CD1a-binding glycosphingolipids stimulating human autoreactive T-cells: synthesis of a family of sulfatides differing in the acyl chain moiety
摘要:
Native sulfatide (a mixture of 3-sulfated beta-D-galactopyranosylceramides with different fatty acids at the ceramide moiety) is an antigen presented by CD1a proteins. Herein the preparation of four sulfatides, which are constituents of the natural mixture and bear palmitic, stearic, behenic or nervonic fatty acid chains, is described. Azidosphingosine was stereoselectively synthesized through a CuCN-catalyzed allylic alkylation of a hexenitol dimesylate derived from D-xylose; beta-glycosylation of azidosphingosine, with a suitable D-galactosyl trichloroacetimidate led, after reduction of the azido, group, to the galactosylsphingosine skeleton, which was derivatized with the different fatty acids. Final regioselective 3-sulfation gave the desired sulfatides, which were tested for activation of sulfatide-specific and CD1a-restricted T-cell clones. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Sulfated mono- and disaccharides were synthesised by a novel sulfation method via regioselectiveactivation of the saccharides to their dibutyltin stannylene acetals, followed by treatment with sulfur trioxidetrimethylamine. This methodology was applied to the synthesis of 3′-sulfated lactosides 15 and 23, galactosylceramide sulfatide 3 and 2′-sulfated maltosides 30, 32 and 34.

AbstractPermethylated, peracetylated and perbenzoylated derivatives of glycosphingolipids (GSLs) were prepared to compare their liquid secondary ionization mass spectrometric (LSIMS) and collision‐induced dissociation tandem mass spectrometric (CID/MS/MS) fragmentation patterns and also to determine sensitivity improvement in LSIMS and matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (MALDI‐TOFMS) relative to the native species. Permethylation was carried out in the liquid phase, whereas peracetylation and perbenzoylation could be effected using either liquid (bulk)‐phase or gas‐phase procedures. Lower amounts of starting material were required for the gas‐phase derivatization (⩽ 100 pmol) compared with the bulk phase (⩽1 nmol), because the former method permits more efficient sample handling. All three types of derivatives yielded sensitivity improvements of at least two orders of magnitude over the native species in both LSIMS and MALDI‐TOFMS. The behavior of the permethylated compounds was used as the benchmark for GSL structural information content in normal and tandem mass spectra. Fragments present in spectra of the three types of derivatives generated complementary information. Permethylated GSLs favored the formation of ions related to the ceramide moieties, whereas peracetylation enhanced the production of carbohydrate‐related ions. The LSI mass spectra of perbenzoylated GSLs contained information on both ceramide and sugar portions of the molecules. Each of the LSIMS, MS/MS and MALDI‐TOFMS techniques proved to be complementary to the others in this study; the use of all three is recommended for the generation of complete structural information.
