Iterative Synthesis of Leishmania Phosphoglycans by Solution, Solid-Phase, and Polycondensation Approaches without Involving Any Glycosylation
摘要:
A general strategy (solution, solid-phase, and polycondensation) for the synthesis of antigenic phosphoglycans (PG) of the protozoan parasite Leishmania is presented. Phosphoglycans constitute the variable structural and functional domain of major cell-surface lipophosphoglycan (LPG) and secreted proteophosphoglycan (PPG), the molecules involved in infectivity and survival of the Leishmania parasite inside human macrophages. We have shown that the chemically labile, anomerically phosphodiester-linked phosphoglycan repeats can be assembled in an iterative and efficient manner from a single key intermediate, without involving any glycosylation steps. Furthermore, the phosphoglycan chain can be extended toward either the nonreducing (6'-OH) or the reducing (1-OH) end. We also describe a new and efficient solid-phase methodology to construct phosphoglycans based on design and application of a novel cis-allylphosphoryl solid-phase linker that enabled the selective cleavage of the first anomeric-phosphodiester linkage without affecting any of the other internal anomeric-phosphodiester groups of the growing PG chain on the solid support. The strategy to construct larger phosphoglycans in a one-pot synthesis by polycondensation of a single key intermediate is also described, enabling CD spectrometric measurements to show the helical nature of phosphoglycans. Our versatile synthetic approach provides easy access to Leishmania phosphoglycans and the opportunity to address key immunological, biochemical, and biophysical questions pertaining to the phosphoglycan family (LPG and PPG) unique to the parasite.

Antigenic phosphoglycan repeats of the Leishmania parasite can be assembled in a flexible and efficient manner without involving any glycosidation steps, and the chain can be extended either towards the non-reducing (6′-OH) or reducing (1-OH) end suitable for synthesis of lipophosphoglycan, proteophosphoglycan and analogues.
