[PMID: 37216699 DOI: 10.1016/j.carres.2023.108833] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2023] [Revised: 05/04/2023] [Accepted: 05/08/2023] [Indexed: 05/24/2023]
Abstract
Monosaccharide derivatives having a double bond conjugated to a carbonyl (sugar enones or enuloses) are relevant synthetic tools. They are also suitable starting materials, or versatile intermediates, for the synthesis of a wide variety of natural or synthetic compounds with a broad spectrum of biological and pharmacological activities. The preparation of enones is mainly focused on the search for more efficient and diastereoselective synthetic methodologies. The usefulness of enuloses relies on the diverse reaction possibilities offered by alkene and carbonyl double bonds, which are prone to undergo varied reactions such as halogenation, nitration, epoxidation, reduction, addition, etc. The addition of thiol groups that led to sulfur glycomimetics, such as thiooligosaccharides, is particularly relevant. Therefore, the synthesis of enuloses and the Michael addition of sulfur nucleophiles to give thiosugars or thiodisaccharides are discussed here. Chemical modifications of the conjugate addition products to afford biologically active compounds are also reported.

Abstract
In the search for new glycosidase inhibitors, a set of benzyl β-D-Gal-S-(1→4)-3-deoxy-4-thio-α-D-hexopyranosides was synthesized. Diverse configurations were installed at C-2 and C-4 of the glucose residue. The benzyl glycosidic group was kept intact or substituted by an electron-donating or electron-withdrawing group that could also participate in hydrogen bonding. All thiodisaccharides were found to be inhibitors of E. coli β-galactosidase. In general, benzyl thiodisaccharides were better inhibitors than those substituted (NO2 or NH2) on the benzyl ring. Thiodisaccharides containing a hexopyranoside, instead of a pentopyranoside, showed a weaker inhibitory activity, except for those having the α-D-xylo configuration, which exhibited inhibition constants of the same order of magnitude. These and previous results indicated that the inhibition process by thiodisaccharides is strongly dependent on the configuration of the 3-deoxy-4-thiopyranoside, as well as its substitution pattern (such as the presence of a benzyl glycoside). The enzyme-inhibitor interaction during the hydrolysis process involves a conformational selection resulting from rotation around the thioglycosidic bond and the flexibility of the terminal six-membered ring. Thus, the mentioned structural features of the inhibitor could give rise to favorable ground state conformations for the interaction with the enzyme, similar to those found for selected thiodisaccharides in the bound state. These studies demonstrated that the performance of thiodisaccharides as enzyme inhibitors could be increased by selecting the appropriate configuration and substitution of the hexopyranoside replacing the glucose moiety of 4-thiolactose.

Abstract
Sulfur containing glycosides offer an exciting prospect for inclusion within noncanonical glycan sequences, particularly as enabling probes for chemical glycobiology and for carbohydrate-based therapeutic development. In this context, we required access to 4-thio-d-glucopyranose and sought its chemical synthesis. Unable to isolate this material in homogenous form, we observed instead a thermodynamic preference for interconversion of the pyranose to 4-thio-d-glucofuranose. Accordingly, we present an improved method to access both bis(4-thio-d-glucopyranoside)-4,4'-disulfide and 4-thio-d-glucofuranose from a single precursor, demonstrating that the latter compound can be accessed from the former using a dithiothreitol controlled reduction of the disulfide. The dithiothreitol-mediated interconversion between pyranose (monomer and disulfide) and furanose forms for this thiosugar is monitored by 1H NMR spectroscopy over a 24-h period. Access to these materials will support accessing sulfur-containing mimetics of glucose and derivatives therefrom, such as sugar nucleotides.

Abstract
Two important activities take place in the surface of Trypanosoma cruzi, the agent of Chagas disease: the trans-sialidase (TcTS) catalyzes the transfer of sialic acid from the host glycoconjugates to the mucin-like glycoproteins from the parasite and the presence of lytic antibodies recognize the epitope α-Galp(1 → 3)-β-Galp(1 → 4)-α-GlcNAcp. This antigenic structure is known to be present in the parasite mucins; however, in order to be substrates of trans-sialidase, some of the galactose residues should be in the β-Galp configuration. To study the interaction between both activities, it is important to count the synthetic structures as well as the structural-related glycomimetics. With this purpose, we addressed the synthesis of a trisaccharide and two isomeric tetrasaccharides containing the 1-S-α-Galp(1 → 3)-β-Galp motif, the thio analog of the epitope recognized by lytic antibodies. Starting with a common lactose precursor, the sulfur function was incorporated by double inversion of the configuration of the galactose residue that was further glycosylated using different activated donors. Both tetrasaccharides were good acceptors of sialic acid in the reaction catalyzed by TcTS, as determined by high-performance anion exchange chromatography.
