Molecular Recognition of .beta.-Ribofuranosides by Synthetic Polypyridine-Macrocyclic Receptors
摘要:
Artificial ribofuranoside receptors were designed and synthesized. The design of the polypyridine-macrocyclic receptors was based on the multipoint hydrogen bond complementarity between the receptors and methyl beta-D-ribofuranoside. The binding affinity of the receptors for the ribofuranoside in CDCl3 was very high (up to K-a = 5.2 x 10(3) M(-1)), so that even native ribose was extracted by them into such nonpolar solvents. Selective extraction of ribose by the receptors\was observed: the extractabilities, or affinities to the receptors of various pentoses and hexoses decreased in the following order: ribose > deoxyribose congruent to lxyose congruent to xylose > fructose > arabinose > glucose congruent to mannose congruent to galactose. The selectivity is governed by the OH direction and the whole size of the sugars as well as their shapes. Furthermore, fluorescence emission of the receptors was largely enhanced in the presence of methyl beta-D-ribofuranoside or ribose, and the degree for the fluorescence enhancement by the addition of various sugars was almost compatible with that of the extractabilities. The polypyridine-macrocycles represent rationally designed multifunctional artificial receptors for ribofuranosides.

New polypyridine-macrocyclic receptors for glucopyranosides were designed and synthesized. The artificial receptors possess a terpyridine skeleton asa hydrogen-bonding site and a flexible polyoxyethylene chain as a bridge for the macrocyclic structure, in which the cavity of the receptors is large enough to incorporate pyranosides, The receptors showed high affinities for n-octyl beta-(D)-glucopyranoside, and selective binding of the receptors was observed between epimeric pyranosides. The results obtained in this paper demonstrated versatility of the terpyridine skeleton as a hydrogen-bonding site for saccharides.
