Abstract
With easily accessible and operator-friendly reagents, shelf-stable ortho-methoxycarbonylethynylphenyl thioglycosides were efficiently prepared. Based on these MCEPT glycoside donors, a novel glycosylation protocol featuring mild and catalytic promotion conditions with Au(I) or Cu(II) complexes, expanded substrate scope encompassing challenging donors and acceptors and clinically used pharmaceuticals, and versatility in various strategies for highly efficient synthesis of glycosides has been established. The practicality of the MCEPT glycosylation protocol was fully exhibited by highly efficient and scalable synthesis of surface polysaccharide subunits of Acinetobacter baumannii via latent-active, reagent-controlled divergent orthogonal one-pot and orthogonal one-pot strategies. The underlying reaction mechanism was investigated systematically through control reactions, leading to the isolation and characterization of the vital catalyst species in MCEPT glycosylation, the benzothiophen-3-yl-gold(I) complex. Based on the results obtained both from control reactions and from studies leading to the glycosylation protocol establishment, an operative mechanism was proposed and the effect of the vital catalyst species reactivity on the results of metal-catalyzed alkyne-containing donor-involved glycosylation was disclosed. Moreover, the mechanism for C-glycosylation side product formation from ortho-(substituted)ethynylphenyl thioglycoside donors with electron-donating substituents was also illuminated.

Abstract
Target engagement and the biodistribution of exogenously administered small molecules is rarely homogenous. Methods to determine the biodistribution at the cellular level are limited by the ability to detect the small molecule and simultaneously identify the cell types or tissue structures with which it is associated. The highly multiplexed nature of mass cytometry could facilitate these studies provided a heavy isotope label was available in the molecule of interest. Here we show it is possible to append a tellurophene to a known chemotherapeutic, teniposide, to follow this molecule in vivo . A semi-synthetic approach offers an efficient route to the teniposide analogue which is found to have indistinguishable characteristics when compared with the parent teniposide in vitro . Using mass cytometry and imaging mass cytometry we find the teniposide analogue has significant non-specific binding to cells. In vivo the tellurium bearing teniposide produces the expected DNA damage in a PANC-1 xenograft model. The distribution of Te in the tissue is near the limits of detection and further work will be required to characterize the localization of this analogue with respect to cell type distributions.

Abstract
With 8-(methyltosylaminoethynyl)-1-naphthyl (MTAEN) glycoside as donors, a novel and efficient glycosylation protocol has been established. The MTAEN glycosylation protocol exhibits the merits of shelf-stable donors, mild catalytic promotion conditions, considerably extended substrate scope encompassing both free alcohols, silylated alcohols, nucleobases, primary amides, and C-type nucleophile acceptors, and applicability to various one-pot strategies for highly efficient synthesis of oligosaccharides, such as orthogonal one-pot, single-catalyst one-pot, and acceptor reactivity-controlled one-pot strategies.

Abstract
Oroxylum indicum (Sonapatha) is traditionally used to cure several human ailments. Therefore, the cell killing effect of chloroform, ethanol, and water extracts of Sonapatha was studied in cultured HeLa cells treated with 0-100 µg/mL of these extracts/doxorubicin by MTT assay. Since ethanol extract was most cytotoxic its effect was further investigated by clonogenic, apoptosis, necrosis, and lactate dehydrogenase assays. The mechanism of cytotoxicity of Sonapatha was determined at the molecular level by estimation of caspase 8 and 3 activities and Western blot analysis of NF-κB, COX-2, Nrf2, and RASSF7 which are overexpressed in neoplastic cells. HeLa cells treated with Sonapatha extract exhibited a concentration and time-dependent rise in the cytotoxicity as indicated by the MTT assay. Ethanol extract of Sonapatha (0, 20, 40, and 80 μg/mL) reduced clonogenicity, increased DNA fragmentation, apoptotic and necrotic indices, lactate dehydrogenase release, caspase 8 and 3 activities and inhibited the overexpression of NF-κB, COX-2, Nrf2, and RASSF7 in HeLa cells concentration-dependently.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Podophyllotoxin is a natural lignan which possesses anticancer and antiviral activities. Etoposide and teniposide are semisynthetic glycoside derivatives of podophyllotoxin and are increasingly used in cancer medicine. OBJECTIVE The present work was aimed to design and synthesize a series of 2, 4, 5-trideoxyhexopyranosides derivatives of 4'-demethylepipodophyllotoxin as novel anticancer agents. METHODS A divergent de novo synthesis of 2, 4, 5-trideoxyhexopyranosides derivatives of 4'-demethylepipodophyllotoxin has been established via palladium-catalyzed glycosylation. The abilities of synthesized glycosides to inhibit the growth of A549, HepG2, SH-SY5Y, KB/VCR and HeLa cancer cells were investigated by MTT assay. Flow cytometric analysis of cell cycle with propidium iodide DNA staining was employed to observe the effect of compound 5b on cancer cell cycle. RESULTS Twelve D and L monosaccharides derivatives 5a-5l have been efficiently synthesized in three steps from various pyranone building blocks employing de novo glycosylation strategy. D-monosaccharide 5b showed highest cytotoxicity on five cancer cell lines with the IC50 values from 0.9 to 6.7 mM. It caused HepG2 cycle arrest at G2/M phase in a concentration-dependent manner. CONCLUSION The present work leads to the development of novel 2, 4, 5-trideoxyhexopyranosides derivatives of 4'- demethylepipodophyllotoxin. The biological results suggested that the replacement of the glucosyl moiety of etoposide with 2, 4, 5-trideoxyhexopyranosyl is favorable to their cytotoxicity. D-monosaccharide 5b caused HepG2 cycle arrest at G2/M phase in a concentration-dependent manner.

Abstract
Both of O-glycosides and nucleosides are important biomolecules with crucial rules in numerous biological processes. Chemical synthesis is an efficient and scalable method to produce well-defined and pure carbohydrate-containing molecules for deciphering their functions and developing therapeutic agents. However, the development of glycosylation methods for efficient synthesis of both O-glycosides and nucleosides is one of the long-standing challenges in chemistry. Here, we report a highly efficient and versatile glycosylation method for efficient synthesis of both O-glycosides and nucleosides, which uses glycosyl ortho-(1-phenylvinyl)benzoates as donors. This glycosylation protocol enjoys the various features, including readily prepared and stable donors, cheap and readily available promoters, mild reaction conditions, good to excellent yields, and broad substrate scopes. In particular, the applications of the current glycosylation protocol are demonstrated by one-pot synthesis of several bioactive oligosaccharides and highly efficient synthesis of nucleosides drugs capecitabine, galocitabine and doxifluridine.

Abstract
The 4-O-β-d-glucopyranoside of DMEP ((-)-4'-desmethylepipodophyllotoxin) (GDMEP), a natural product from Podophyllum hexandrum, is the direct precursor to the topoisomerase inhibitor etoposide, used in dozens of chemotherapy regimens for various malignancies. The biosynthesis pathway for DMEP has been completed, while the enzyme for biosynthesizing GDMEP is still unclear. Here, we report the enzymatic O-glycosylation of DMEP with 53% conversion by exploring the substrate promiscuity and entrances of glycosyltransferases. Notably, we found 6 essential amino acid residues surrounding the putative substrate entrances exposed to the protein surface in UGT78D2, CsUGT78D2, and CsUGT78D2-like, and these residues may determine substrate specificity and high O-glycosylation activity toward DMEP. Our results provide an effective route for one-step synthesis of GDMEP. Identification of the key residues and entrances of glycosyltransferases will promote precise identification of glycosyltransferase biocatalysts for novel substrates and provide a rational basis for glycosyltransferase engineering.

Abstract
Challenges for stereoselective glycosylation of deoxy sugars are notorious in carbohydrate chemistry. We herein report a novel strategy for the construction of the less investigated β-glycosidic bonds of 3,5- trans-3-amino-2,3,6-trideoxy sugars (3,5- trans-3-ADSs), which constitute the core structure of several biologically important antibiotics. Current protocol leverages a C-3 axial sulfonamide group in 3,5- trans-3-ADSs as a hydrogen-bond (H-bond) donor and repurposes substoichiometric phosphine oxide as an exogenous nucleophilic reagent (exNu) to establish an intramolecular H-bond between the former and the derived α-oxyphosphonium ion. This pivotal interaction stabilizes the α-face-covered intermediate to inhibit the formation of the more reactive β-intermediate, thereby yielding reversed β-selectivity, which is unconventional for an exNu-mediated glycosylation system. A wide range of substrates was accommodated, and good to excellent β-selectivities were ensured by this H-bonding-assisted exNu effect. The robustness of the current strategy was further attested by the architectural modification of natural products and drugs containing 3,5- trans-3-ADSs, as well as the synthesis of a trisaccharide unit in avidinorubicin.

Abstract
With cheap and easily available mixtures of steviol glycosides as starting materials, a practical method for steviol acquisition has been developed, on the basis of which a facile, diversity-oriented, and economic protocol for the synthesis of structurally defined steviol glycosides was established. The novel approach is featured by the highly efficient glycosylation of sterically hindered and acid-sensitive steviol via orchestrated application of Yu glycosylation, Schmidt glycosylation, and PTC glycosylation. Hence, these high-intensity sweeteners and potential lead compounds for drug development are now readily accessible.

Abstract
Naturally occurring glycans and glycoconjugates have extremely diverse structures and biological functions. Syntheses of these molecules and their artificial mimics, which have attracted the interest of those developing new therapeutic agents, rely on glycosylation methodologies to construct the various glycosidic linkages. In this regard, a wide array of glycosylation methods have been developed, and they mainly involve the substitution of a leaving group on the anomeric carbon of a glycosyl donor with an acceptor (a nucleophile) under the action of a particular promoter (usually a stoichiometric electrophile). However, glycosylations involving inherently unstable or unreactive donors/acceptors are still problematic. In those systems, reactions involving nucleophilic, electrophilic, or acidic species present on the leaving group and the promoter could become competitive and detrimental to the glycosylation. To address this problem, we applied the recently developed chemistry of alkynophilic gold(I) catalysts to the development of new glycosylation reactions that would avoid the use of the conventional leaving groups and promoters. Gratifyingly, glycosyl o-alkynylbenzoates (namely, glycosyl o-hexynyl- and o-cyclopropylethynylbenzoates) turned out to be privileged donors under gold(I) catalysis with Ph3PAuNTf2 and Ph3PAuOTf. The merits of this new glycosylation protocol include the following: (1) the donors are easily prepared and are generally shelf-stable; (2) the promotion is catalytic; (3) the substrate scope is extremely wide; (4) relatively few side reactions are observed; (5) the glycosylation conditions are orthogonal to those of conventional methods; and (6) the method is operationally simple. Indeed, this method has been successfully applied in the synthesis of a wide variety of complex glycans and glycoconjugates, including complex glycosides of epoxides, nucleobases, flavonoids, lignans, steroids, triterpenes, and peptides. The direct glycosylation of some sensitive aglycones, such as dammarane C20-ol and sugar oximes, and the glycosylation-initiated polymerization of tetrahydrofuran were achieved for the first time. The gold(I) catalytic cycle of the present glycosylation protocol has been fully elucidated. In particular, key intermediates, such as the 1-glycosyloxyisochromenylium-4-gold(I) and isochromen-4-ylgold(I) complexes, have been unambiguously characterized. Exploiting the former glycosyloxypyrylium intermediate, SN2-type glycosylations were realized in specific cases, such as β-mannosylation/rhamnosylation. The protodeauration of the latter vinylgold(I) intermediate has been reported to be critically important for the gold(I) catalytic cycle. Thus, the addition of a strong acid as a cocatalyst can dramatically reduce the required loading of the gold(I) catalyst (down to 0.001 equiv). C-Glycosylation with silyl nucleophiles can proceed catalytically when moisture, which is sequestered by molecular sieves, can serve as the H+ donor for the required protodeauration step. Indeed, the unique mechanism explains the merits and broad applicability of the present glycosylation method and provides a foundation for future developments in glycosylation methodologies that mainly involve improving the diastereoselectivity and catalytic efficiency of glycosylations.
