Synthesis of a dimeric monosaccharide lipid A mimic and its synergistic effect on the immunostimulatory activity of lipopolysaccharide
摘要:
Bacterial endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a potent immune stimulant, with the recognition of LPS and its active principal lipid A mediated by the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/MD-2 receptor complex. Due to the broad downstream implications of TLR4-mediated signalling, TLR4 ligands show great potential for immunotherapeutic manipulations. In this paper a dimeric monosaccharide lipid A mimic (3) has been designed as a potential TLR4 ligand. The chemical synthesis and the preliminary biological studies are described. Compound 3 shows a significant synergistic effect on LPS-induced ICAM-1 expression in human monocytic THP-1 cells. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

unique capsular polysaccharide (CPS) with anti-freeze properties similar to those of the well-known anti-freeze (glyco)proteins. The tetrasacchariderepeatingunit of the CPS – constituted of alternating amino sugars and uronic acid moieties in a glycosaminoglycan-like fashion with an amide-linked threonine (Thr) decoration – was synthesized as an O-n-propyl glycoside. The synthesis faced some challenging
Colwellia psychrerythraea 34H是一种嗜冷革兰氏阴性细菌,能够通过产生独特的荚膜多糖(CPS)而在零下温度下存活,该荚膜多糖具有与众所周知的抗冻(glyco)蛋白相似的抗冻特性。合成了CPS的四糖重复单元,它是由交替的氨基糖和糖醛酸部分组成,呈类似糖胺聚糖的形式,带有酰胺连接的苏氨酸(Thr)装饰物,被合成为O-正丙基糖苷。合成面临一些挑战性的特征,例如建立拥挤的[→2)α- D -Gal p(1→]部分以及两个尿嘧啶单元仅用于在其中一个区域选择性插入Thr酰胺,得到的四糖的NMR数据证实了拟南芥(C. psychrerythraeaea)多糖的结构。
