Synthesis of di- and tri-saccharides related to the polysaccharide from Streptococcus pneumoniae type 23 and a study of their inhibition in the precipitin reaction
摘要:
Syntheses of methyl 2-O-beta-L-rhamnopyranosyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside (9), methyl 2-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside (13), and methyl 4-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-2-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-beta-D- galactopyranoside (16) in good yields are described. Both 13 and 16 significantly inhibit antigen-antibody precipitation in the S. pneumoniae Type 23 immune system. The results indicate that the rhamnosyl group in the side chain of the repeating unit of the antigen is alpha and not beta as reported previously, and that the trisaccharide related to 16 is the immunodominant group.

The synthesis of methyl alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 -> 2)-beta-D-galactopyranoside and methyl alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 -> 2)-3-(glycer-2-yl-phosphate)-beta-D-galactopyranoside disaccharides from the Streptococcus pneumoniae type 23F capsular polysaccharide is reported. A simple protecting group strategy was followed using commercially available monosaccharides and phosphorylating reagents. H-Phosphonate and phosphoramidite coupling chemistries were explored for introducing the phosphodiester. Hydrazine hydrate was found to be a mild and efficient deacetylating agent, which was required to avoid phosphate migration during the deprotection of the phosphodiester functionalized disaccharide.
