Abstract
Oxime formation is a convenient one-step method for ligating reducing sugars to surfaces, producing a mixture of closed ring α- and β-anomers along with open-chain (E)- and (Z)-isomers. Here we show that despite existing as a mixture of isomers, N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) oximes can still be substrates for β(1,4)-galactosyltransferase (β4GalT1). β4GalT1 catalysed the galactosylation of GlcNAc oximes by a galactose donor (UDP-Gal) both in solution and in situ on the surface of liposomes, with conversions up to 60% in solution and ca. 15–20% at the liposome surface. It is proposed that the β-anomer is consumed preferentially but long reaction times allow this isomer to be replenished by equilibration from the remaining isomers. Adding further enzymes gave more complex oligosaccharides, with a combination of α-1,3-fucosyltransferase, β4GalT1 and the corresponding sugar donors providing Lewis X coated liposomes. However, sialylation using T. cruzi trans-sialidase and sialyllactose provided only very small amounts of sialyl Lewis X (sLex) capped lipid. These observations show that combining oxime formation with enzymatic elaboration will be a useful method for the high-throughput surface modification of drug delivery vehicles, such as liposomes, with cell-targeting oligosaccharides. Despite existing as a mixture of isomers, reducing sugar oximes can still be substrates for glycosyltransferases.![]()

Abstract
Among other classes of biomolecules, carbohydrates and glycoconjugates are widely involved in numerous biological functions. In addition to addressing the related synthetic challenges, glycochemists have invested intense efforts in providing access to structures that can be used to study, activate, or inhibit these biological processes. Over the past few decades, aminooxylated carbohydrates have been found to be key building blocks for achieving these goals. This review provides the first in-depth overview covering several aspects related to the syntheses and applications of aminooxylated carbohydrates. After a brief introduction to oxime bonds and their relative stabilities compared to related C═N functions, synthetic aspects of oxime ligation and methodologies for introducing the aminooxy functionality onto both glycofuranosyls and glycopyranosyls are described. The subsequent section focuses on biological applications involving aminooxylated carbohydrates as components for the construcion of diverse architectures. Mimetics of natural structures represent useful tools for better understanding the features that drive carbohydrate-receptor interaction, their biological output and they also represent interesting structures with improved stability and tunable properties. In the next section, multivalent structures such as glycoclusters and glycodendrimers obtained through oxime ligation are described in terms of synthetic design and their biological applications such as immunomodulators. The second-to-last section discusses miscellaneous applications of oxime-based glycoconjugates, such as enantioselective catalysis and glycosylated oligonucleotides, and conclusions and perspectives are provided in the last section.

Abstract
Synthetic glycoclusters and their related biological applications have stimulated increasing interest over the last decade. As a prerequisite to discovering active and selective therapeuticals, the development of multivalent glycoconjugates with diverse topologies is faced with inherent synthetic and structural characterisation difficulties. Here we describe a new series of molecularly-defined glycoclusters that were synthesized in a controlled manner using a robust and versatile divergent protocol. Starting from a Regioselectively Addressable Functionalized Template (RAFT) carrier, either a polylysine dendritic framework or a second RAFT, then 16 copies of βGal, αMan, βLac or cancer-related Thomsen-Freidenreich (αTF) antigen were successively conjugated within the same molecule using oxime chemistry. We thus obtained a new generation of dendri-RAFTs glycoclusters with high glycosidic density and variable spatial organizations. These compounds displaying 16 endgroups were unambiguously characterized by NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Further biological assays between a model lectin from Canavalia ensiformis (ConA) and mannosylated glycoclusters revealed a higher inhibition potency than the tetravalent counterpart, in particular for the hexadecavalent polylysine skeleton. Together with the efficiency of the synthetic and characterisation processes, this preliminary biological study provided clear evidence of promising properties that make the second generation of cyclopeptide-based glycoclusters attractive for biomedical applications.
