Abstract
N-Acetyllactosamine is a common saccharide motif found in various biologically active glycans. This motif usually works as a backbone for additional modifications and thus significantly influences glycan conformational behavior and biological activity. In this work, we have investigated the type-2 N-acetyllactosamine scaffold using the complete series of its monodeoxyfluorinated analogs. These glycomimetics have been studied by molecular mechanics, quantum mechanics, X-ray crystallography, and various NMR techniques, which have provided a comprehensive and complete insight into the role of individual hydroxyl groups in the conformational behavior and lipophilicity of N-acetyllactosamine.

Abstract
Anomeric stereocontrol is usually one of the major issues in the synthesis of complex carbohydrates, particularly those involving β-configured 2,6-dideoxyglycoside and d/l-rhamnoside moieties. Herein, we report that 2-(diphenylphosphinoyl)acetyl is highly effective as a remote stereodirecting group in the direct synthesis of these challenging β-glycosides under mild conditions. A deoxy-trisaccharide as a mimic of the sugar chain of landomycin E was prepared stereospecifically in high yield. The synthetic potential was also highlighted in the synthesis of Citrobacter freundii O-antigens composed of a [→4)-α-d-Manp-(1→3)-β-d-Rhap(1→4)-β-d-Rhap-(1→] repeating unit, wherein the convergent assembly up to a nonasaccharide was realized with a strongly β-directing trisaccharide donor. Variable-temperature NMR studies indicate the presence of intermolecular H-bonding between the donor and the bulky acceptor as direct spectral evidence in support of the concept of hydrogen-bond-mediated aglycone delivery.

Abstract
Carbohydrate-protein interactions are involved in a myriad of biological processes. Thus, glycomimetics have arisen as one of the most promising synthetic targets to that end. Within the broad variety of glycomimetics, thiodisaccharides have proven to be excellent tools to study these processes, and even more, some of them unveiled interesting biological activities. This review brings together research made on the introduction of N-acetylhexosamine residues into thiodisaccharides to date, passing through classic substitution (as SN 2, thioglycosylation and ring-opening reactions) and addition (as thiol-ene coupling and Michael-type additions) reactions. Recent and interesting developments regarding addition reactions to vinyl azides, cross-coupling reactions and novel chemoenzymatic methods are also discussed.

Abstract
Two approaches for the synthesis of the thiodisaccharide β-S-GlcA(1→3)β-S-AllNAc are described here. The target disaccharide was a C-3 epimer and thio-analogue of the hyaluronic acid repetitive unit, tuned with a thiopropargyl anomeric group for further click conjugation. Thus, we analysed and tested two convenient sequences, combining the two key steps required to introduce the thioglycosidic bonds and consequently reach the target molecule: the SN2 substitution of a good leaving group (triflate) present at C-3 of a GlcNAc derivative and the introduction of the anomeric thiopropargyl substituent. The use of a 2-azido precursor showed to be a convenient substrate for the SN2 step. Nevertheless, further protecting group manipulation and the introduction of the thiopropargyl anomeric residue were then required. This approach showed to provide access to a variety of thiodisaccharide derivatives as interesting building blocks for the construction of neoglycoconjugates.

Abstract
The syntheses of β-S-GlcA(1→3)GlcNAc and β-S-Gal(1→3)GlcNAc thiodisaccharides, which can be considered mimetics of the repeating units of hyaluronan and keratan respectively, were achieved by SN2 displacement of a triflate group allocated at the 3-position of a convenient 2-azido-4,6-O-benzylidene-2-deoxy-β-d-allopyranose precursor by the corresponding nucleophilic suitable protected thioaldoses derived from glucuronic acid (GlcA) and galactose (Gal). The study of the reaction led to the finding that the vinyl azide formed by competitive E2 reaction of the mentioned triflate was an interesting precursor of a new kind of 2,3-dideoxy-2-azido-(1→2) thiodisaccharides through an addition reaction. Determination of the stereochemistry of the new stereocenter at C-2 was achieved by NOESY experiments. Final protecting group manipulation of the (1→3) thiodisaccharides led to a family of derivatives that could be used as building blocks for the synthesis of complex glycomimetics.

Abstract
![]()
A series
of derivatives of the 4,5-disubstituted class of 2-deoxystreptamine
aminoglycoside antibiotics neomycin, paromomycin, and ribostamycin
was prepared and assayed for (i) their ability to inhibit protein
synthesis by bacterial ribosomes and by engineered bacterial ribosomes
carrying eukaryotic decoding A sites, (ii) antibacterial activity
against wild type Gram negative and positive pathogens, and (iii)
overcoming resistance due to the presence of aminoacyl transferases
acting at the 2′-position. The presence of five suitably positioned
residual basic amino groups was found to be necessary for activity
to be retained upon removal or alkylation of the 2′-position
amine. As alkylation of the 2′-amino group overcomes the action
of resistance determinants acting at that position and in addition
results in increased selectivity for the prokaryotic over eukaryotic
ribosomes, it constitutes an attractive modification for introduction
into next generation aminoglycosides. In the neomycin series, the
installation of small (formamide) or basic (glycinamide) amido groups
on the 2′-amino group is tolerated.

Abstract
Extensive study of the diastereoselective synthesis of l-pyranosides utilizing hydroboration of substituted exo-glucals (5-enopyranosides) obtained from d-sugars is presented. On the basis of this study we present the empirical rules describing the reaction stereoselectivity and the correlation between the yield of the l-ido product and the size of protecting groups used. Application of these guidelines revealed that the hydroboration of methyl 2,3-O-methyl-6-deoxy-α-d-xylo-hex-5-enopyranoside resulted in exclusive formation of l-ido product with high yield. This method can be successfully applied to the synthesis of l-iduronic acid being an essential component of anticoagulant drugs with diastereoselectivity superior to previously published protocols.

Abstract
Sulphonylurea compounds have versatile activities such as antidiabetic, diuretic, herbicide, oncolytic, antimalarial, antifungal and anticancer. The present study describes the design, synthesis and in vivo testing of novel glycosylated aryl sulfonylurea compounds as antihyperglycaemic agents in streptozocine-induced diabetic mice. The rational for the introduction of the glucosamine moiety is to enhance selective drug uptake by pancreatic β-cells in order to decrease the cardiotoxic side effect commonly associated with sulfonylurea agents. 2-Deoxy-2-(4-chlorophenylsulfonylurea)-d-glucopyranose was found to be the most potent antihyperglycaemic agents among the synthesized compounds in diabetic mice. This investigation indicates the importance of this novel class as potential antihyperglycaemic agents.

Abstract
We report the synthesis of a tetrasaccharide and two pentasaccharide fragments of the Le(a)Le(x) tumor-associated carbohydrate antigen α-L-Fuc-(1→4)-[β-D-Gal-(1→3)]-β-D-GlcNAc-(1→3)-β-D-Gal-(1→4)-[α-L-Fuc-(1→3)]-β-D-GlcNAc-(1→OR). The choice of protecting groups permitted a one-step global deprotection (Na/NH3(l)). The protected chlorohexyl glycoside pentasaccharide was the precursor to the hexyl glycoside, to be used as a soluble inhibitor, and the aminohexyl glycoside analogue, to be conjugated to proteins for surface immobilization and immunization experiments. We observed that a linear tetrasaccharide that contained two N-acetylglucosamine residues and a free OH group gave two distinct sets of (1)H NMR signals when the data were acquired in deuterated chloroform. Data acquisition at variable concentrations and variable temperatures suggests that the second set of NMR signals results from aggregation of the tetrasaccharide driven by the formation of intermolecular H-bonds involving the NHAc. While the formation of intra- and intermolecular H-bonds involving N-acetylgucosamine residues has been reported in non-H-bonding solvents, this is, to our knowledge, the first time that these have lead to the appearance of two distinct sets of signals in the NMR spectra. This aggregation may explain the lack of reactivity observed when an attempt is made to glycosylate such an acceptor using non-H-bonding solvents such as dichloromethane.

Abstract
A method for the investigation of the influence of protecting groups on the anomeric equilibrium in the sialic acid glycosides has been developed on the basis of the equilibration of O-sialyl hydroxylamines by reversible homolytic scission of the glycosidic bond following the dictates of the Fischer-Ingold persistent radical effect. It is found that a trans-fused 4O,5N-oxazolidinone group stabilizes the equatorial glycoside, i.e., reduces the anomeric effect, when compared to the 4O,5N-diacetyl protected systems. This effect is discussed in terms of the powerful electron-withdrawing nature of the oxazolidinone system, which in turn is a function of its strong dipole moment in the mean plane of the pyranose ring system. The new equilibration method displays a small solvent effect and is most pronounced in less polar media consistent with the anomeric effect in general. The unusual (for anomeric radicals) poor kinetic selectivity of anomeric sialyl radicals is discussed in terms of the planar π-type structure of these radicals and of competing 1,3-diaxial interactions in the diastereomeric transition states for trapping on the α- and β-faces of the radical.

Abstract
β1,6-GlcNAc-transferase (C2GnT) is an important controlling factor of biological functions for many glycoproteins and its activity has been found to be altered in breast, colon, and lung cancer cells, in leukemia cells, in the lymhomonocytes of multiple sclerosis patients, leukocytes from diabetes patients, and in conditions causing an immune deficiency. The result of the action of C2GnT is the core 2 structure that is essential for the further elongation of the carbohydrate chains of O-glycans. The catalytic mechanism of this metal-ion-independent glycosyltransferase is of paramount importance and is investigated here by using quantum mechanical (QM) (density functional theory (DFT))/molecular modeling (MM) methods with different levels of theory. The structural model of the reaction site used in this report is based on the crystal structures of C2GnT. The entire enzyme-substrate system was subdivided into two different subsystems: the QM subsystem containing 206 atoms and the MM region containing 5914 atoms. Three predefined reaction coordinates were employed to investigate the catalytic mechanism. The calculated potential energy surfaces discovered the existence of a concerted SN 2-like mechanism. In this mechanism, a nucleophilic attack by O6 facilitated by proton transfer to the catalytic base and the separation of the leaving group all occur almost simultaneously. The transition state for the proposed reaction mechanism at the M06-2X/6-31G** (with diffuse functions on the O1', O5', OGlu , and O6 atoms) level was located at C1-O6=1.74 Å and C1-O1=2.86 Å. The activation energy for this mechanism was estimated to be between 20 and 29 kcal mol⁻¹, depending on the method used. These calculations also identified a low-barrier hydrogen bond between the nucleophile O6H and the catalytic base Glu320, and a hydrogen bond between the N-acetamino group and the glycosidic oxygen of the donor in the TS. It is proposed that these interactions contribute to a stabilization of TS and participate in the catalytic mechanism.

Abstract
In higher eukaryotes, a variety of proteins are post-translationally modified by adding O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) residue to serine or threonine residues. Misregulation of O-GlcNAcylation is linked to a wide variety of diseases, such as diabetes, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease. GlcNAc transfer is catalyzed by an inverting glycosyltransferase O-GlcNAc transferase (uridine diphospho-N-acetylglucosamine:polypeptide β-N-acetylaminyltransferase, OGT) that belongs to the GT-B superfamily. The catalytic mechanism of this metal-independent glycosyltransferase is of primary importance and is investigated here using QM(DFT)/MM methods. The structural model of the reaction site used in this paper is based on the crystal structures of OGT. The entire enzyme-substrate system was partitioned into two different subsystems: the QM subsystem containing 198 atoms, and the MM region containing 11,326 atoms. The catalytic mechanism was monitored by means of three two-dimensional potential energy maps calculated as a function of three predefined reaction coordinates at different levels of theory. These potential energy surfaces revealed the existence of a concerted S(N)2-like mechanism, in which a nucleophilic attack by O(Ser), facilitated by proton transfer to the catalytic base, and the dissociation of the leaving group occur almost simultaneously. The transition state for the proposed reaction mechanism at the MPW1K level was located at C1-O(Ser) = 1.92 Å and C1-O1 = 3.11 Å. The activation energy for this passage was estimated to be ~20 kcal mol(-1). These calculations also identified, for the first time for glycosyltransferases, the substrate-assisted mechanism in which the N-acetamino group of the donor participates in the catalytic mechanism.

Abstract
On the basis of the highly branched ovomucoid-type undecasaccharide that had been shown previously to be an endogenous ligand for CD69 leukocyte receptor, a systematic investigation of smaller oligosaccharide mimetics was performed based on linear and branched N-acetyl-d-hexosamine homooligomers prepared synthetically using hitherto unexplored reaction schemes. The systematic structure-activity studies revealed the tetrasaccharide GlcNAcbeta1-3(GlcNAcbeta1-4)(GlcNAcbeta1-6)GlcNAc (compound 52) and its alpha-benzyl derivative 49 as the best ligand for CD69 with IC(50) as high as 10(-9) M. This compound thus approaches the affinity of the classical high-affinity neoglycoprotein ligand GlcNAc(23)BSA. Compound 68, GlcNAc tetrasaccharide 52 dimerized through a hydrophilic flexible linker, turned out to be effective in activating CD69(+) lymphocytes. It also proved efficient in enhancing natural killing in vitro, decreasing the growth of tumors in vivo, and activating the CD69(+) tumor infiltrating lymphocytes examined ex vivo. This compound is thus a candidate for carbohydrate-based immunomodulators with promising antitumor potential.

Abstract
Angiogenesis imaging agents for single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) play a role in diagnosing tumor-induced angiogenesis as well as tumor metastasis. We synthesized and evaluated radiolabeled RGD glycopeptides by incorporation of the [(99m)Tc(CO)(3)(H(2)O)(3)](+). (99m)Tc labeled glucosamino-D-c(RGDfK) ([(99m)Tc]2) was prepared in 90-93% radiochemical yields (decay corrected). In vitro cell binding assays demonstrated selective binding [(99m)Tc]2 to human umbilical vein endothelial (HUVE) cells, with inhibition of binding to 37.3% of control levels by 10 microM of cold authentic compounds. In addition, [(99m)Tc]2 was shown to have high binding affinity to purified alpha(v)beta(3) integrin (IC(50)=1.5 nM). These results suggest that these radiolabeled RGD glycopeptides may have value for non-invasive assessment of angiogenesis.

Abstract
Protected trisaccharides containing N-acetylglucosamine can adopt unexpected conformations through the formation of hydrogen bonds involving the amide group. This conformational behavior was observed by NMR spectroscopy when three protected trisaccharides were dissolved in deuterated chloroform and to a lesser extent in deuterated dichloromethane. In contrast, NMR spectra of the same analogues acquired in the hydrogen bond-accepting solvents deuterated acetonitrile and dimethylsulfoxide showed that the N-acetylglucosamine residues adopted the expected 4C1 conformation.

Abstract
[reaction: see text] The 4-OH groups of both alpha- and beta-methyl glycosides of N-acetylglucosamine, protected with an oxazolidinone spanning the nitrogen and O-3, and bearing benzyl or silyl protection on O-6, show excellent reactivity as acceptors in couplings to a range of glycosyl donors. The enhanced reactivity of these acceptors is attributed in part to the tied back nature of the oxazolidinone, which reduces hindrance around the nucleophilic oxygen. The N-acetyloxazolidinone function also reduces the tendency seen in simple N-acetylglucosamines toward amide glycosylation, and removes the possibility of problematic hydrogen bonding networks. In the beta-, but not the alpha-, series selective hydrolysis of the N-acetyloxazolidinone directly to the N-acetylglucosamine was possible with barium hydroxide, a feature attributed to chelate formation between the acetamide carbonyl group and the glycosidic oxygen in the beta-series.

Abstract
[structures: see text] Syntheses and structural analyses of bivalent carbohydrates based on anilides of glucuronic acid are described. Secondary anilides predominantly adopted the Z-anti structure; there is also evidence for population of the Z-syn isomer. Bivalent tertiary anilides displayed two signal sets in their NMR spectra, consistent with the presence of (i) a major isomer where both amides have E configurations (EE) and (ii) a minor isomer where one amide is E and the other Z (EZ). Qualitative NOE/ROE spectroscopic studies in solution support the proposal that the anti conformation is preferred for E amides. The crystal structure of one bivalent tertiary anilide showed E-anti and E-syn structural isomers; intramolecular carbohydrate-carbohydrate stacking was observed and mediated by carbonyl-pyranose, azide-azide, and pyranose-aromatic interactions. The EE to EZ isomer ratio, or the degree of folding, for tertiary amides, was greatest for a bivalent compound containing two alpha-glycosyl azide groups; this was enhanced in water, suggesting that hydrophobic interactions are partially but not wholly responsible. Computational methods predicted azide-aromatic (N...H-C interaction) and azide-azide interactions for folded isomers. The close contact of the azide and aromatic protons (N...H-C interaction) was observed upon examination of the close packing in the crystal structure of a related monomer. It is proposed that the alpha-azide group is more optimally aligned, compared to the beta-azide, to facilitate interaction and minimize the surface area of the hydrophobic groups exposed to water, and this leads to the increased folding. The alkylation of bivalent secondary anilides induces a switch from Z to E amide that alters the scaffold orientation. The synthesis of a bivalent mannoside, based on a secondary anilide scaffold, for investigation of mannose-binding receptor cross-linking and lattice formation is described.

Abstract
Mimetic protein cores were created that align a set of l-Phe, d-Phe, or l-Leu residues in a parallel or an antiparallel arrangement in chloroform. Not all cores show a single conformation at room temperature. Stable structures require a synergistic relationship between the H-bonding groups and the residues within the core. The spatial arrangement of the side chains dictates whether a zippered or a crossed pattern of H-bonds is observed for these cores. Variable-temperature (1)H NMR experiments were used to determine the strengths of the H-bonds. The existence of H-bonds was verified through FTIR spectroscopic analysis. Large temperature coefficients exist for some protons of aromatic rings that are held in a T-shaped arrangement. A comparison of these temperature coefficients shows that a more stable core is obtained by combining benzenoid and nitrobenzenoid rings as compared to benzenoid rings. Structures were determined using a combination of 2D NMR analysis and molecular modeling.

Abstract
[structures: see text] The synthesis of anilides derived from glucuronic acid is described. Secondary anilides had a Z configuration in the solid state and showed intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen bonding. However, on the basis of NMR and IR studies, there was generally no evidence for the same hydrogen bonding in solution. Tertiary anilides showed a strong preference for the E configuration on the basis of NOE studies and molecular mechanics calculations. The alkylation of the secondary anilides induces a configurational switch that alters the orientation of the aromatic group with respect to the pyranose, which has relevance for presentation or orientation of pharmacophoric groups on carbohydrate scaffolds.

Abstract
The 7-oxasphingosine (1), 7-oxaceramide (2), the thio-oxaceramide 3, and N-methyloxaceramide 4 were synthesised from D-galactose via the building block 9. The apoptosis-inducing properties of 1-4 were compared to those of sphingosine (Sph) and ceramide (Cer) using a human neuroblastoma (SK-N-BE) and a murine-promyelocyte-derived (32d) cell line. There were no differences between 2-4 and Cer in terms of their effects on the viability of cells and their ability to trigger cell proliferation. However, in the presence of N,N-dimethylsphingosine, an inhibitor of sphingosine kinase (SPHK), Cer was more potent than thio-ceramide 3 in 32d cells, while thio-ceramide 3 was more potent and efficacious in SK-N-BE cells, where it showed an IC50 value of 3 nM compared to 100 nM for Cer. In both SK-N-BE and 32d cells, 7-oxasphingosine (1) and Sph were equally toxic, even in the presence of N,N-dimethylsphingosine.

Abstract
To what extent, if any, is the conformation of secondary amides revealed by theory? This question has now been addressed by computational methods using calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G level of theory and (1)H NMR spectroscopy. Both gas-phase and solvent studies predict a Z-anti conformation to be the lowest in energy for an evaluated series of acetamides. Moreover, Z-anti conformations may also be inferred from the chemical shifts of the N-CH alpha protons determined by NMR spectroscopy. Thus, a proton situated anti to the N-H proton consistently appears approximately 0.8 ppm further downfield than a proton situated gauche to the N-H proton. This finding, which could only be derived by using the DFT calculations of conformational preference as a guide to interpret the NMR data, might prove to be useful as a simple and convenient methodology for establishing amide conformation experimentally.

Abstract
Efficient, stereoselective glycosylation methods are required for the synthesis of complex oligosaccharides as tools in glycobiology. All glycosylation methods, which have found wide acceptance, rely on Lewis acid activation of glycosyl donors prior to glycosylation. Here, we present a new and efficient method for glycosylation under neutral or mildly basic conditions. Glycosides of methyl 2-hydroxy-3,5-dinitrobenzoate (DISAL) and its para regioisomer, methyl 4-hydroxy-3,5-dinitrobenzoate, were prepared by nucleophilic aromatic substitution. In a first demonstration of their potential as glycosyl donors, stereospecific glycosylation of methanol was achieved. In the glycosylation of more hindered alcohols, the beta-donor proved more reactive, and alpha-glucosides were predominantly formed. Glycosylation of protected monosaccharides, with free 6-OH or 3-OH, proceeded smoothly in 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP) at 40-60 degrees C in the absence of Lewis acids and bases in good to excellent yields. Glycosylation of 3-OH gave the alpha-linked disaccharide only.

Abstract
Competition experiments were used to determine that the 4-OH of a 2-deoxy-2-azidoglucose derivative is more reactive than that of the corresponding N-phthalimido glucose derivative which, in turn, is more easily glycosylated than the N-acetyl derivative. Glycosylation of the 4-OH groups of the N,N-diacetyl and N-acetyl-N-benzyl glucosamine was also found to be superior to that of the simple N-acetyl substance. The 3-O-picolinyl ether of a 4,6-O-benzylidene-protected N-acetylglucosamine was shown to have a strong intramolecular hydrogen bond to the adjacent acetamide group. This interaction does not persist in the 3-O-picolinyl-6-O-benzyl N-acetylglucosamine derivative, owing to a probable competing hydrogen bond between the 4-OH and the picolinyl ether. However, in the 3-O-picolinyl-4-O-benzyl N-acetylglucosamine regioisomer the picolinyl-acetamide hydrogen bond persists and leads to an enhancement of reactivity of the 6-OH, over and above that in the corresponding 3-O-benzyl ether, due to disruption of the typical intermolecular amide hydrogen bonding scheme. It is demonstrated that the picolinyl ether is readily removed by hydrogenolysis at atmospheric pressure and room temperature.

Abstract
Described herein is the synthesis of eight positional isomers of methylated and acetylated or benzoylated methyl 2-(acetylmethylamino)-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranoside. The compounds were generated simultaneously from methyl 2-(acetylmethylamino)-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranoside by sequential partial methylation and benzoylation and isolated in pure form by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The desired acetates were obtained by debenzoylation and acetylation of the pure isomers. Reported herein are the 1H NMR spectra of the benzoates and the electron-ionization mass spectra of the acetates and the tri-O-methyl derivative. Also reported for the acetates and the tri-O-methyl derivative are their linear temperature-programmed gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) retention indices on three different capillary columns.
