Abstract
3-Aminopropyl α-(1→3)-pentaglucoside, a fragment of α-(1→3)-glucan of the cell wall of Aspergillus fumigatus, has been synthesized in a blockwise approach. The application of mono- and disaccharide N-phenyltrifluoroacetimidates bearing a stereodirecting 6-O-benzoyl group was essential for stereoselective α-glucosylations. In the products, p-methoxyphenyl and levulinoyl groups served as orthogonal protecting groups for the anomeric position and 3-OH group, respectively. Their removal from shared blocks led to donors and acceptors that were used for the synthesis of pentasaccharides. Coupling of free α-(1→3)-pentaglucoside with biotin and bovine serum albumin (BSA) gave glycoconjugate tools for mycological studies. Immunization of mice with the BSA conjugate induced the generation of antibodies that recognize α-(1→3)-glucan on A. fumigatus cell wall and distinguish its morphotypes. This discovery represents a first step to the development of a diagnostic test system and a vaccine to detect and fight this life-threatening pathogen.

Abstract
Great interest in natural furanoside-containing compounds has challenged the development of preparative methods for their synthesis. Herein a novel reaction in carbohydrate chemistry, namely a pyranoside-into-furanoside (PIF) rearrangement permitting the transformation of selectively O-substituted pyranosides into the corresponding furanosides is reported. The discovered process includes acid-promoted sulfation accompanied by rearrangement of the pyranoside ring into a furanoside ring followed by solvolytic O-desulfation. This process, which has no analogy in organic chemistry, was shown to be a very useful tool for the synthesis of furanoside-containing complex oligosaccharides, which was demonstrated by synthesizing disaccharide derivatives α-D-Galp-(1→3)-β-D-Galf-OPr, 3-O-s-lactyl-β-D-Galf-(1→3)-β-D-Glcp-OPr, and α-L-Fucf-(1→4)-β-D-GlcpA-OPr related to polysaccharides from the bacteria Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterococcus faecalis and the brown seaweed Chordaria flagelliformis.

Abstract
AbstractAnionic fucose-containing polysaccharides (fucoidans of brown seaweeds, sulfated fucans and fucosylated chondroitin sulfates of invertebrates) are attracting a rapidly growing research interest due to different types of their biological activity discovered in recent years. In particular, algal fucoidans are characterized by large structural variations depending on the species used for their isolation and by the lack of structural regularity due to random distribution of both carbohydrate and non-carbohydrate substituents along the polymer chains. These features make it difficult to find distinct correlations between structural elements and biological properties of polysaccharides. Nevertheless, there is expectation that systematic structural and biochemical studies of fucoidans will form a basis for the development of new drugs. Herewith we summarize our recent results on the influence of fucoidan structure on blood coagulation.

Abstract
The stereodirecting effect of a 3-O-acetyl protecting group, which is potentially capable of the remote anchimeric participation, and other protecting groups in 2-O-benzyl glucosyl donors with flexible and rigid conformations has been investigated. To this aim, an array of N-phenyltrifluoroacetimidoyl and sulfoxide donors bearing either 3-O-acetyl or 3-O-benzyl groups in combination with 4,6-di-O-benzyl, 6-O-acyl-4-O-benzyl, or 4,6-O-benzylidene protecting groups was prepared. The conformationally flexible 3-O-acetylated glucosyl donor protected at other positions with O-benzyl groups demonstrated very low or no α-stereoselectivity upon glycosylation of primary or secondary acceptors. On the contrary, 3,6-di-O-acylated glucosyl donors proved to be highly α-stereoselective as well as the donor having a single potentially participating acetyl group at O-6. The 3,6-di-O-acylated donor was shown to be the best α-glucosylating block for the primary acceptor, whereas the best α-selectivity of glycosylation of the secondary acceptor was achieved with the 6-O-acylated donor. Glycosylation of the secondary acceptor with the conformationally constrained 3-O-acetyl-4,6-O-benzylidene-protected donor displayed under standard conditions (-35°C) even lower α-selectivity as compared to the 3-O-benzyl analogue. However, increasing the reaction temperature essentially raised the α-stereoselectivities of glycosylation with both 3-O-acetyl and 3-O-benzyl donors and made them almost equal. The stereodirecting effects of protecting groups observed for N-phenyltrifluoroacetimidoyl donors were also generally proven for sulfoxide donors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Constructs composed of cell wall mannan-derived moieties conjugated to immunogenic proteins could be promising agents for induction of protective anti-Candida immune responses. METHODS This report is focused on the cellular immune response differences induced by BSA-based conjugates bearing synthetic α-1,6-branched oligomannosides. For monitoring of the immune responses following active immunization we evaluated changes in the frequencies of T and B lymphocytes and their activation status in the blood and spleen. We compared the immunization-induced changes of co-stimulatory molecules CD80 and CD86 expression on blood neutrophils and Th1/Th2 polarization of the immune response based on IFN-γ, TNF-α (pro-Th1), IL-4, and IL-10 (pro-Th2) cytokines levels and induction of IL-17. RESULTS The results pointed out a comparable effect of the conjugates on the modulation of T and B lymphocytes frequencies in blood and spleen. Both conjugates induced upregulation of CD25 surface antigen on CD4(+) T lymphocytes, independently on the structural differences of oligosaccharides. The differences in structure of oligomannoside antigens or conjugate constructs were reflected in the increase of co-stimulatory molecules CD80 and CD86 expression on neutrophils, and in induced cytokine response. M5-BSA conjugate induced only a slight increase in CD80 expression but a significant increase in IFN-γ, TNF-α, and IL-10. M6-BSA conjugate induced a significant increase of CD80 expression and increase of TNF-α, IL-4, and IL-10. CONCLUSION Obtained data demonstrate the importance of cellular immune response analysis for investigation of immunomodulatory properties of oligomannoside-protein conjugates.

Abstract
Poly-β-(1→6)-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine is an exopolysaccharide secreted by numerous pathogenic bacteria, includingStaphylococcus aureus,Escherichia coli,Yersinia pestis,Bordetella pertussis,Acinetobacter baumannii,Burkholderiaspp., and others. A convergent approach was developed for the synthesis of oligosaccharide fragments consisting of 5, 7, 9, and 11 glucosamine orN-acetylglucosamine units and for the preparation of five nona-β-(1→6)-D-glucosamines with variousN-acetylation patterns. Penta- and nona-β‑(1→6)-D-glucosamines conjugated to protein carriers through a specially developed sulfhydryl linker proved to be highly immunogenic in mice and rabbits and elicited antibodies that mediated opsonic killing of multiple strains ofS. aureus(including methicillin-resistantS. aureus, MRSA) andE. coli, and protected againstS. aureusskin abscesses and lethalE. coliandB. cenocepaciaperitonitis. These findings provide a basis for the construction of a unique semisynthetic vaccine against multiple bacterial targets. Conformational studies by means of special NMR experiments and computer modeling revealed that the oligo-β-(1→6)-D-glucosamine chain exists mostly in a helix-like conformation, where the terminal monosaccharides are arranged close to each other. Owing to this feature, oligoglucosamines consisting of 2 to 7 residues easily form products of cycloglycosylation. Cyclooligo-β-(1→6)-D-glucosamines represent a new family of functionalized cyclic oligosaccharides. Owing to their molecular architectonics, these compounds are convenient scaffolds for the design of conjugates with defined valency, symmetry, flexibility, and function.

Abstract
The immunobiological efficacy of synthetically prepared mannooligosaccharides and a glucooligosaccharide mimicking the structure of Candida albicans cell wall glycans was assessed in vivo and in vitro to exploit immune responses. The exposure of mice splenocytes to BSA-based conjugates of synthetic oligomannosides and oligoglucoside revealed intense influence on T-cell subset polarization. The conjugates biased the immune responses towards Th1 and Th17 with respect to the prevalence of interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) and interleukin (IL)-17 (IL-17) over IL-4 and IL-10 levels. The inflammatory activity of the conjugates has been evaluated based on the induction of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Postvaccination, antimannooligosaccharide and antiglucooligosaccharide antisera were subjected to an evaluation of the structure-immunomodulation activity relationship. Clinical isolates of C. albicans CCY 29-3-32 and C. albicans CCY 29-3-164 were applied to study interactions between Candida cells and anti-oligosaccharide antibodies. In situ recognition of parietal oligomannosyl and oligoglucosyl sequences in C. albicans cell wall by the antisera raised against BSA-based conjugates of synthetic oligomannosides and oligoglucoside revealed the effective recognition of specific distribution of natural oligosaccharide sequences in the cell wall of C. albicans serotype A. With respect to these results, it can be concluded that new, synthetically prepared oligosaccharides mimicking Candida cell wall structures represent prospective immunobiologically effective components for further immunopharmacologically relevant Candida vaccine design.

Abstract
A fucoidan preparation was isolated from the brown alga Sargassum polycystum (Fucales, Sargassaceae). The preparation was fractionated by anion-exchange chromatography, and two highly sulfated fractions F3 and F4 were obtained. The fractions were quite similar in composition, but different in chemical structure. F4 was analyzed by chemical methods, including desulfation, methylation, Smith degradation, and partial acid hydrolysis with mass-spectrometric monitoring, as well as by NMR spectroscopy. Several 2D NMR procedures, including HMQC-TOCSY and HMQC-NOESY, were used to obtain reliable structural information from the complex spectra. Molecules of F4 were shown to contain a backbone built up mainly of 3-linked α-L-fucopyranose 4-sulfate residues, as in many other fucoidans, but rather short sequences of these residues are interspersed by single 2-linked α-D-galactopyranose residues also sulfated at position 4. This rather unusual structural feature should have a great influence on the conformation of the polymeric molecule and may be important for biological activity of the polysaccharide. Hence, F4 is an example of a new sulfated galactofucan isolated from the brown alga. According to the data obtained, the distribution of galactose residues along the polysaccharide backbone seems to be not strictly regular, but the definitive sequence of monomers in the polymeric molecules awaits additional investigation.

Abstract
Three structurally different fucoidans from the brown seaweeds Saccharina latissima (SL), Fucus vesiculosus (FV), and Cladosiphon okamuranus (CO), two chemically modified fucoidans with a higher degree of sulfation (SL-S, CO-S), and a synthetic totally sulfated octasaccharide (OS), related to fucoidans, were assessed on anticoagulant and antithrombotic activities in different in vitro experiments. The effects were shown to depend on the structural features of the compounds tested. Native fucoidan SL with a degree of sulfation (DS) of 1.3 was found to be the most active sample, fucoidan FV (DS 0.9) demonstrated moderate activity, while the polysaccharide CO (DS 0.4) was inactive in all performed experiments, even at high concentrations. Additional introduction of sulfate groups into fucoidan SL slightly decreased the anticoagulant effect of SL-S, while sulfation of CO, giving rise to the preparation CO-S, increased the activity dramatically. The high level of anticoagulant activity of polysaccharides SL, SL-S, and CO-S was explained by their ability to form ternary complexes with ATIII-Xa and ATIII-IIa, as well as to bind directly to thrombin. Synthetic per-O-sulfated octasaccharide OS showed moderate anticoagulant effect, determined mainly by the interaction of OS with the factor Xa in the presence of ATIII. Comparable tendencies were observed in the antithrombotic properties of the compounds tested.

Abstract
Microbial capsular antigens are effective vaccines but are chemically and immunologically diverse, resulting in a major barrier to their use against multiple pathogens. A β-(1→6)-linked poly-N-acetyl-d-glucosamine (PNAG) surface capsule is synthesized by four proteins encoded in genetic loci designated intercellular adhesion in Staphylococcus aureus or polyglucosamine in selected Gram-negative bacterial pathogens. We report that many microbial pathogens lacking an identifiable intercellular adhesion or polyglucosamine locus produce PNAG, including Gram-positive, Gram-negative, and fungal pathogens, as well as protozoa, e.g., Trichomonas vaginalis, Plasmodium berghei, and sporozoites and blood-stage forms of Plasmodium falciparum. Natural antibody to PNAG is common in humans and animals and binds primarily to the highly acetylated glycoform of PNAG but is not protective against infection due to lack of deposition of complement opsonins. Polyclonal animal antibody raised to deacetylated glycoforms of PNAG and a fully human IgG1 monoclonal antibody that both bind to native and deacetylated glycoforms of PNAG mediated complement-dependent opsonic or bactericidal killing and protected mice against local and/or systemic infections by Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Listeria monocytogenes, Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B, Candida albicans, and P. berghei ANKA, and against colonic pathology in a model of infectious colitis. PNAG is also a capsular polysaccharide for Neisseria gonorrhoeae and nontypable Hemophilus influenzae, and protects cells from environmental stress. Vaccination targeting PNAG could contribute to immunity against serious and diverse prokaryotic and eukaryotic pathogens, and the conserved production of PNAG suggests that it is a critical factor in microbial biology.

Abstract
Two new triterpenoid saponins 1 and 2 were isolated from the methanol extract of the roots of Acanthophyllum gypsophiloides Regel. These saponins have quillaic acid or gypsogenin moieties as an aglycon, and both bear similar sets of two oligosaccharide chains, which are 3-O-linked to the triterpenoid part trisaccharide α-L-Arap-(1→3)-[α-D-Galp-(1→2)]-β-D-GlcpA and pentasaccharide β-D-Xylp-(1→3)-β-D-Xylp-(1→3)-α-L-Rhap-(1→2)-[β-D-Quip-(1→4)]-β-D-Fucp connected through an ester linkage to C-28. The structures of the obtained saponins were elucidated by a combination of mass spectrometry and 2D NMR spectroscopy. A study of acute toxicity, hemolytic, anti-inflammatory, immunoadjuvant and antifungal activity was carried out. Both saponins 1 and 2 were shown to exhibit immunoadjuvant properties within the vaccine composition with keyhole limpet hemocyanin-based immunogen. The availability of saponins 1 and 2 as individual pure compounds from the extract of the roots of A. gypsophiloides makes it a prospective source of immunoactive agents.
