Abstract
A series of D-glucose derivatives that have been modified at C-4 were synthesised from D-galactose as potential chain terminators of cellulose biosynthesis. Two compounds displayed herbicidal activity in pre-emergence tests and in addition a cell expansion assay at higher concentrations revealed symptomology of a third compound that was indicative of inhibition of cellulose biosynthesis.

Abstract
Galactosyltransferases are important enzymes for the extension of the glycan chains of glycoproteins and glycolipids, and play critical roles in cell surface functions and in the immune system. In this work, the acceptor specificity and several inhibitors of bovine beta1,4-Gal-transferase T1 (beta4GalT, EC 2.4.1.90) were studied. Series of analogs of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) and GlcNAc-carrying glycopeptides were synthesized as acceptor substrates. Modifications were made at the 3-, 4- and 6-positions of the sugar ring of the acceptor, in the nature of the glycosidic linkage, in the aglycone moiety and in the 2-acetamido group. The acceptor specificity studies showed that the 4-hydroxyl group of the sugar ring was essential for beta4GalT activity, but that the 3-hydroxyl could be replaced by an electronegative group. Compounds having the anomeric beta-configuration were more active than those having the alpha-configuration, and O-, S- and C-glycosyl compounds were all active as substrates. The aglycone was a major determinant for the rate of Gal-transfer. Derivatives containing a 2-naphthyl aglycone were inactive as substrates although quinolinyl groups supported activity. Several compounds having a bicyclic structure as the aglycone were found to bind to the enzyme and inhibited the transfer of Gal to control substrates. The best small hydrophobic GlcNAc-analog inhibitor was found to be 1-thio-N-butyrylGlcNbeta-(2-naphthyl) with a K(i) of 0.01 mM. These studies help to delineate beta4GalT-substrate interactions and will aid in the development of biologically applicable inhibitors of the enzyme.

Abstract
The synthesis of a variety of arabinose derivatives that have been modified at C-5 was achieved from d-arabinose. The 5-fluoro and 5-methoxy compounds were converted into the corresponding farnesyl phosphodiesters as putative chain terminators of mycobacterial arabinan biosynthesis. Biological testing of these materials revealed no effective anti-mycobacterial activity.

Abstract
Using primary hepatocytes in culture, various 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose (GlcNAc) analogs were examined for their effects on the incorporation of D-[3H]glucosamine, [35S]sulfate, and L-[14C]leucine into cellular glycoconjugates. A series of acetylated GlcNAc analogs, namely methyl 2-acetamido-3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-alpha-(3) and beta-D-glucopyranoside (4) and 2-acetamido-1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranose (5), exhibited a concentration-dependent reduction of D-[3H]glucosamine, but not of [35S]sulfate incorporation into isolated glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), without affecting L-[14C]leucine incorporation into total protein synthesis. These results suggest that analogs 3-5 exhibit an inhibitory effect on D-[3H]glucosamine incorporation into isolated GAGs by diluting the specific activity of cellular D-[3H]glucosamine and by competing for the same metabolic pathways. In the case of the corresponding series of 4-deoxy-GlcNAc analogs, namely methyl 2-acetamido-3,6-di-O-acetyl-2,4-dideoxy-alpha-(6) and beta-D-xylo-hexopyranoside (7) and 2-acetamido-1,3,6-tri-O-acetyl-2,4-dideoxy-D-xylo-hexopyranose (8), compound 8 at 1.0 mM exhibited the greatest reduction of D-[3H]glucosamine and [35S]sulfate incorporation into isolated GAGs, namely to approximately 7% of controls, and a moderate inhibition of total protein synthesis, namely to 60% of controls. Exogenous uridine was able to restore the inhibition of total protein synthesis by compound 8 at 1.0 mM. Isolated GAGs from cultures treated with compound 8 were shown to be smaller in size (approximately 40 kDa) than for control cultures (approximately 77 kDa). These results suggest that the inhibitory effects of compound 8 on cellular GAG synthesis may be mediated by the incorporation of a 4-deoxy moiety into GAGs resulting in premature chain termination and/or by its serving as an enzymatic inhibitor of the normal sugar metabolites. The inhibition of total protein synthesis from cultures treated with compound 8 suggests a uridine trapping mechanism which would result in the depletion of UTP pools and cause the inhibition of total protein synthesis. A 1-deoxy-GlcNAc analog, namely 2-acetamido-3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-1,5-anhydro-2-deoxy-D-glucitol (9), also exhibited a reduction in both D-[3H]glucosamine and [35S]sulfate incorporation into isolated GAGs by 19 and 57%, of the control cells, respectively, at 1.0 mM without affecting total protein synthesis. The inability of compound 9 to form a UDP-sugar and, hence, be incorporated into GAGs presents another metabolic route for the inhibition of cellular GAG synthesis. Potential metabolic routes for each analog's effects are presented.

Abstract
A novel enzyme which may be important in mucin degradation has been discovered in the mucin-utilizing anaerobe Prevotella strain RS2. This enzyme cleaves terminal 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranoside 6-sulfate (6-SO3-GlcNAc) residues from sulfomucin and from the model substrate 4-nitrophenyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranoside 6-sodium sulfate. The existence of this mucin-desulfating glycosidase (sulfoglycosidase) suggests an alternative mechanism by which this bacterium may desulfate sulfomucins, by glycosidic removal of a sulfated sugar from mucin oligosaccharide chains. Previously, mucin desulfation was thought to take place by the action of a specific desulfating enzyme, which then allowed glycosidases to remove desulfated sugar. Sulfate removal from sulfomucins is thought to be a rate-limiting step in mucin degradation by bacteria in the regions of the digestive tract with a significant bacterial flora. The sulfoglycosidase was induced by growth of the Prevotella strain on mucin and was purified 284-fold from periplasmic extracts. Tryptic digestion and sequencing of peptides from the 100-kDa protein enabled the sulfoglycosidase gene to be cloned and sequenced. Active recombinant enzyme was made in an Escherichia coli expression system. The sulfoglycosidase shows sequence similarity to hexosaminidases. The only other enzyme that has been shown to remove 6-SO3-GlcNAc from glycoside substrates is the human lysosomal enzyme beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase A, point mutations in which cause the inheritable, lysosomal storage disorder Tay-Sachs disease. The human enzyme removes GlcNAc from glycoside substrates also, in contrast to the Prevotella enzyme, which acts on a nonsulfated substrate at a rate that is only 1% of the rate observed with a sulfated substrate.

Abstract
Two novel sugars, 2-acetamido-1,3,6-tri-O-acetyl-2,4-dideoxy-alpha- and beta-D-xylo-hexopyranoses, have been synthesized and their effects on heparan sulfate biosynthesis using primary mouse hepatocytes in tissue culture have been assessed. At concentrations of 0.1 and 1.0 mmol/L a mixture of both anomers significantly inhibited the biosynthesis of heparan sulfate by 60% and 99%, respectively. At 1.0 mmol/L the average molecular weight of the heparan sulfate synthesized is reduced from 77 kd to 40 kd. The biosynthetic inhibition is apparent within 1 hour (the earliest time point examined) of exposure of the hepatocytes to the analogues and appears virtually complete throughout a 24-hour incubation period. Using a radiolabeled version of the beta-anomer we demonstrate that the analogue is incorporated into growing heparan sulfate chains. The nature of the analogue, the quantity of analogue isotope incorporated, and the reduction in the size of the heparan sulfate polysaccharide are consistent with UDP activation and incorporation of the analogue and truncation of the growing heparan sulfate chain. At 0.1 mmol/L, and in the presence of a constant concentration of serum amyloid A (the precursor to AA amyloid), each analogue inhibited amyloid deposition (by 95 to 99%) in a tissue culture model of AA amyloidogenesis. At 6 mg/dose twice daily each analogue inhibited in vivo splenic AA amyloid deposition by 65 to 70% when using a rapid induction model of mouse AA amyloidogenesis. These data indicate that polysaccharides, such as heparan sulfate, play an integral part in the pathogenesis of AA amyloid deposition, and potentially other forms of amyloid. These data support our previous work that demonstrated that agents that mimic aspects of heparan sulfate structure and that interfere with heparan sulfate:amyloid protein binding inhibit AA amyloid deposition. They emphasize that heparan sulfate likely plays a critical role in amyloidogenesis, and compounds that interfere with heparan sulfate biosynthesis may provide leads for the development of anti-amyloid therapeutic agents.
