The first synthesis of glycan parts of lactoganglio- and neolactoganglio-series gangliosides
摘要:
The glycan parts of lactoganglio- and neolactoganglio-series of gangliosides were synthesized for the first time based on a well-designed synthetic strategy. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
Synthesis of Double-Chain Bis-sulfone Neoglycolipids of the 2'-, 3'-, and 6'-Deoxyglobotrioses
摘要:
Partially protected 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl deoxylactosides (deoxygenated in the 2-, 3-, and 6-positions of the galactose unit) were synthesized via various routes and glycosylated with galactosyl donors to give the corresponding deoxytrisaccharides. Removal of the protecting groups gave the 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl 2'-, 3'-, and 6'-deoxyglobotriosides. Transformation of the protected trisaccharides into trichloroacetimidates, via the corresponding hemiacetals, proceeded in 86-96% overall yield. Glycosylation of 3-(hexadecylsulfonyl)-2-[(hexadecylsulfonyl)methyl]propanol with the trisaccharidic trichloroacetimidates, in 37-68% yield, followed by removal of protecting groups, gave the title neoglycolipids.
The sulfated glucuronosyl paragloboside SO4-3-GlcA(beta 1-3)Gal-(beta 1-4)GlcNAc(beta 1-3)Gal-(beta 1-4)Glc beta(1-1')Cer (SGPG) is a specific constituent of the peripheral nervous system involved in human dysimmune neuropathies. Although it is highly immunogenic in human pathology, it is not a major constituent of peripheral nerve in humans. Pure SGPG is very difficult to obtain from natural sources, but is needed for the design of efficient and reproducible immunoassays. We describe a new chemical synthesis of this important glycolipid with a stearic tail, including its complete characterization by mass spectrometry and its use in the detection of autoimmune neuropathies.
