Chemical and enzymatic synthesis of neoglycolipids in the presence of cyclodextrins
摘要:
The efficiency of cyclodextrins (CDs), alpha-CD, beta-CD and gamma-CD, for the blotting of hydrophobic substrates to water-soluble polymers and for the synthesis of neoglycolipids using glycosyltransferase is described. CDs did not disturb HPLC purification and did not bring lather. These merits are superior to surfactants commonly used in such a case. The utility of CDs as a novel and efficient supporting material for enzymatic glycosylation is also discussed. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The Le(x) glycoside having an N-3 moiety at the omega position, which was prepared by using living cells from GlcNAcO(CH2)(12)N-3 as a starting material, was efficiently introduced into a trivalent-type carbosilane core scaffold by means of Huisgen cycloaddition reaction to yield the corresponding glycocluster having three Le(x) moieties at each end. Structural elucidation of the product was performed by a combination of NMR and mass spectroscopic analyses, and the results of the analyses supported the structure of the glycocluster. Evaluation of the glycocluster was carried out using Lotus lectin as a model lectin. Environmental changes of tryptophan residues located at or near the binding sites of Lotus lectin caused fluorescence intensity change. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
