Two-step enzymatic selective synthesis of water-soluble ketoprofen–saccharide conjugates in organic media
摘要:
Ketoprofen-saccharide conjugates were synthesized by selectively enzymatic hydrolysis and acylation. Firstly, the (S)-ketoprofen vinyl ester was prepared by enzymatic hydrolysis of (R, S)-ketoprofen vinyl ester. Then enzymatic transesterification of (S)-ketoprofen vinyl ester with a series of saccharides were performed by the catalysis of a commercial protease from Bacillus licheniformis (BLP) in organic medium mixture of pyridine and tert-butanol. The ketoprofen was selectively conjugated onto the primary hydroxyl group of saccharides and with high yield after 72 h. Partition coefficient determination showed that all the products have better water solubility than parent ketoprofen. Chemical hydrolysis experiment indicated that 50% ketoprofen could be release from ketoprofen glucoside and maltoside in aqueous buffer (pH 7.4) within 48 h. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

The use of O-glycosyl trichloroacetimidates in the synthesis of unsymmetrical trehalose analogues
摘要:
The coupling of O-glycosyltrichloroacetimidates with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzylated monosaccharides (gluco, manno, galacto) promoted by TMSOTf is described, and the compositions of the crude reaction mixtures, determined by C-13 NMR spectroscopy, are presented. Unsymmetrical trehalose derivatives can be synthesized by such couplings. The versatility of the trichloroacetimidates for the synthesis of trehalose analogues has furthermore been demonstrated by the glycosylation of anomerically unprotected maltose heptabenzoylate affording two trehalose-containing trisaccharides, and by the synthesis of alpha-D-galactopyranosyl alpha-D-mannopyranoside.
