordered, sequential mechanism by product inhibition studies. The designed azatrisaccharide propyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-4-O-(beta-D-galactopyranosyl)-3 -O-(2-(N-(beta-L-homofuconojirimycinyl))ethyl)-alpha-D- glucopyranoside (2), prepared by covalently linking the N-group of beta-L-homofuconojirimycin (1) to the 3-OH of LacNAc through an ethylene unit, in the presence of GDP was found to be an effective inhibitor of FucT V. In the presence of 30 mu M GDP, the concentration of 2 necessary to cause 50% inhibition was reduced 77-fold to 31 mu M. Presumably, the azatrisaccharide and GDP form a complex which mimics the transition state of the enzymatic reaction. Given the low affinity of FucT V for its substrate LacNAc (K-m = 35 mM), the designed azatrisaccharide in the presence of GDP represents the most potent synergistic inhibitor complex reported so far.
