Rivero-Barbarroja G, Carmen Padilla-Pérez M, Maisonneuve S, Isabel García-Moreno M, Tiet B, Vocadlo DJ, Xie J, García Fernández JM, Ortiz Mellet C. sp 2-Iminosugar azobenzene O-glycosides: Light-sensitive glycosidase inhibitors with unprecedented tunability and switching factors. Bioorg Chem 2024; 150:107555. [PMID: 38885548 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2024.107555] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2024] [Revised: 06/03/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024]
Abstract
The conventional approach to developing light-sensitive glycosidase activity regulators, involving the combination of a glycomimetic moiety and a photoactive azobenzene module, results in conjugates with differences in glycosidase inhibitory activity between the interchangeable E and Z-isomers at the azo group that are generally below one-order of magnitude. In this study, we have exploited the chemical mimic character of sp2-iminosugars to access photoswitchable p- and o-azobenzene α-O-glycosides based on the gluco-configured representative ONJ. Notably, we achieved remarkably high switching factors for glycosidase inhibition, favoring either the E- or Z-isomer depending on the aglycone structure. Our data also indicate a correlation between the isomeric state of the azobenzene module and the selectivity towards α- and β-glucosidase isoenzymes. The most effective derivative reached over a 103-fold higher inhibitory potency towards human β-glucocerebrosidase in the Z as compared with the E isomeric form. This sharp contrast is compatible with ex-vivo activation and programmed self-deactivation at physiological temperatures, positioning it as a prime candidate for pharmacological chaperone therapy in Gaucher disease. Additionally, our results illustrate that chemical tailoring enables the engineering of photocommutators with the ability to toggle inhibition between α- and β-glucosidase enzymes in a reversible manner, thus expanding the versatility and potential therapeutic applications of this approach.

Abstract
Oligosaccharides have myriad functions throughout biological processes1,2. Chemical synthesis of these structurally complex molecules facilitates investigation of their functions. With a dense concentration of stereocentres and hydroxyl groups, oligosaccharide assembly through O-glycosylation requires simultaneous control of site, stereo- and chemoselectivities3,4. Chemists have traditionally relied on protecting group manipulations for this purpose5-8, adding considerable synthetic work. Here we report a glycosylation platform that enables selective coupling between unprotected or minimally protected donor and acceptor sugars, producing 1,2-cis-O-glycosides in a catalyst-controlled, site-selective manner. Radical-based activation9 of allyl glycosyl sulfones forms glycosyl bromides. A designed aminoboronic acid catalyst brings this reactive intermediate close to an acceptor through a network of non-covalent hydrogen bonding and reversible covalent B-O bonding interactions, allowing precise glycosyl transfer. The site of glycosylation can be switched with different aminoboronic acid catalysts by affecting their interaction modes with substrates. The method accommodates a wide range of sugar types, amenable to the preparation of naturally occurring sugar chains and pentasaccharides containing 11 free hydroxyls. Experimental and computational studies provide insights into the origin of selectivity outcomes.

Abstract
C-Glycosides are important structures that are common to natural products and pharmaceutical agents. Established methods for their synthesis involve the reaction of an activated anomeric carbon. In this study, we report a conceptually new approach that involves the stereoselective Ni-catalyzed carboboration of glycals. In these reactions, not only is a C-C bond formed at the anomeric carbon, but a synthetically useful C-B bond is also installed. Upon C-B oxidation, differentially protected C-glycosides to be formed. In addition, stereospecific manipulation of the C-B bond leads to diverse C-glycosides. Finally, we report the application of this method in the synthesis of established C-glycosides, such as C-glycosyl amino acids, as well as a strategy to make all possible diastereomers at C1 and C2.

Abstract
Indole based glycosides belong to the class of pharmacologically active molecules and found in diverse natural compounds. Herein, we report the synthesis of 1,2,3-triazole bridged chirally enriched diverse indole-chalcones based glycohybrids. Three series of glycohybrids were designed and efficiently synthesized using d-glucose, d-galactose and d-mannose derived 1-azido glycosides. The reactions sequence involved were, the synthesis of indole derived chalcones which were formed via Claisen-Schmidt condensation reaction and subsequently N-propargylation which leads to the production of N-propargylated indole-chalcones. The N-propargylated indole-chalcones get transformed into 1,2,3-triazole bridged indole-chalcone based glycohybrids by reacting with 1-azido sugar glycosides under click-chemistry reaction conditions. Further, the biological activity of synthesized glycohybrids (n = 27) was assessed in-vitro against MDA-MB231, MCF-7, MDA-MB453 cancer, and MCF-10A normal cell lines. The selected compounds showed potent anti-oncogenic properties against MCF-7 and MDA-MB231 breast cancer cell line with IC50 values of 1.05 µM and 11.40 µM respectively, with very good selectivity index (SI > 161). The active compounds show better binding affinity as compared to co-crystallized inhibitor 1-(tert-butyl)-3-(p-tolyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-amine (PP1) with HCK (PTKs) proteins in molecular docking studies.

The method effectively removes ketal and acetal protecting groups from 2-deoxyglycosides which are prone to hydrolysis under acidic conditions. Moreover, it enables the selective removal of the terminal ketal over an internal one.

Abstract
Stereoselective synthesis is essential for propelling mainstream academia toward a relentless pursuit of novel and cutting-edge strategies for constructing molecules with unparalleled precision. Naturally derived benzopyrans, benzopyrones, and flavonoids are an essentially prominent group of oxa-heterocycles, highly significant targets in medicinal chemistry owing to their extensive abundance in biologically active natural products and pharmaceuticals. The molecular complexity and stereoselectivity induced by heterocycles embedded with C-glycosides have attracted considerable interest and emerged as a fascinating area of research for synthetic organic chemists. This present article emphasizes the existing growths in the strategies involving the diastereoselective synthesis of C-glycosylated benzopyrans, benzopyrones, and flavonoids using naturally acquired glycones as chiral synthons.

Abstract
S-Glycosides are more resistant to enzymatic and chemical hydrolysis and exhibit higher metabolic stability than common O-glycosides, demonstrating their widespread application in biological research and drug development. In particular, β-S-glycosides are used as antirheumatic, anticancer, and antidiabetic drugs in clinical practice. However, the stereoselective synthesis of β-S-glycosides is still highly challenging. Herein, we report an effective β-S-glycosylation using 3-O-trichloroacetimidoyl glycal and thiols under mild conditions. The C3-imidate is designed to guide Pd to form a complex with glucal from the upper face, followed by Pd-S (thiols) coordination to realize β-stereoselectivity. This method demonstrates excellent compatibility with a broad scope of various thiol acceptors and glycal donors with yields up to 87% and a β/α ratio of up to 20:1. The present β-S-glycosylation strategy is used for late-stage functionalization of drugs/natural products such as estrone, zingerone, and thymol. Overall, this novel and simple operation approach provides a general and practical strategy for the construction of β-thioglycosides, which holds high potential in drug discovery and development.

Abstract
C-1 Glycals serve as pivotal intermediates in synthesizing diverse C-glycosyl compounds and natural products, necessitating the development of concise, efficient and user-friendly methods to obtain C-1 glycosides is essential. The Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of glycal boronates is notable for its reliability and non-toxic nature, but glycal donor stability remains a challenge. Herein, we achieve a significant breakthrough by developing stable glycal boronates, effectively overcoming the stability issue in glycal-based Suzuki-Miyaura coupling. Leveraging the balanced reactivity and stability of our glycal boronates, we establish a robust palladium-catalyzed glycal-based Suzuki-Miyaura reaction, facilitating the formation of various C(sp2)-C(sp), C(sp2)-C(sp2), and C(sp2)-C(sp3) bonds under mild conditions. Notably, we expand upon this achievement by developing the DNA-compatible glycal-based cross-coupling reaction to synthesize various glycal-DNA conjugates. With its excellent reaction reactivity, stability, generality, and ease of handling, the method holds promise for widespread appication in the preparation of C-glycosyl compounds and natural products.

Abstract
We report on the syntheses of NeuAc and NeuGc-containing glycosides via the use of double carbonyl-protected N-acetyl sialyl donors. The 7-O,9-O-carbonyl protection of an N-acyl-5-N,4-O-carbonyl-protected sialyl donor markedly increased the α-selectivity during glycosylation, particularly when glycosylating the C-8 hydroxyl group of sialic acids. The N-acyl carbamates were selectively opened with ethanethiol under basic conditions to provide N-acyl amines. It is noteworthy that N-glycolyl carbamate was more reactive to nucleophiles by comparison with the N-acetyl carbamate due to the electron-withdrawing oxygen in the N-acyl group and however, allowed selective opening of the carbamates without the loss of N-glycolyl groups. To demonstrate the utility of the approach, we began by synthesizing α(2,3) and α(2,6) sialyl galactosides. Glycosylation of the hydroxy groups of galactosides at the C-6 position with the NeuAc and NeuGc donors provided the corresponding sialyl galactoses in good yields with excellent α-selectivity. However, glycosylation of the 2,3-diol galactosyl acceptor selectively provided Siaα(2,2)Gal. Next, we prepared a series of α(2,8) disialosides composed of NeuAc and NeuGc. Glycosylation of NeuGc and NeuAc acceptors at the C-8 hydroxyl group with NeuGc and NeuAc sialyl donors provided the corresponding α(2,8) disialosides, and no significant differences were detected in the reactivities of these acceptors.

Abstract
The development of novel agents with immunoregulatory effects is a keen way to combat the growing threat of inflammatory storms to global health. To synthesize pseudo-steroidal glycosides tethered by ether bonds with promising immunomodulatory potential, we develop herein a highly effective deoxygenative functionalization of a novel steroidal donor (steroidation) facilitated by strain-release, leveraging cost-effective and readily available Sc(OTf)3 catalysis. This transformation produces a transient steroid-3-yl carbocation which readily reacts with O-, C-, N-, S-, and P-nucleophiles to generate structurally diverse steroid derivatives. DFT calculations were performed to shed light on the mechanistic details of the regioselectivity, underlying an acceptor-dependent steroidation mode. This approach can be readily extended to the etherification of sugar alcohols to enable the achievement of a diversity-oriented, pipeline-like synthesis of pseudo-steroidal glycosides in good to excellent yields with complete stereo- and regiospecific control for anti-inflammatory agent discovery. Immunological studies have demonstrated that a meticulously designed cholesteryl disaccharide can significantly suppress interleukin-6 secretion in macrophages, exhibiting up to 99% inhibition rates compared to the negative control. These findings affirm the potential of pseudo-steroidal glycosides as a prospective category of lead agents for the development of novel anti-inflammatory drugs.

Abstract
Activation of glycosyl methylpropiolates by TfOH was investigated. Armed and superarmed glycosyl donors can be activated by use of 0.2 equivalent TfOH whereas 1.0 equivalent of TfOH was required for the activation of the disarmed glycosyl donors. All the glycosidations gave very good yields. The method is suitable for synthesis of glycosides and disaccharides and it may result in the hydrolysis of the interglycosidic bond if the sugar at the non-reducing end is armed or superarmed. These problems are not seen when gold-catalyzed activation procedures are invoked for the activation of glycosyl alkynoates.

Abstract
Herein, we present an efficient Pd-catalysed method for stereoselective synthesis of chromone C-glycosides from various glycals. We successfully applied this method to various glycals with different protecting groups, yielding the corresponding glycosides in 41-78% yields. Additionally, we investigated the potential of this approach for the late-stage modification of natural products and pharmaceutical compounds linked to glycals, leading to the synthesis of their respective glycosides. Furthermore, we extended our research to gram-scale synthesis and demonstrated its applicability in producing various valuable products, including 2-deoxy-chromone C-glycosides. In summary, our work introduces a novel library of chromone glycosides, which holds promise for advancing drug discovery efforts.

Abstract
As a beneficial natural flavonoid, genistein has demonstrated a wide range of biological functions via regulating a number of targets and signaling pathways, such as anti-cancer, antioxidant, antibacterial, antiinflammatory, antifungal, antiviral, iron chelation, anti-obesity, anti-diabetes, and anti-hypertension. Pub- Med/Medline and Web of Science were searched using appropriate keywords until the end of December 2023. Despite its many potential benefits, genistein's clinical application is limited by low hydrophilicity, poor solubility, and suboptimal bioavailability due to its structure. These challenges can be addressed through the conversion of genistein into glycosides. Glycosylation of active small molecules may enhance their solubility, stability, and biological activity. In recent years, extensive research has been conducted on the synthesis, properties, and anticancer activity of glycoconjugates. Previous reviews were devoted to discussing the biological activities of genistin, with a little summary of the biosynthesis and the structure-activity relationship for their anticancer activity of genistein glycoside derivatives. Therefore, we summarized recent advances in the biosynthesis of genistein glycosylation and discussed the antitumor activities of genistein glycoside derivatives in a structure-activity relationship, which may provide important information for further development of genistein derivatives.

Abstract
The increase in the number of bacteria that are resistant to multiple antibiotics poses a serious clinical problem that threatens the health of humans worldwide. Nadifloxacin (1) is a highly potent antibacterial agent with broad-spectrum activity. However, its poor aqueous solubility has limited its use to topical applications. To increase its solubility, it was glycosylated herein to form a range of trans-linked (3a-e) and cis-linked (7a,b) glycosides, each of which was prepared and purified to afford single anomers. The seven glycoside derivatives (3a-e, 7a,b) were examined for potency against eight strains of S. aureus, four of which were methicillin-resistant. Although less potent than free nadifloxacin (1), the α-L-arabinofuransoside (3a) was effective against all strains that were tested (minimum inhibitory concentrations of 1-8 μg/mL compared to 0.1-0.25 μg/mL for nadifloxacin), demonstrating the potential of this glycoside as an antibacterial agent. Estimation of Log P as well as observations made during preparation of these compounds reveal that the solubilities of the glycosides were greatly improved compared with nadifloxacin (1), raising the prospect of its use in oral applications.

Abstract
The addition of 2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives with parallel iodination of differently protected glycals has been achieved using a double molar excess of molecular iodine under mild conditions. The corresponding thiadiazole derivatives of N-glycosides were obtained in good yields and anomeric selectivity. The usage of iodine as a catalyst makes this method easy, inexpensive, and successfully useable in reactions with sugars. Thiadiazole derivatives were tested in a panel of three tumor cell lines, MCF-7, HCT116, and HeLa. These compounds initiated biological response in investigated tumor models in a different rate. The MCF-7 is resistant to the tested compounds, and the cytometry assay indicated low increase in cell numbers in the sub- G1 phase. The most sensitive are HCT-116 and HeLa cells. The thiadiazole derivatives have a pro-apoptotic effect on HCT-116 cells. In the case of the HeLa cells, an increase in the number of cells in the sub-G1- phase and the induction of apoptosis was observed.

Abstract
The 4S-Ag(I)-C base pair (4S, 3-((2-(methylthio)pyrimidin-4-yl)thio)propane-1,2-diol; C, deoxycytidine) represents the first metal-mediated base pair comprising an S-glycosidic nucleoside analogue. We report here the synthesis of the phosphoramidite suitable for the automated solid-phase synthesis of DNA oligonucleotides containing 4S and its silver(I)-binding ability. The DNA duplexes comprising a 4S:C mispair exhibit a large thermal stabilization upon the addition of one equivalent of silver ions, giving rise to the formation of the above-mentioned silver(I)-mediated base pair. By formally replacing the sulfur atom in the glycosidic bond by an oxygen atom, i.e., by applying 3-((2-(methylthio)pyrimidin-4-yl)oxy)propane-1,2-diol (4 O) as the artificial nucleoside analogue, the participation of this atom as a donor atom in silver(I)-mediated base pairing is shown to be neglectable.Supplemental data for this article is available online at.

Abstract
Burkholderia gladioli is a Gram-negative bacterium that biosynthesizes a cocktail of potent antimicrobial compounds, including the antifungal phenolic glycoside sinapigladioside. Herein, we report the total synthesis of the proposed structures of gladiosides I and II, two structurally related phenolic glycosides previously isolated from B. gladioli OR1 cultures. Importantly, the physical and analytical data of the synthetic compounds were in significant discrepancies with the natural products suggesting a misassignment of the originally proposed structures. Furthermore, we have uncovered an acid-catalyzed fragmentation mechanism converting the α,β-unsaturated methyl carbamate-containing gladioside II into the aldehyde-containing gladioside I. Our results lay the foundation for the expeditious synthesis of derivatives of these Burkholderia-derived phenolic glycosides, which would enable to decipher their biological roles and potential pharmacological properties.

Abstract
A novel, multifunctional, tetrazine-containing neoglycoside auxiliary has been synthesized in three steps and 28% overall yield. The oxyamine was conjugated with unprotected carbohydrates under aqueous conditions (pH = 4.7), with DMF as a cosolvent, to provide neoglycosides in yields ranging between 51% and 68%. This auxiliary displayed broad advantages in the isolation and purification of complex carbohydrate mixtures, compatibility during extension by glycosyltransferases, and direct conjugation to chemical probes. Furthermore, the auxiliary can be removed in 96% yield under acidic conditions (0.25% TFA in H2O) that leave glycosidic linkages intact. Thereby, the tetrazine-containing neoglycoside auxiliary can serve to facilitate future glycomics investigations.

Abstract
Arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disease accompanied by pathological reactions such as swelling, redness, fever, and pain in various joint areas. The drugs currently available to treat arthritis are associated with diverse side-effects. Therefore, there is a need for safer and more effective treatments to alleviate the inflammation of arthritis with fewer side-effects. In this study, a new sterol, Δ8(14)-ergostenol, was discovered, and its glycosides were synthesized and found to be more efficient in terms of synthesis or anti-inflammatory activity than either spinasterol or 5,6-dihydroergosterol is. Among these synthetic glycosides, galactosyl ergostenol inhibited the expression of inflammatory mediators in TNF-α-stimulated FLS and TNF-α-induced MMPs and collagen type II A1 degradation in human chondrocytes. These results suggest the new galactosyl ergostenol as a treatment candidate for arthritis.

Abstract
Reductive cleavage of methyl 3,4-O-benzylidene-α-L-fucopyranosides with BH3·THF-TfOH and NaCNBH3-TfOH systems resulted in enhanced reaction rates and selectivity compared to BH3·THF-Bu2BOTf. With this latter system, the nature of the O-2 substituent exerted a clear control on the reactivity but practically did not affect the regioselectivity. With TfOH the direction of cleavage was determined, as expected, by the configuration of the acetal carbon atom, but slightly influenced by its competitive epimerization. Protic conditions provided higher regioselectivity in the openings of the exo isomers, affording a useful approach to the practical synthesis of 3-O-benzyl ethers.

Abstract
Addition of bromine and chlorine to O-peracylated 1-CN-, COOMe- and CONH2-substituted glycals was studied under ionic and radical conditions. The main or exclusive products were the corresponding 2,3-trans-diaxial (3-bromo-3-deoxy-α-d-heptopyranosylbromide)onic acid derivatives. Bromination of the O-peracetylated d-lyxo-hept-2-enopyranosononitrile and all chlorinations proved selective towards the 2-axial-3-equatorial (3-halogeno-3-deoxy-α-d-heptopyranosylhalide)onic acid derivatives. Silver triflate promoted glycosylation of methanol was successful with each 2,3-trans-diaxial (3-bromo-3-deoxy-α-d-heptopyranosylbromide)onic acid derivative, however, several attempted nucleophilic substitution and elimination reactions gave the parent glycal only.

Abstract
Modification of alkyl glycosides, to alter their properties and widen the scope of potential applications, is of considerable interest. Here, we report the synthesis of new anionic alkyl glycosides with long carbohydrate chains, using two different approaches: laccase/2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) oxidation of a long-carbohydrate-chain alkyl glycoside and cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase)-catalyzed elongation of anionic alkyl glycosides. The laccase/TEMPO oxidation of dodecyl β- d-maltooctaoside proceeded efficiently with the formation of aldehyde and acid products. However, depolymerization occurred to a large extent, limiting the product yield and purity. On the other hand, CGTase-catalyzed coupling/disproportionation reactions with α-cyclodextrin and dodecyl β- d-maltoside diuronic acid (DDM-2COOH) or octyl β- d-glucuronic acid (OG-COOH) as substrates gave high conversions, especially when the CGTase Toruzyme was used. It was found that pH had a strong influence on both the enzyme activity and the acceptor specificity. With non-ionic substrates (dodecyl β- d-maltoside and octyl β- d-glucoside), Toruzyme exhibited high catalytic activity at pH 5-6, but for the acidic substrates (DDM-2COOH and OG-COOH) the activity was highest at pH 4. This is most likely due to the enzyme favoring the protonated forms of DDM-2COOH and OG-COOH, which exist at lower pH (pKa about 3).
