Insightful Improvement in the Design of Potent Uropathogenic E. coli FimH Antagonists. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:pharmaceutics15020527.

Abstract
Selective antiadhesion antagonists of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) type-1 Fimbrial adhesin (FimH) are attractive alternatives for antibiotic therapies and prophylaxes against acute or recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by UPECs. A rational small library of FimH antagonists based on previously described C-linked allyl α-D-mannopyranoside was synthesized using Heck cross-coupling reaction using a series of iodoaryl derivatives. This work reports two new members of FimH antagonist amongst the above family with sub nanomolar affinity. The resulting hydrophobic aglycones, including constrained alkene and aryl groups, were designed to provide additional favorable binding interactions with the so-called FimH "tyrosine gate". The newly synthesized C-linked glycomimetic antagonists, having a hydrolytically stable anomeric linkage, exhibited improved binding when compared to previously published analogs, as demonstrated by affinity measurement through interactions by FimH lectin. The crystal structure of FimH co-crystallized with one of the nanomolar antagonists revealed the binding mode of this inhibitor into the active site of the tyrosine gate. In addition, selected mannopyranoside constructs neither affected bacterial growth or cell viability nor interfered with antibiotic activity. C-linked mannoside antagonists were effective in decreasing bacterial adhesion to human bladder epithelial cells (HTB-9). Therefore, these molecules constituted additional therapeutic candidates' worth further development in the search for potent anti-adhesive drugs against infections caused by UPEC.

Abstract
Glycodendrimers are an important class of synthetic macromolecules that can be used to mimic many structural and functional features of cell-surface glycoconjugates. Their carbohydrate moieties perform key important functions in bacterial and viral infections, often regulated by carbohydrate-protein interactions. Several studies have shown that the molecular structure, valency and spatial organisation of carbohydrate epitopes in glycoconjugates are key factors in the specificity and avidity of carbohydrate-protein interactions. Choosing the right glycodendrimers almost always helps to interfere with such interactions and blocks bacterial or viral adhesion and entry into host cells as an effective strategy to inhibit bacterial or viral infections. Herein, the state of the art in the design and synthesis of glycodendrimers employed for the development of anti-adhesion therapy against bacterial and viral infections is described.

Abstract
We describe the development of an on-cell NMR method for the rapid screening of FimH ligands and the structural identification of ligand binding epitopes. FimH is a mannose-binding bacterial adhesin expressed at the apical end of type 1 pili of uropathogenic bacterial strains and responsible for their d-mannose sensitive adhesion to host mammalian epithelial cells. Because of these properties, FimH is a key virulence factor and an attractive therapeutic target for urinary tract infection. We prepared synthetic d-mannose decorated dendrimers, we tested their ability to prevent the FimH-mediated yeast agglutination, and thus we used the compounds showing the best inhibitory activity as models of FimH multivalent ligands to set up our NMR methodology. Our experimental protocol, based on on-cell STD NMR techniques, is a suitable tool for the screening and the epitope mapping of FimH ligands aimed at the development of new antiadhesive and diagnostic tools against urinary tract infection pathogens. Notably, the study is carried out in a physiological environment, i.e. at the surface of living pathogen cells expressing FimH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pentaerythritol (2,2-bis (hydroxymethyl) propane-1,3-diol) as white crystalline odorless solid has been synthesized in 1891. Pentaerythritol is multifaceted species in many compounds, which are wildly utilized in medicine and industry. Also, multicomponent reactions (MCRs) play a crucial role in organic and medicinal chemistry. Hence, in these reactions, pentaerythritol is a versatile substrate for the synthesis of many polyfunctionalized products, because of the presence of the neopentane core and one hydroxyl group in each of the four terminal carbons. OBJECTIVE The review describes pentaerythritol multicomponent reactions in the presence of different solvents in the reaction medium to produce various compounds including pentaerythritols. This review covers the literature relevant up to 2018. CONCLUSION It is obvious from the provided review that a great deal of research has been done in this field, utilizing various mediums (solvent-free conditions, aqueous media, and organic solvents) for the synthesis of the products of containing pentaerythritols. This classification is based on the importance of economic and environmental friendly reactions. Due to the whole aforesaid reports, some reactions required heat for their progress, and some others were accompanied by microwave or ultrasonic waves.

Abstract
The synthesis of novel tetrameric and hexameric mannoside clusters bearing 1,2,3-trizole linkages via Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction ("click chemistry") is described. An attractive feature of these multiarmed mannoside clusters as potential inhibitors of uropathogenic Escherichia coli is the use of an aglycone whose length is designed to fit in the tyrosine gate. The acetylated mannosides were deprotected and the corresponding de-O-acetylated mannosides were found to exhibit good water solubility.

Abstract
The torsion angle around the N-glycoprotein linkage region (GlcNAc-Asn) is an important factor for presenting sugar on the cell surface which is crucial for many biological processes. Earlier studies using model and analogs showed that this important torsion angle is greatly influenced by substitutions in the sugar part. In the present work, uronic acid alkanamides and triazole derivatives have been designed and synthesized as newer analogs of N-glycoprotein linkage region to understand the influence of the carboxylic group on linkage region torsion as well as on molecular packing. Crystal structure of N-(β-D-galacturonopyranosyl)acetamide is solved with the space group of P22121. Comparison of the torsion angle and molecular packing of this compound with N-(β-D-galactopyranosyl)acetamide showed that changing the C6-hydoxymethyl group to the carboxylic acid group has minimum influence on the N-glycosidic torsion angle, ΦN and significant influence on the molecular packing.

Abstract
Over the past few years, synthetic methods for the preparation of complex glycopeptides have been drastically improved. The need for homogenous glycopeptides and glycoproteins with defined chemical structures to study diverse biological phenomena further enhances the development of methodologies. Selected recent advances in synthesis and applications, in which glycopeptides or glycoproteins serve as tools for biological studies, are reviewed. The importance of specific antibodies directed to the glycan part, as well as the peptide backbone has been realized during the development of synthetic glycopeptide-based anti-tumor vaccines. The fine-tuning of native chemical ligation (NCL), expressed protein ligation (EPL), and chemoenzymatic glycosylation techniques have all together enabled the synthesis of functional glycoproteins. The synthesis of structurally defined, complex glycopeptides or glyco-clusters presented on natural peptide backbones, or mimics thereof, offer further possibilities to study protein-binding events.

Abstract
The synthesis of a glycodendrimer by incorporating repetitive mannoside units onto a glucoside core was carried out to multivalently probe fundamental carbohydrate–protein interactions. The dendritic structure was constructed by a modified procedure that utilized multiple glycosylations between a thioether glycosyl donor and five elongated spacer arms of a glycosyl acceptor. The completed dendrimer bears a full carbohydrate structure, and thus should find its potential application in the study of mannose–lectin interactions.

Abstract
In order to test relevant structural parameters for effective inhibition of mannose-specific bacterial adhesion, bi- and trivalent glycopeptide α-D-mannopyranosides were synthesized that differ in their conformational properties as well as in the spatial arrangement of attached mannosyl residues. They were tested in an inhibition adhesion assay with fluorescent Escherichia coli bacteria and testing results were referenced to the inhibitory potency of methyl α-D-mannopyranoside. It was shown, that besides the nature of the mannoside aglycon moiety, scaffolding of α-D-mannopyranosides on a peptide backbone was important for the performance of the synthesized glycopeptides as inhibitors of bacterial adhesion.

Abstract
Two approaches for the synthesis of a phosphatidylinositol dimannoside (PIM₂) analogue 4 that mimics the suppressive activity of natural PIMs and also synthetic PIM₂ have been developed. This analogue, where the inositol core was replaced by glycerol, was tested for its ability to suppress cellular inflammation in a mouse model of allergic asthma and shown to be effective in suppressing airway eosinophilia. Suppression of all inflammatory cells monitored was observed, indicating a general blockade of cellular activity. These data indicate that the inositol core is not essential for this suppressive activity.

Abstract
From the authors' opinion, this chapter constitutes a modest extension of the seminal and inspiring contribution of Stowell and Lee on neoglycoconjugates published in this series [C. P. Stowell and Y. C. Lee, Adv. Carbohydr. Chem. Biochem., 37 (1980) 225-281]. The outstanding progresses achieved since then in the field of the "glycoside cluster effect" has witnessed considerable creativity in the design and synthetic strategies toward a vast array of novel carbohydrate structures and reflects the dynamic activity in the field even since the recent chapter by the Nicotra group in this series [F. Nicotra, L. Cipolla, F. Peri, B. La Ferla, and C. Radaelli, Adv. Carbohydr. Chem. Biochem., 61 (2007) 353-398]. Beyond the more classical neoglycoproteins and glycopolymers (not covered in this work) a wide range of unprecedented and often artistically beautiful multivalent and monodisperse nanostructures, termed glycodendrimers for the first time in 1993, has been created. This chapter briefly surveys the concept of multivalency involved in carbohydrate-protein interactions. The topic is also discussed in regard to recent steps undertaken in glycobiology toward identification of lead candidates using microarrays and modern analytical tools. A systematic description of glycocluster and glycodendrimer synthesis follows, starting from the simplest architectures and ending in the most complex ones. Presentation of multivalent glycostructures of intermediate size and comprising, calix[n]arene, porphyrin, cyclodextrin, peptide, and carbohydrate scaffolds, has also been intercalated to better appreciate the growing synthetic complexity involved. A subsection describing novel all-carbon-based glycoconjugates such as fullerenes and carbon nanotubes is inserted, followed by a promising strategy involving dendrons self-assembling around metal chelates. The chapter then ends with those glycodendrimers that have been prepared using commercially available dendrimers possessing varied functionalities, or systematically synthesized using either divergent or convergent strategies.

Abstract
Mannose-binding proteins on the surface of antigen-presenting cells (APCs) are capable of recognizing and internalizing foreign agents in the early stages of immune response. These receptors offer a potential target for synthetic vaccines, especially vaccines designed to stimulate T cells. We set out to synthesize a series of fluorescein-labelled O-mannosylated peptides using manual solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) on pre-loaded Wang resin, in order to test their ability to bind mannose receptors on human APCs in vitro. A flexible and reliable method for the synthesis of fluorescein-labelled O-mannosylated glycopeptides was desired in order to study their lectin-binding properties using flow cell cytometry. Two synthetic strategies were investigated: incorporation of a fluorescein label into the peptide chain via a lysine side chain epsilon-amino group at the final stage of standard Fmoc solid phase peptide synthesis or attachment of the fluorescein label to the N(alpha)-amino group of a lysine with further incorporation of a mannosylated peptide unit through the side chain N(epsilon)-amino group. The latter strategy proved more effective in that it facilitated SPPS by positioning the growing mannosylated peptide chain further removed from the fluorescein label.

Abstract
Are the liquid crystalline properties of the materials of living systems important in biological structures, functions, diseases and treatments? There is a growing consciousness that the observed lyotropic, and often thermotropic liquid crystallinity, of many biological materials that possess key biological functionality might be more than curious coincidence. Rather, as the survival of living systems depends on the flexibility and reformability of structures, it seems more likely that it is the combination of softness and structure of the liquid-crystalline state that determines the functionality of biological materials. The richest sources of liquid crystals derived from living systems are found in cell membranes, of these glycolipids are a particularly important class of components. In this critical review, we will examine the relationship between chemical structure and the self-assembling and self-organising properties of glycolipids that ultimately lead to mesophase formation.

Abstract
Pentaerythritol and bis-pentaerythritol scaffolds were used for the preparation of first generation glycodendrimers bearing aryl alpha-D-mannopyranoside residues assembled using single-step Sonogashira and click chemistry. The carbohydrate precursors were built with either para-iodophenyl, propargyl, or 2-azidoethyl aglycones whereas the pentaerythritol moieties were built with terminal azide or propargyl groups, respectively. Cross-linking abilities of this series of glycodendrimers were first evaluated with the lectin from Canavalia ensiformis (Concanavalin A). Surface plasmon resonance measurements showed these two families of mannosylated clusters as the best ligands known to date toward Escherichia coli K12 FimH with subnanomolar affinities. Tetramer 4 had a K(d) of 0.45 nM. These clusters were 1000 times more potent than mannose for their capacity to inhibit the binding of E. coli to erythrocytes in vitro.

Abstract
Self-organisation and self-assembly are critical to the stability of synthetic and biological membranes. Of particular importance is consideration of the packing arrangements of the various molecular species. Both phospho- and glycolipids can pack in ways in which curvature can be introduced into self-organised or self-assembled systems. For instance, it is known that the degree of curvature can affect the structures of any condensed phases that are formed. In this article we report on a systematic study in which we have varied the shapes of glycolipids and examined the condensed phases that they form. In doing so, we have also unified the shape dependency of lyotropic liquid crystals with those of thermotropic liquid crystals. In order to undertake this systematic study a range of different pentaerythritol derivatives was synthesized, which covers combinations of one to three alkyl chains of different lengths (6,7,9,10,11,12,14,16 carbon atoms) and three to one galactosyl heads. Mono- and di-O-galactosyl derivatives were prepared directly by glycosylation of the corresponding alcohols using 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzoyl or acetyl-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate or bromide as the donors; the tri-O-galactosyl derivatives were synthesized from O-alkyl-O-benzyl di-O-galactosyl pentaerythritol intermediates, followed by de-O-benzylation and glycosylation steps. All of the fully deprotected products were obtained by standard methods, and their self-organising and self-assembling properties examined.

Abstract
The glycocalyx of eukaryotic cells is composed of glycoconjugates, which carry highly complex oligosaccharide portions. To elucidate the biological role and function of the glycocalyx in cell-cell communication and cellular adhesion processes, glycomimetics have become targets of glycosciences, which resemble the composition and structural complexity of the glycocalyx constituents. Here, we report about the synthesis of a class of oligosaccharide mimetics of a high-mannose type, which were obtained by mannosylation of spacered mono- and oligosaccharide cores. These carbohydrate-centered cluster mannosides have been targeted as inhibitors of mannose-specific bacterial adhesion, which is mediated by so-called type 1 fimbriae. Their inhibitory potencies were measured by ELISA and compared to methyl mannoside as well as to a series of mannobiosides, and finally to the polysaccharide mannan. The obtained results suggest a new interpretation of the mechanisms of bacterial adhesion according to a macromolecular rather than a multivalency effect.

Novel calix[4 or 8]arene-based glycoconjugates exposing terminal N-acetyl-D-glucosamine clusters have been synthesized using amino acid-calixarenes as building blocks. The obtained glycosamino acid-calixarenes 9b-14b have lectin-binding ability and amplified inhibitory effects on erythrocyte agglutination induced by wheat germ (Triticum vulgaris) agglutinin (WGA). The inhibitory ability is dependent on the presence of the spacer and on the shape and rigidity of the calixarene skeleton.

Abstract
In order to evaluate their inhibition of bacterial adhesion, the carbohydrate sequences GalNAcbeta1-->4Gal and GalNAcbeta1-->4Galbeta1-->4Glc were synthesized. The disaccharide was conjugated to dendrons based on the 3,5-di-(2-aminoethoxy)-benzoic acid branching unit to yield di- and tetravalent versions of these compounds. A divalent compound was also prepared that had significantly longer spacer arms. Relevant monovalent compounds were prepared for comparison. Their anti-adhesion properties against F1C-fimbriated uropathogenic Escherichia coli were evaluated in an ELISA-type assay by using a recombinant strain and also by using Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains PAO and PAK. Adhesion inhibition was observed in all cases, and multivalency effects of up to one order of magnitude were observed. The combination of spacer and multivalency effects led to a 38-fold increase in the potency of a divalent inhibitor with long spacer arms towards the PAO strain when compared with the free carbohydrate.

Abstract
Synthetic glycoclusters are extensively used as mimetics of naturally occurring, multivalent carbohydrate ligands in various glycobiological applications. Their preparation, however, is far from trivial, and it still is a limiting factor in the study of carbohydrate binding. We herein report the synthesis of an orthogonally protected building block, N-Alloc-N'-Boc-N' '-Fmoc-alpha,alpha-bis(aminomethyl)-beta-alanine (1), and its use in the preparation of triantennary peptide glycoclusters (21-24) on a solid support. The assembly of the clusters involves removal of the amino protections of the solid-supported branching unit 1 in the order Fmoc, Boc, and Alloc, and subsequent coupling of peracetylated O-(glycopyranosyl)-N-Fmoc-L-serine pentafluorophenyl esters (galactose, glucose, mannose, and ribose) to each amino group exposed.

Abstract
Protein-carbohydrate recognition plays a crucial role in a wide range of biological processes, required both for normal physiological functions and the onset of disease. Nature uses multivalency in carbohydrate-protein interactions as a strategy to overcome the low affinity found for singular binding of an individual saccharide epitope to a single carbohydrate recognition domain of a lectin. To mimic the complex multi-branched oligosaccharides found in glycoconjugates, which form the structural basis of multivalent carbohydrate-protein interactions, so-called glycoclusters and glycodendrimers have been designed to serve as high-affinity ligands of the respective receptor proteins. To allow a rational design of glycodendrimer-type molecules with regard to the receptor structures involved in carbohydrate recognition, a deeper knowledge of the dynamics of such molecules is desirable. Most glycodendrimers have to be considered highly flexible molecules with their conformational preferences most difficult to elucidate by experimental methods. Longtime molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with inclusion of explicit solvent molecules are suited to explore the conformational space accessible to glycodendrimers. Here, a detailed geometric and conformational analysis of 15 glycodendrimers and glycoclusters has been accomplished, which differ with regard to their core moieties, spacer characteristics and the type of terminal carbohydrate units. It is shown that the accessible conformational space depends strongly on the structural features of the core and spacer moieties and even on the type of terminating sugars. The obtained knowledge about possible spatial distributions of the sugar epitopes exposed on the investigated hyperbranched neoglycoconjugates is detailed for all examples and forms important information for the interpretation and prediction of affinity data, which can be deduced from biological testing of these multivalent neoglycoconjugates.

Abstract
The only dibutyltin derivative of pentaerythritol which is observed by refluxing with dibutyltin oxide in methanol is a bis(dibutylstannylene) acetal. This is converted to the expected dibenzyl ether with benzyl bromide, in the presence of tetraethylammonium bromide in boiling toluene, but benzoylation at room temperature gives a tribenzoate. A mechanism is suggested to account for this triple activation.

Abstract
Processes such as cell-cell recognition and the initiation of signal transduction often depend on the formation of multiple receptor-ligand complexes at the cell surface. Synthetic multivalent ligands are unique probes of these complex cell-surface-binding events. Multivalent ligands can be used as inhibitors of receptor-ligand interactions or as activators of signal transduction pathways. Emerging from these complementary applications is insight into how cells exploit multivalent interactions to bind with increased avidity and specificity and how cell-surface receptor organization influences signaling and the cellular responses that result.

Abstract
Synthetic glycoclusters have gained substantial attention as mimetics of multivalent glycoconjugates. For their proposed glycobiological applications, it is advantageous to incorporate a functionalized tether into the clusters, which allows coupling to solid supports and other molecules such as reporter groups or even bioactive molecules. We herein report the use of carbohydrates as oligofunctional scaffolds for the synthesis of tethered cluster mannosides. Glycocluster 11 was prepared following two different pathways, starting either from glucose or the nonreducing disaccharide trehalose. The oligo alcohols 5 and 14 served as acceptors in the subsequent oligo-mannosylation reaction, in which three main problems were overcome: (i) incomplete glycosylation, (ii) cleavage of the core-glycoside, and (iii) ortho ester formation. Optimum conditions for the glycosylation were identified utilizing an advanced MALDI-TOF protocol.
