[PMID: 39217847 DOI: 10.1016/j.carres.2024.109252] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2024] [Revised: 08/09/2024] [Accepted: 08/26/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
Stereocontrolled 1,2-trans-α-arabinofuranosylation using polysilylated mono- and disaccharide glycosyl donors was investigated. A complete α-stereoselectivity of 1,2-trans-arabinofuranosylation was found for Ara-β-(1 → 2)-Ara disaccharide glycosyl donors containing five triisopropylsilyl (TIPS) groups with arylthiol (1) (as shown in our previous publications) or N-phenyltrifluoroacetimidoyl (2) (this work) leaving groups. Conversely, in case of monosaccharide thioglycosides polysilylated with acyclic silyl groups (TIPS, TBDPS), stereoselectivity of glycosylation was lower (α:β = 7-8:1), although the desired α-isomer still dominated. Disaccharide glycosyl donor 2 was successfully used in the synthesis of linear α-(1 → 5)-, β-(1 → 2)-linked hexaarabinofuranoside useful for further preparation of conjugates thereof as antigens valuable for the diagnosis of mycobacterioses.

Abstract
The hexasaccharide arabinan domain of Mycobacterial Arabinogalactan was provided with the versatile methodology toward β-selective arabinofuranosylation directed by B(C6F5)3, demonstrating the effectiveness of the β-arabinofuranosylation strategy. Derivatization of the amino moiety at the reducing end are essential prerequisites for elucidating the biosynthetic pathway and conjugating of this compound to a protein carrier for vaccine generation.

Abstract
We discovered an unusual triflic acid-promoted oligomerization of arabinofuranosides during glycosylation of the primary hydroxy group of α-(1 → 5)-linked tetraarabinofuranoside bearing 4-(2-chloroethoxy)phenyl aglycone with α-(1 → 5), β-(1 → 2)-linked tetraarabinofuranoside containing N-phenyltrifluoroacetimidoyl leaving group, which led to octa-, dodeca- and hexadecaarabinofuranosides. The possible mechanism of triflic acid-promoted oligomerization was proposed. The choice of promoter was found to be a critical factor for the discovered oligomerization of arabinofuranosides. The obtained octa-, dodeca- and hexadecaarabinofuranosides may serve as useful blocks in the synthesis of oligosaccharide fragments of polysaccharides of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Abstract
Compared with stereoselective glycosylation methods mainly addressed on the preparation of pyranose glycosides, the furanosylation has been more limited, especially for the 1,2-cis arabinofuranosylation. Herein, we report a novel stereoselective 1,2-cis-arabinofuranosylation strategy using a conformationally restricted 3,5-O-xylylene-protected arabinofuranosyl donor on activation with B(C6F5)3 for desired targets in moderate to excellent yields and β-stereoselectivity. The effectiveness of the 1,2-cis-arabinofuranosylation strategy was demonstrated successfully with various acceptors, including carbohydrate alcohols.

Abstract
The accessibility to long, branched and complex glycans containing many 1,2-cis glycosidic linkages with precise structures remains a challenging task in chemical synthesis. Reported here is an efficient, stereoselective and orthogonal one-pot synthesis of a tetradecasaccharide and shorter sequences from Lentinus giganteus polysaccharides with antitumor activities. The synthetic strategy consists of: (1) newly developed merging reagent modulation and remote anchimeric assistance (RMRAA) α-(1→6)-galactosylation in a highly stereoselective manner, (2) DMF-modulated stereoselective α-(1→3)-glucosylation, (3) RMRAA stereoselective α-(1→6)-glucosylation, (4) several orthogonal one-pot glycosylations on the basis of N-phenyltrifluoroacetimidate (PTFAI) glycosylation, Yu glycosylation and ortho-(1-phenylvinyl)benzoate (PVB) glycosylation to streamline oligosaccharide synthesis, and (5) convergent [7 + 7] glycosylation for the final assembly of the target tetradecasaccharide. In particular, this new RMRAA α-galactosylation method has mild reaction conditions, broad substrate scopes and significantly shortened step counts for the heptasaccharide synthesis in comparison with 4,6-di-tert-butylsilyene (DTBS) directed α-galactosylation. Furthermore, DFT calculations shed light on the origins of remote anchimeric assistance effects (3,4-OBz > 3,4-OAc > 4-OBz > 3-OBz) of acyl groups.

Abstract
The sequence, length and substitution of a polysaccharide influence its physical and biological properties. Thus, sequence controlled polysaccharides are important targets to establish structure-properties correlations. Polymerization techniques and enzymatic methods have been optimized to obtain samples with well-defined substitution patterns and narrow molecular weight distribution. Chemical synthesis has granted access to polysaccharides with full control over the length. Here, we review the progress towards the synthesis of well-defined polysaccharides. For each class of polysaccharides, we discuss the available synthetic approaches and their current limitations.

Abstract
![]()
The pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), causing
tuberculosis disease, features an extraordinary
thick cell envelope, rich in Mtb-specific lipids,
glycolipids, and glycans. These cell wall components are often directly
involved in host–pathogen interaction and recognition, intracellular
survival, and virulence. For decades, these mycobacterial natural
products have been of great interest for immunology and synthetic
chemistry alike, due to their complex molecular structure and the
biological functions arising from it. The synthesis of many of these
constituents has been achieved and aided the elucidation of their
function by utilizing the synthetic material to study Mtb immunology. This review summarizes the synthetic efforts of a quarter
century of total synthesis and highlights how the synthesis layed
the foundation for immunological studies as well as drove the field
of organic synthesis and catalysis to efficiently access these complex
natural products.

Abstract
In this study, we designed a method to prepare 2-deoxy-2-azido-α-d-galactopyranosidic bonds using 4,6-di-O-benzylidenyl-3-O-t-butyldiphenylsilyl protected 2-deoxy-2-azido-1-thio-d-galactopyranoside 5 as donors. The donor 5 gives a good to excellent α-selectivity in the glycosylation with secondary alcohols, which was found to be associated with the benzylidenyl on 4,6-di-O and TBDPS on 3-O of the donor 5. Compared with results of the donor 6 and 7, the 3-O-TBDPS could increase the activity of the thioglycoside, and the lone pairs on 4,6-di-O-benzylidenyl group enhanced the gg-cofnormation, which plays a role in improving the stereoselectivity. Finally, this method was demonstrated through the synthesis of a α-galactosamine -containing pentasaccharide 26.

Abstract
Glycans are involved in various life processes and represent critical targets of biomedical developments. Nevertheless, the accessibility to long glycans with precise structures remains challenging. Here we report on the synthesis of glycans consisting of [→4)-α-Rha-(1 → 3)-β-Man-(1 → ] repeating unit, which are relevant to the O-antigen of Bacteroides vulgatus, a common component of gut microbiota. The optimal combination of assembly strategy, protecting group arrangement, and glycosylation reaction has enabled us to synthesize up to a 128-mer glycan. The synthetic glycans are accurately characterized by advanced NMR and MS approaches, the 3D structures are defined, and their potent binding activity with human DC-SIGN, a receptor associated with the gut lymphoid tissue, is disclosed.

We evaluated the potential of 100 novel monoclonal antibody pairs targeting a variety of LAM epitopes on a sensitive electrochemiluminescence platform to improve the diagnostic accuracy. The only currently commercialized point-of-care assay for tuberculosis (TB) that measures lipoarabinomannan (LAM) in urine (Alere LF-LAM) has insufficient sensitivity. We evaluated the potential of 100 novel monoclonal antibody pairs targeting a variety of LAM epitopes on a sensitive electrochemiluminescence platform to improve the diagnostic accuracy. In the screening, many antibody pairs showed high reactivity to purified LAM but performed poorly at detecting urinary LAM in clinical samples, suggesting differences in antigen structure and immunoreactivity of the different LAM sources. The 12 best antibody pairs from the screening were tested in a retrospective case-control study with urine samples from 75 adults with presumptive TB. The best antibody pair reached femtomolar analytical sensitivity for LAM detection and an overall clinical sensitivity of 93% (confidence interval [CI], 80% to 97%) and specificity of 97% (CI, 85% to 100%). Importantly, in HIV-negative subjects positive for TB by sputum smear microscopy, the test achieved a sensitivity of 80% (CI, 55% to 93%). This compares to an overall sensitivity of 33% (CI, 20% to 48%) of the Alere LF-LAM and a sensitivity of 13% (CI, 4% to 38%) in HIV-negative subjects in the same sample set. The capture antibody targets a unique 5-methylthio-d-xylofuranose (MTX)-dependent epitope in LAM that is specific to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex and shows no cross-reactivity with fast-growing mycobacteria or other bacteria. The present study provides evidence that improved assay methods and reagents lead to increased diagnostic accuracy. The results of this work have informed the development of a sensitive and specific novel LAM point-of-care assay with the aim to meet the WHO's performance target for TB diagnosis.

Abstract
Pseudaminic acid is an amino deoxy sialic acid whose glycosides are essential components of many pathogenic Gram-negative bacterial cell walls including those from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter jejuni, Campylobacter coli, Vibrio vulnificus, and Pseudoalteromonas distincta. The study of pseudaminic acid glycosides is however hampered by poor availability from nature and the paucity of good synthetic methods and limited to no understanding of the factors controlling stereoselectivity. Conformational analysis of the side chains of various stereoisomeric sialic acids suggested that the side chain of pseudaminic acid would take up the most electron-withdrawing trans, gauche-conformation, as opposed to the gauche, gauche conformation of N-acetyl neuraminic acid and the gauche, trans-conformtion of 7- epi N-acetyl neuraminic acid, leading to the prediction of high equatorial selectivity. This prediction is borne out by the synthesis of a suitably protected pseudaminic acid donor from N-acetyl neuraminic acid in 20 steps and 5% overall yield and by the exquisite equatorial selectivity it displays in coupling reactions with typical glycosyl acceptors. The selectivity of the glycosylation reactions is further buttressed by the development and implementation of conditions for the regioselective release of the two amines from the corresponding azides, such as required for the preparation of the lipopolysaccharides. These findings open the way to the synthesis and study of pseudaminic acid-based bacterial lipopolysaccharides and, importantly in the broader context of glycosylation reactions in general, underline the significant role played by side-chain conformation in the control of reactivity and selectivity.

Abstract
Carbohydrates, which are ubiquitously distributed throughout the three domains of life, play significant roles in a variety of vital biological processes. Access to unique and homogeneous carbohydrate materials is important to understand their physical properties, biological functions, and disease-related features. It is difficult to isolate carbohydrates in acceptable purity and amounts from natural sources. Therefore, complex saccharides with well-defined structures are often most conviently accessed through chemical syntheses. Two major hurdles, regioselective protection and stereoselective glycosylation, are faced by carbohydrate chemists in synthesizing these highly complicated molecules. Over the past few years, there has been a radical change in tackling these problems and speeding up the synthesis of oligosaccharides. This is largely due to the development of one-pot protection, one-pot glycosylation, and one-pot protection-glycosylation protocols and streamlined approaches to orthogonally protected building blocks, including those from rare sugars, that can be used in glycan coupling. In addition, new automated strategies for oligosaccharide syntheses have been reported not only for program-controlled assembly on solid support but also by the stepwise glycosylation in solution phase. As a result, various sugar molecules with highly complex, large structures could be successfully synthesized. To summarize these recent advances, this review describes the methodologies for one-pot protection and their one-pot glycosylation into the complex glycans and the chronological developments associated with automated syntheses of oligosaccharides.

Abstract
Both protective and pre-spacer features of 4-(2-chloroethoxy)phenyl (CEP) aglycon, which belong to the class of Janus aglycons, were engaged in a benzyl-free synthesis of oligosaccharide fragments of polysaccharides from rhizobacterium Azospirillum brasilense sp7. Introduction of α-1,4-linked L-fucose residue was performed using 3,4-di-O-benzoyl-2-O-triisopropylsilyl-α-L-fucopyranosyl N-phenyltrifluoroacetimidate in excellent stereoselectivity and high yields. The obtained deprotected di-, tri- and tetrasaccharides contain 4-(2-azidoethoxy)phenyl (AEP) spacer aglycon, which allows straightforward preparation of neoglycoconjugates that will be used for the study of the role of lipopolysaccharide of rhizobacterium A. brasilense sp7 in plant-microbe symbiosis. The intermediate protected oligosaccharide building blocks with cleavable CEP/AEP aglycons have a strong potential for further application in the synthesis of more complex oligosaccharides.

Abstract
Polysaccharides are the most abundant organic materials in nature, yet correlations between their three-dimensional structure and macroscopic properties have not been established. Automated glycan assembly enables the preparation of well-defined oligo- and polysaccharides resembling natural as well as unnatural structures. These synthetic glycans are ideal probes for the fundamental study of polysaccharides. According to molecular modeling simulations and NMR analysis, different classes of polysaccharides adopt fundamentally different conformations that are drastically altered by single-site substitutions. Larger synthetic polysaccharides are obtained via a "LEGO"-like approach as a first step toward the production of tailor-made carbohydrate-based materials.

Abstract
Lipoarabinomannan (LAM), the major antigenic glycolipid of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is an important immunodiagnostic target for detecting tuberculosis (TB) infection in HIV-1–coinfected patients, and is believed to mediate a number of functions that promote infection and disease development. To probe the human humoral response against LAM during TB infection, several novel LAM-specific human mAbs were molecularly cloned from memory B cells isolated from infected patients and grown in vitro. The fine epitope specificities of these Abs, along with those of a panel of previously described murine and phage-derived LAM-specific mAbs, were mapped using binding assays against LAM Ags from several mycobacterial species and a panel of synthetic glycans and glycoconjugates that represented diverse carbohydrate structures present in LAM. Multiple reactivity patterns were seen that differed in their specificity for LAM from different species, as well as in their dependence on arabinofuranoside branching and nature of capping at the nonreducing termini. Competition studies with mAbs and soluble glycans further defined these epitope specificities and guided the design of highly sensitive immunodetection assays capable of detecting LAM in urine of TB patients, even in the absence of HIV-1 coinfection. These results highlighted the complexity of the antigenic structure of LAM and the diversity of the natural Ab response against this target. The information and novel reagents described in this study will allow further optimization of diagnostic assays for LAM and may facilitate the development of potential immunotherapeutic approaches to inhibit the functional activities of specific structural motifs in LAM.

Abstract
![]()
An
array of homogeneous glycans representing all the major carbohydrate
structures present in the cell wall of the human pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis and other mycobacteria has been
probed with a panel of glycan-binding receptors expressed on cells
of the mammalian innate immune system. The results provide an overview
of interactions between mycobacterial glycans and receptors that mediate
uptake and survival in macrophages, dendritic cells, and sinusoidal
endothelial cells. A subset of the wide variety of glycan structures
present on mycobacterial surfaces interact with cells of the innate
immune system through the receptors tested. Endocytic receptors, including
the mannose receptor, DC-SIGN, langerin, and DC-SIGNR (L-SIGN), interact
predominantly with mannose-containing caps found on the mycobacterial
polysaccharide lipoarabinomannan. Some of these receptors also interact
with phosphatidyl-myo-inositol mannosides and mannose-containing
phenolic glycolipids. Many glycans are ligands for overlapping sets
of receptors, suggesting multiple, redundant routes by which mycobacteria
can enter cells. Receptors with signaling capability interact with
two distinct sets of mycobacterial glycans: targets for dectin-2 overlap
with ligands for the mannose-binding endocytic receptors, while mincle
binds exclusively to trehalose-containing structures such as trehalose
dimycolate. None of the receptors surveyed bind furanose residues,
which often form part of the epitopes recognized by antibodies to
mycobacteria. Thus, the innate and adaptive immune systems can target
different sets of mycobacterial glycans. This array, the first of
its kind, represents an important new tool for probing, at a molecular
level, biological roles of a broad range of mycobacterial glycans,
a task that has not previously been possible.

Abstract
Selectively protected mono-, di- and trisaccharide thioglycoside building blocks with unprotected primary hydroxy group at the non-reducing end, available in only one step from 3-O-benzoyl β-d-arabinofuranose 1,2,5-orthobenzoate, were used in the synthesis of linear α(1 → 5)-linked oligoarabinofuranosides up to octasaccharide. The obtained oligosaccharides contain 4-(2-chloroethoxy)phenyl (CEP) or 4-(2-azidoethoxy)phenyl (AEP) pre-spacer aglycons that allow preparation of neoglycoconjugates.

Abstract
31+30+31: Ye and colleagues have synthesized a branched 92-mer of arabinogalactan-a major component of the cell wall of M. tuberculosis-by linking a linear oligogalactan 30-mer with two d-arabinofuranose 31-mers. Their approach capitalizes on sequential, one-pot glycosylation reactions that result in a rapid increase in molecular complexity and efficient synthesis of a branched oligosaccharide.

Total synthesis of mycobacterial arabinogalactan containing 92 monosaccharide units. Nat Commun 2017; 8:14851.

Abstract
Carbohydrates are diverse bio-macromolecules with highly complex structures that are involved in numerous biological processes. Well-defined carbohydrates obtained by chemical synthesis are essential to the understanding of their functions. However, synthesis of carbohydrates is greatly hampered by its insufficient efficiency. So far, assembly of long carbohydrate chains remains one of the most challenging tasks for synthetic chemists. Here we describe a highly efficient assembly of a 92-mer polysaccharide by the preactivation-based one-pot glycosylation protocol. Several linear and branched oligosaccharide/polysaccharide fragments ranging from 5-mer to 31-mer in length have been rapidly constructed in one-pot manner, which enables the first total synthesis of a biologically important mycobacterial arabinogalactan through a highly convergent [31+31+30] coupling reaction. Our results show that the preactivation-based one-pot glycosylation protocol may provide access to the construction of long and complicated carbohydrate chains. Due to the vast number of potential isomers, the chemical synthesis of large carbohydrates is challenging. Here the authors report the synthesis of mycobacterial arabinogalactan, a biologically important natural product composed of 92 monosaccharide units, the largest synthetic polysaccharide to date.

Abstract
The global incidence of tuberculosis is increasing at an alarming rate, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is the causative agent for tuberculosis, a disease with high mortality. Lipoarabinomannan (LAM) is one of the major components of the Mtb cellular envelope and is an attractive scaffold for developing anti-tubercular drugs, vaccines and diagnostics. Herein, a highly convergent strategy is developed to synthesize heneicosasaccharyl arabinomannan for the first time. The arabinomannan synthesized in this endeavour has several 1,2-trans or α-Araf linkages and three 1,2-cis or β-Araf linkages end capped with 1,2-trans or α-Manp linkages. All the key glycosidations were performed with alkynyl carbonate glycosyl donors under [Au]/[Ag] catalysis conditions, which gave excellent yields and stereoselectivity even for the reactions between complex and branched oligosaccharides. The resultant allyl oligosaccharide was globally deprotected to obtain the heneicosasaccharyl arabinomannan as a propyl glycoside. In summary, heneicosasaccharyl mannose capped arabinomannan synthesis was achieved in 56 steps with 0.016% overall yield.

Abstract
Emergence of multidrug-resistant and extreme-drug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTb) can cause serious socioeconomic burdens. Arabinogalactan present on the cellular envelope of MTb is unique and is required for its survival; access to arabinogalactan is essential for understanding the biosynthetic machinery that assembles it. Isolation from Nature is a herculean task and, as a result, chemical synthesis is the most sought after technique. Here we report a convergent synthesis of branched heneicosafuranosyl arabinogalactan (HAG) of MTb. Key furanosylations are performed using [Au]/[Ag] catalysts. The synthesis of HAG is achieved by the repetitive use of three reactions namely 1,2-trans furanoside synthesis by propargyl 1,2-orthoester donors, unmasking of silyl ether, and conversion of n-pentenyl furanosides into 1,2-orthoesters. Synthesis of HAG is achieved in 47 steps (with an overall yield of 0.09%) of which 21 are installation of furanosidic linkages in a stereoselective manner. Arabinogalactan forms parts of the cellular envelope of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, however due to its size chemical synthesis is a massive task. Here the authors report the synthesis of branched heneicosafuranosyl arabinogalactan fragment by repeated use of a Au/Ag-catalysed glycosylation methodology.

Abstract
Changes in concentration (0.001-0.1 M) of an arabinofuranosyl donor (1) have been shown to modulate the temperature T at which activation of 1 occurs (from -23 °C to +7 °C), the reaction time (from 1.5 h to 3 days) and the yield of the disaccharide formed (from 14% to 82%). At concentrations exceeding 0.01 M, these parameters, as well as the specific optical rotation of the solution of 1, virtually do not depend on concentration suggesting formation of reacting species (supramers) of glycosyl donor with similar structures, hence reactivities, but considerably different from those formed in more dilute solutions. The found critical concentration (0.01 M) separates two concentration ranges of reaction solutions corresponding to two types of solution structure that are featured by the presence of fundamentally different supramers of glycosyl donor, which have distinct chemical properties. These results allow a fresh look at the problems of reactivity of chemical compounds and selectivity of the reactions in which they participate.

Abstract
The use of thiogalactofuranoside as donors for the construction of internal Galf containing oligosaccharide is limited, probably due to the difficulty to functionalize thiogalactofuranoside derivatives showing O-2, O-3, and O-5 with similar reactivity. An efficient method for complete regioselective 5-O-opening of conformationally restricted 3,5-O-di-tert-butylsilylene-d-galactofuranoside derivatives was developed. The use of a solution nBu4NF (1.1 equiv) in CH2Cl2 on 6 gave the 5-OH free derivative 10 as the only product (90%). 3-O-Di-tert-butylhydroxysilyl derivative 10 was stable upon purification and glycosylation reaction. Preactivation of conformationally restricted thioglycoside 6 employing p-NO2-benzensulfenyl chloride/AgOTf followed by condensation over the 5-OH thioglycoside acceptor 10 gave the corresponding disaccharide 12 without autocondensation byproduct. Regioselective 5-O-deprotection was also successfully performed over the (1→5)-β-d-galactofuranosyl di- and trisaccharide derivatives 12 and 13. This methodology allowed the differentiation between the secondary hydroxyl groups OH-3 and OH-5 of 1,2-cis or 1,2-trans d-galactofuranoside derivatives, and it still constitutes an innovative approach to access oligosaccharides of pharmacological importance.

Abstract
![]()
The cell surface (or cell wall) of bacteria is coated with carbohydrate
(or glycan) structures that play a number of important roles. These
include providing structural integrity, serving as a permeability
barrier to extracellular compounds (e.g., drugs) and modulating the
immune system of the host. Of interest to this Account is the cell
wall structure of mycobacteria. There are a host of different mycobacterial
species, some of which cause human disease. The most well-known is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis.
The mycobacterial cell wall is characterized by the presence of unusual
carbohydrate structures that fulfill the roles described above. However,
in many cases, a molecular-level understanding of how mycobacterial
cell wall glycans mediate these processes is lacking. Inspired
by a seminar he heard as a postdoctoral fellow, the author
began his independent research program with a focus on the chemical
synthesis of mycobacterial glycans. The goals were not only to develop
synthetic approaches to these unique structures but also to provide
molecules that could be used to probe their biological function. Initial
work addressed the preparation of fragments of two key polysaccharides,
arabinogalactan and lipoarabinomannan, which contain large numbers
of sugar residues in the furanose (five-membered) ring form. At the
time these investigations began, there were few methods reported for
the synthesis of oligosaccharides containing furanose rings. Thus,
early in the program, a major area of interest was methodology development,
particularly for the preparation of 1,2-cis-furanosides.
To solve this challenge, a range of conformationally restricted donors
have been developed, both in the author’s group and others,
which provide 1,2-cis-furanosidic linkages with high
stereoselectivity. These investigations were followed by application
of the developed
methods to the synthesis of a range of target molecules containing
arabinofuranose and galactofuranose residues. These molecules have
now found application in biochemical, immunological, and structural
biology investigations, which have shed light on their biosynthesis
and how these motifs are recognized by both the innate and adaptive
immune systems. More recently, attention has been directed toward
the synthesis
of another class of immunologically active mycobacterial cell wall
glycans, the extractable glycolipids. In this case, efforts have been
primarily on phenolic glycolipids, and the compounds synthesized have
been used to evaluate their ability to modulate cytokine release.
Over the past 20 years, the use of chemical synthesis to provide increasingly
complex glycan structures has provided significant benefit to the
burgeoning field of mycobacterial glycobiology. Through the efforts
of groups from around the globe, access to these compounds is now
possible via relatively straightforward methods. As the pool of mycobacterial
glycans continues to grow, so too will our understanding of their
role in disease, which will undoubtedly lead to new strategies to
prevent or treat mycobacterial infections.

Abstract
Rapid and simple synthesis of oligosaccharides related to one of the terminal motifs of mycobacterial lipoarabinomannan is described. An array of homologous linear α(1 → 5)-linked oligoarabinofuranosides with 4-(2-chloroethoxy)phenyl aglycon and selectively unprotected 5-OH group at the non-reducing end was obtained by oligomerization of 3-O-benzoyl β-D-arabinofuranose 1,2,5-orthobenzoate. Subsequent introduction of β(1 → 2)-linked arabinofuranose disaccharide moiety by step-wise glycosylation furnished the target oligosaccharides which were conjugated with bovine serum albumin.

Abstract
The occurrence of arabinofuranosides on the cell surface of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and their significance in controlling disease spurred interest in developing strategies for their diastereoselective synthesis. Mtb uses enzymes to achieve diastereoselectivity through noncovalent interactions. Of the two possible glycosidic linkages, chemically, 1,2-trans linkage is relatively easy to synthesize by taking advantage of neighboring group participation, whereas synthesis of the 1,2-cis linkage is notoriously difficult. In this article, stereochemical effects on the diastereoselectivity of arabinofuranosidation are investigated with thiopyridyl, imidate, and thiotolyl donors as well as differently crowded glycosyl acceptors; subtle differences in the stereochemical environment of the acceptors were observed to alter the diastereoselectivity of the furanoside formation. Results from this endeavor suggest that 1,2-cis arabinofuranosides can be synthesized conveniently by conducting the reaction at lower temperature on sterically demanding and less reactive substrates.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The main aim of this study was to describe the clinical manifestation of tuberculosis infection cases in Malaysia and to determine the individual risk factors for their occurrence. METHODOLOGY The study adopted a quantitative research approach with use of descriptive statistical approach. The study setting was a community clinic which treats walk in patients who are mainly living and working in the surrounding areas. The study was conducted for a period of one year. All tuberculosis patients who sought treatment in the clinic during the time were included in this study. The total number of cases was 40. Data was collected from the medical records of the tuberculosis patients. The risk factors selected for investigation were demographic characteristics of age and sex, personal habits such as smoking, drug use and alcohol and presence of diseases such as human immunodeficiency virus positive (HIV+), diabetes mellitus, cancer, cyanotic heart disease, renal failure and steroid use. RESULTS Patients in the age group ranging from 41 to 50 years had the highest incidence of the infection. Smoking appears to be the most important risk factor for contracting followed by drug abuse, HIV+ infection and diabetes mellitus. CONCLUSIONS People with diseases such as diabetes mellitus and HIV that are high risk factors for TB should be screened for TB so that early detection and intervention is possible. Educational programs should be carried out to create awareness among the at risk groups.
