Abstract
A strategy in the discovery of anti-tuberculosis (anti-TB) drug involves targeting the enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis' (Mtb) cell wall. One of these enzymes is Galactofuranosyltransferase 2 (GlfT2) that catalyzes the elongation of the galactan chain of Mtb cell wall. Studies targeting GlfT2 have so far produced compounds showing minimal inhibitory activity. With the current challenge of designing potential GlfT2 inhibitors with high inhibition activity, computational methods such as molecular docking, receptor-ligand mapping, molecular dynamics, and Three-Dimensional-Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (3D-QSAR) were utilized to deduce the interactions of the reported compounds with the target enzyme and enabling the design of more potent GlfT2 inhibitors. Molecular docking studies showed that the synthesized compounds have binding energy values between -3.00 to -6.00 kcal mol-1. Two compounds, #27 and #31, have registered binding energy values of -8.32 ± 0.01, and -8.08 ± 0.01 kcal mol-1, respectively. These compounds were synthesized as UDP-Galactopyranose mutase (UGM) inhibitors and could possibly inhibit GlfT2. Interestingly, the analogs of the known disaccharide substrate, compounds #1-4, have binding energy range of -10.00 to -19.00 kcal mol-1. The synthesized and newly designed compounds were subjected to 3D-QSAR to further design compounds with effective interaction within the active site. Results showed improved binding energy from -6.00 to -8.00 kcal mol-1. A significant increase on the binding affinity was observed when modifying the aglycon part instead of the sugar moiety. Furthermore, these top hit compounds were subjected to in silico ADMETox evaluation. Compounds #31, #70, #71, #72, and #73 were found to pass the ADME evaluation and throughout the screening, only compound #31 passed the predicted toxicity evaluation. This work could pave the way in the design and synthesis of GlfT2 inhibitors through computer-aided drug design and can be used as an initial approach in identifying potential novel GlfT2 inhibitors with promising activity and low toxicity.

Abstract
Two fluorescent galactofuranosides were synthesized and their biological activities evaluated on non-infected and Leishmania infected macrophages. Both tagged scaffolds were able to penetrate macrophages. Compared to the activity of the parent octyl galactofuranoside used as a reference, the fluorescein-conjugate showed altered biological properties while the rhodamine 6G one synergistically acted with the lipid chain to significantly increase antiparasitic activity.

Abstract
Transglycosylation reactions biocatalyzed by the native arabinofuranosidase Araf51 and using d-galactosyl, d-fucosyl and 6-deoxy-6-fluoro-D-galactosyl derivatives as donors and acceptors provided di-to pentahexofuranosides. The immunostimulatory potency of these compounds, and more especially their ability to induce production of TNF-α, was evaluated on the murine macrophage cell line, Raw 264.7. The results obtained showed concentration-dependent and most importantly, structure-dependent responses. Interestingly, oligoarabinofuranosides belonging to the oligopentafuranoside family displayed concentration-, chain length and aglycon-dependent bioactivities irrespective of their fine chemical variations. Thus, neo-oligofuranosides in D-Galf series, as well as their D-Fucf and 6-fluorinated counterparts are indeed potential sources of immunostimulating agents.

Abstract
The multistep synthesis of a novel UDP-C-cyclohexene, designed as a high energy intermediate analogue of the UDP-galactopyranose mutase (UGM) catalyzed isomerization reaction, is reported. The synthesis of the central carbasugar involved the preparation of a galactitol derivative bearing two olefins necessary for the construction of the cyclohexene ring by a ring-closing metathesis as a key step. Further successive phosphonylation, deprotection, and UMP coupling provided the target molecule. The final molecule was assayed against UGM and compared with UDP-C-Galf, the C-glycosidic UGM substrate analogue.

Abstract
The thermodynamically less stable form of galactose-galactofuranose (Galf)-is essential for the viability of several pathogenic species of bacteria and protozoa but absent in this form in mammals, so the biochemical pathways by which Galf-containing glycans are assembled and catabolysed are attractive sites for drug action. This potential has led to increasing interest in the synthesis of molecules containing Galf residues, their subsequent use in studies directed towards understanding the enzymes that process these residues and the identification of potential inhibitors of these pathways. Major achievements of the past several years have included an in-depth understanding of the mechanism of UDP-galactopyranose mutase (UGM), the enzyme that produces UDP-Galf, which is the donor species for galactofuranosyltransferases. A number of methods for the synthesis of galactofuranosides have also been developed, and practitioners in the field now have many options for the initiation of a synthesis of glycoconjugates containing either alpha- or beta-Galf residues. UDP-Galf has also been prepared by a number of approaches, and it appears that a chemoenzymatic approach is currently the most viable method for producing multi-milligram amounts of this important intermediate. Recent advances both in the understanding of the mechanism of UGM and in the synthesis of galactofuranose and its derivatives are highlighted in this review.

Abstract
Galactofuranose (Gal(f)), the furanoic form of d-galactose produced by UDP-galactopyranose mutases (UGMs), is present in surface glycans of some prokaryotes and lower eukaryotes. Absence of the Gal(f) biosynthetic pathway in vertebrates and its importance in several pathogens make UGMs attractive drug targets. Since the existence of Gal(f) in nematodes has not been established, we investigated the role of the Caenorhabditis elegans UGM homolog glf-1 in worm development. glf-1 mutants display significant late embryonic and larval lethality, and other phenotypes indicative of defective surface coat synthesis, the glycan-rich outermost layer of the nematode cuticle. The glf homolog from the protozoan Leishmania major partially complements C. elegans glf-1. glf-1 mutants rescued by L. major glf, which behave as glf-1 hypomorphs, display resistance to infection by Microbacterium nematophilum, a pathogen of rhabditid nematodes thought to bind to surface coat glycans. To confirm the presence of Gal(f) in C. elegans, we analyzed C. elegans nucleotide sugar pools using online electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). UDP-Gal(f) was detected in wild-type animals while absent in glf-1 deletion mutants. Our data indicate that Gal(f) likely has a pivotal role in maintenance of surface integrity in nematodes, supporting investigation of UGM as a drug target in parasitic species.

Abstract
A series of selectively fluorinated and other substituted UDP-D-galactose derivatives have been evaluated as substrates for Klebsiella pneumoniae UDP-D-galactopyranose mutase. This enzyme, which catalyses the interconversion of the pyranose and furanose forms of galactose as its UDP adduct, is a prospective drug target for a variety of microbial infections. We show that none of the 2''-, 3''- or 6''-hydroxyl groups of UDP-D-galactopyranose are essential for substrate binding and turnover. However, steric factors appear to play an important role in limiting the range of substitutions that can be accommodated at C-2'' and C-6'' of the sugar nucleotide substrate. Attempts to invert the C-2'' stereochemistry from equatorial to axial, changing D-galacto- to D-talo-configuration, in an attempt to exploit the higher percentage of furanose at equilibrium in the talo-series, met with no turnover of substrate.

Abstract
Natural products with interesting biological properties and structural diversity have often served as valuable lead drug candidates for the treatment of human diseases. Salacinol, a naturally occurring alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, was shown to be one of the active principles of the aqueous extract of a medicinal plant that has been prescribed traditionally as an Ayurvedic treatment for type II diabetes. Salacinol contains an intriguing zwitterionic sulfonium-sulfate structure that comprises a 1,4-anhydro-4-thio-D-arabinitol core and a polyhydroxylated acyclic chain. Due to the unique structural features and its potential to become a lead drug candidate in the treatment of type II diabetes, a great deal of attention has been focused on salacinol and its analogues. Since the isolation of salacinol, several papers describing various synthetic routes to salacinol and its analogues have appeared in the literature. This review is aimed at highlighting the synthetic aspects of salacinol and related compounds as well as their structure-activity relationship studies.

Abstract
Many pathogenic prokaryotes and eukaryotes possess the machinery required to assemble galactofuranose (Galf)-containing glycoconjugates; these glycoconjugates can be critical for virulence or viability. Accordingly, compounds that block Galf incorporation may serve as therapeutic leads or as probes of the function of Galf-containing glycoconjugates. The enzyme UDP-galactopyranose mutase (UGM) is the only known generator of UDP-galactofuranose, the precursor to Galf residues. We previously employed a high-throughput fluorescence polarization assay to investigate the Klebsiella pneumoniae UGM. We demonstrate the generality of this assay by extending it to UGM from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. To identify factors influencing binding, we synthesized a directed library containing a 5-arylidene-2-thioxo-4-thiazolidinone core, a structure possessing features common to ligands for both homologs. Our studies offer a blueprint for identifying inhibitors of the growing family of UGM homologs and provide insight into UGM inhibition.

Abstract
Five sulfonium ion derivatives with 1,5-anhydro-5-thio-L-fucitol as a core structure were efficiently synthesized as potential alpha-L-fucosidase inhibitors. The key unit, the tri-O-benzyl derivative of L-fucitol, was readily synthesized from methyl alpha-D-mannopyranoside. Alkylation with methyl iodide or 5-methoxycarbonyl-1-pentyl iodide in acetonitrile containing AgBF4 afforded the corresponding alkylated sulfonium tetrafluoroborates. Alternatively, ring opening of three 1,3-cyclic sulfates in 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP) containing K2CO3 afforded the corresponding zwitterionic sulfonium sulfates.

Abstract
The synthesis of two enantiomerically pure iminosugars, analogues of 1-L-deoxynojirimycin (l-DNJ) and 1-D-deoxymannojirimycin (DMJ), was achieved using cyclic sulfate substituted isoxazoline derivatives. The piperidine ring was formed via the reduction of an isoxazoline into an amine which underwent a spontaneous intramolecular cyclization by reaction with the cyclic sulfate moiety. The nucleophilic attack of these two trisubstituted piperidines and morpholine on L- and D-erythritol-1,3-cyclic sulfates gave six new nitrogen analogues of salacinol. The inhibitory properties of the synthesized salacinol analogues were evaluated on several commercial glycosidases.

Abstract
Pummerer-like rearrangements of carbohydrate-based heterocycles containing selenium and sulfur were investigated. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the Pummerer rearrangement in selenoheterocycles. Ozonization of 1,4-anhydro-D-galactitol or 1,5-anhydroxylitol derivatives containing sulfur or selenium as the ring heteroatom gave unstable intermediates that were attributed to ozonides. These intermediates decomposed upon warming to give selenoxides or sulfoxides. Significantly, addition of acetic anhydride at low temperature to the ozonization reaction mixtures gave Pummerer-rearrangement products after warming to ambient temperature. However, when the isolated selenoxides or sulfoxides were treated with acetic anhydride, Pummerer rearrangement occurred but the sulfoxides required much higher reaction temperatures. The latter results are at variance with the former and are interpreted in terms of the rearrangement of the ozonide acetate intermediates in the former cases. To probe whether the rearrangement proceeded heterolytically via extrusion of singlet oxygen or homolytically via the generation of radical species, trapping experiments with rubrene and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies with the radical trap DMPO were performed. The results of these experiments are consistent with the intermediacy of radical species and suggest a new and milder synthetic method to generate Pummerer-type products.

Abstract
1-C-(2'-oxoalkyl)-5-S-acetylglycofuranosides of L-arabinose, D-ribose, and D-xylose were converted to 1-C-(2'-oxoalkyl)-5-thioglycopyranosides by base treatment. The transformation was achieved through beta-elimination to an acyclic alpha,beta-conjugated aldehyde (ketone or ester), followed by an intramolecular hetero-Michael addition by the 5-thiol group. The cycloaddition was highly stereoselective in favor of an equatorial 1-C-substitution. The resultant C-5-thioglycopyranosides were further converted to the sulfonium salts by treatment with cyclic sulfate and methyl iodide. Two sulfonium isomers were obtained due to the presence of both S-axial and S-equatorial substitutions. We observed that the chemical shifts of both C-1 and C-5 in the S-axial substituted sulfonium sugars are always shifted up-field (5-10 ppm) in comparison to those in the S-equatorial substitutions (deltaC 49-53 ppm vs 42-45 ppm at C-1 and 37-42 ppm vs 32-35 ppm at C-5), which provides an easy way for determination of the stereochemistry.

Abstract
The syntheses of N-alkylated deoxynojirimycin and 1,5-dideoxy-1,5-iminoxylitol derivatives having either a D- or an L-erythritol-3-sulfate functionalized N-substituent are reported. The alkylating agent used was a cyclic sulfate derivative, whereby selective attack of the nitrogen atom at the least hindered primary center afforded the desired ammonium salt. In aqueous solution, these salts were configurationally labile at the ammonium center. Sulfonium and/or selenonium analogues of the ammonium salts were prepared by analogous reactions. The chalcogen salts were obtained as mixtures of diastereomers, separable in some cases, differing only in the stereochemistry at the configurationally stable sulfur or selenium atoms. Proof of configuration and conformation of each compound was obtained by detailed NMR experiments. The compounds are six-membered ring analogues of salacinol, a known sulfonium-salt glucosidase inhibitor. Evaluation of the target compounds for enzyme inhibition of the glucosidase enzyme glucoamylase G2 indicated that these compounds were either inactive or, at best, only weak inhibitors of maltose hydrolysis.

Abstract
The syntheses of two ammonium salts of 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino-d-galactitol containing erythritol sulfate side chains are described. The parent compound is a known inhibitor of the enzyme UDP-galactopyranose mutase (UDP-galactopyranose furanomutase, E.C. 5.4.99.9), which is responsible for the conversion of UDP-galactopyranose into UDP-galactofuranose and is presumably protonated in its active form. The side chain was chosen because it is present in a known sulfonium ion alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, salacinol. The syntheses of the selenonium analogues derived from 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-seleno-d-galactitol are also described. The synthetic strategy in the syntheses of all four salts involved the nucleophilic attack of a protected derivative of the alditol at the least hindered carbon of 2,4-O-benzylidene d- or l-erythritol-1,3-cyclic sulfate to give adducts that were subsequently deprotected. The importance of different protecting groups used in the various syntheses is also highlighted. Enzyme inhibition assays carried out on these compounds, and the corresponding sulfonium ions synthesized previously, show that they are poor inhibitors of UDP-galactopyranose mutase.
