Deprotection of peracetylated methyl d-ribosides through enzymatic alcoholysis: Different recognition of the anomers

An update of biocatalytic selective acylation and deacylation of monosaccharides

PAMs synthesis requires highly selective reactions, provided by hydrolases. This review updates research on enzymatic acylation and deacylation of monosaccharides, focusing on synthetic useful PAMs and drug-monosaccharide conjugates involving PAMs.

Effect of acyl chain length on selective biocatalytic deacylation on O-aryl glycosides and separation of anomers

It has been demonstrated that Lipozyme® TL IM (Thermomyces lanuginosus lipase immobilised on silica) can selectively deacylate the ester function involving the C-5' hydroxyl group of α-anomers over the other acyl functions of anomeric mixture of peracylated O-aryl α,β-D-ribofuranoside. The analysis of results of biocatalytic deacylation reaction revealed that the reaction time decreases with the increase in the acyl chain length from C1 to C4. The unique selectivity of Lipozyme® TL IM has been harnessed for the separation of anomeric mixture of peracylated O-aryl α,β-D-ribofuranosides, The lipase mediated selective deacylation methodology has been used for the synthesis of O-aryl α-D-ribofuranosides and O-aryl β-D-ribofuranosides in pure forms, which can be used as chromogenic substrate for the detection of pathogenic microbial parasites containing glycosidases.

Development of regioselective deacylation of peracetylated β-d-monosaccharides using lipase from Pseudomonas stutzeri under sustainable conditions

An efficient deacylation of peracetylated pyranosides has been developed in different biosolvents, catalyzed by Pseudomonas stutzeri lipase, which displayed regiospecific activity towards the anomeric position.

A convenient synthesis of N-linked diglycose derivatives based on one-pot tandem Staudinger/aza-Wittig/reduction and biological evaluation

A series of novel N-linked diglycose derivatives 9 and 10 were conveniently and directly synthesized based on the key step of one-pot tandem Staudinger/aza-Wittig/reduction reaction from the azido sugar and sugar-derived aldehyde followed by deprotection. The biological activities against glycosidases (α-amylase, α-glucosidase, and β-glucosidase) and HIV-RT and antitumor activity of these compounds were preliminarily evaluated.
