Abstract
The enzyme-resistant thioglycosides are highly valuable immunogens because of their enhanced metabolic stability. We report the first synthesis of a family of thiooligosaccharides related to the capsular polysaccharides (CPS) of Campylobacter jejuni HS:4 for potential use in conjugate vaccines. The native CPS structures of the pathogen consist of a challenging repeating disaccharide formed with β(1→4)-linked 6-deoxy-β-D-ido-heptopyranoside and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine; the rare 6-deoxy-ido-heptopyranosyl backbone and β-anomeric configuration of the former monosaccharide makes the synthesis of this family of antigens very challenging. So far, no synthesis of the thioanalogs of the CPS antigens have been reported. The unprecedented synthesis presented in this work is built on an elegant approach by using β-glycosylthiolate as a glycosyl donor to open the 2,3-epoxide functionality of pre-designed 6-deoxy-β-D-talo-heptopyranosides. Our results illustrated that this key trans-thioglycosylation can be designed in a modular and regio and stereo-selective manner. Built on the success of this novel approach, we succeeded the synthesis of a family of thiooligosaccharides including a thiohexasaccharide which is considered to be the desired antigen length and complexity for immunizations. We also report the first direct conversion of base-stable but acid-labile 2-trimethylsilylethyl glycosides to glycosyl-1-thioacetates in a one-pot manner.

Abstract
Synthetic deoxy-fluoro-carbohydrate derivatives and seleno-sugars are useful tools in protein-carbohydrate interaction studies using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy because of the presence of the 19F and 77Se reporter nuclei. Seven saccharides containing both these atoms have been synthesized, three monosaccharides, methyl 6-deoxy-6-fluoro-1-seleno-β-D-galactopyranoside (1) and methyl 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-1-seleno-α/β-D-galactopyranoside (2α and 2β), and four disaccharides, methyl 4-O-(β-D-galactopyranosyl)-2-deoxy-2-fluoro-1-seleno-β-D-glucopyranoside (3), methyl 4-Se-(β-D-galactopyranosyl)-2-deoxy-2-fluoro-4-seleno-β-D-glucopyranoside (4), and methyl 4-Se-(2-deoxy-2-fluoro-α/β-D-galactopyranosyl)-4-seleno-β-D-glucopyranoside (5α and 5β), the three latter compounds with an interglycosidic selenium atom. Selenoglycosides 1 and 3 were obtained from the corresponding bromo sugar by treatment with dimethyl selenide and a reducing agent, while compounds 2α/2β, 4, and 5α/5β were synthesized by the coupling of a D-galactosyl selenolate, obtained in situ from the corresponding isoselenouronium salt, with either methyl iodide or a 4-O-trifluoromethanesulfonyl D-galactosyl moiety. While benzyl ether protecting groups were found to be incompatible with the selenide linkage during deprotection, a change to acetyl esters afforded 4 in a 17% overall yield and over 9 steps from peracetylated D-galactosyl bromide. The synthesis of 5 was performed similarly, but the 2-fluoro substituent led to reduced stereoselectivity in the formation of the isoselenouronium salt (α/β ∼ 1 : 2.3). However, the β-anomer of the uronium salt could be obtained almost pure (∼98%) by precipitation from the reaction mixture. The following displacement reaction occurred without anomerisation, affording, after deacetylation, pure 5β.

Abstract
Rotavirus (RV) causes 200,000 deaths per year and imposes a serious burden to public health and livestock farming worldwide. Currently, rehydration (oral and intravenous) remains the main strategy for the treatment of rotavirus gastroenteritis (RVGE), and no specific drugs are available. This review discusses the viral replication cycle in detail and outlines possible therapeutic approaches including immunotherapy, probiotic-assisted therapy, anti-enteric secretory drugs, Chinese medicine, and natural compounds. We present the latest advances in the field of rotavirus antivirals and highlights the potential use of Chinese medicine and natural compounds as therapeutic agents. This review provides an important reference for rotavirus prevention and treatment.

Abstract
Glycodendrimers are an important class of synthetic macromolecules that can be used to mimic many structural and functional features of cell-surface glycoconjugates. Their carbohydrate moieties perform key important functions in bacterial and viral infections, often regulated by carbohydrate-protein interactions. Several studies have shown that the molecular structure, valency and spatial organisation of carbohydrate epitopes in glycoconjugates are key factors in the specificity and avidity of carbohydrate-protein interactions. Choosing the right glycodendrimers almost always helps to interfere with such interactions and blocks bacterial or viral adhesion and entry into host cells as an effective strategy to inhibit bacterial or viral infections. Herein, the state of the art in the design and synthesis of glycodendrimers employed for the development of anti-adhesion therapy against bacterial and viral infections is described.

Structurally homologous sialidases exhibit a commonality in reactivity: Glycoside hydrolase-catalyzed hydrolysis of Kdn-thioglycosides. Bioorg Chem 2020; 106:104484.

Abstract
Aspergillus fumigatus is one of the main causative agents of invasive aspergillosis, an often-lethal fungal disease that affects immunocompromised individuals. A. fumigatus produces a sialidase that cleaves the nine-carbon carbohydrate Kdn from glycoconjugates. This enzyme plays a critical role in A. fumigatus pathogenicity, and is thus a target for the development of new therapeutics. In order to understand the reactivity of this Kdnase, and to develop a sensitive and selective assay for its catalytic activity we determined whether, like its close structural homolog the excreted sialidase produced by Micromonospora viridifaciens, this enzyme can efficiently hydrolyze thioglycoside substrates. We synthesized a panel of seven aryl 2-thio-d-glycero-α-d-galacto-non-2-ulopyranosonides and measured the activity of the A. fumigatus Kdnase towards these substrates. Four of these substrates were hydrolyzed by the A. fumigatus enzyme, although M. viridifaciens sialidase-catalyzed the hydrolysis of these Kdn thioglycosides with higher catalytic efficiencies (kcat/Km). We also tested an enzyme that was evolved from MvNA to improve its activity against Kdn glycosides (Glycobiology 2020, 30, 325). All three enzymes catalyzed the hydrolysis of the four most reactive Kdn thioglycosides and their second-order rate constants (kcat/Km) display a concave downwards Brønsted plot. The kinetic data, for each enzyme, is consistent with a change in rate-limiting step from CS bond cleavage for thioglycosides in which the pKa of the corresponding aryl thiol is >3.6, to a non-chemical step, which is likely a conformational change, that occurs prior to CS bond cleavage for the 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorothiophenyl glycoside.

Abstract
S-NeuAc-α(2-6)-di-LacNAc (5) was efficiently synthesized by a [2+2] followed by a [1+4] glycosylation, and later conjugated with 1,2-dilauroyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DLPE) to form both single-layer and multi-layer homogeneous liposomes in the presence of dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and cholesterol. These liposomes were found to be weak inhibitors in both the influenza virus entry assay and the hemagglutination inhibition assay. The single layer liposome was found to more efficiently interfere with the entry of the H1N1 influenza virus into MDCK cells than the multilayer liposome containing 5.

Abstract
Group A rotaviruses (RVAs) are divided into neuraminidase (NA)-sensitive and NA-insensitive strains depending upon their binding affinity to the VP8* domain in the terminal sialic acids (SAs) of cell surface carbohydrates. Although NA-sensitive strains are known to use terminal SAs as an attachment factor, the exact nature of this attachment factor is largely unknown. Here we show that the specific linkage of SA-containing glycan to glycoprotein or glycolipid is an attachment factor used by NA-sensitive porcine G9P[7] PRG9121 and G9P[23] PRG942, bovine G6P[1] NCDV, and canine G3P[3] strains. Infectivity of porcine G9P[7] and G9P[23] strains was markedly blocked by α2,3-linkage and α2,6-linkage inhibitors, indicating that these strains bind to both α2,3- and α2,6-linked SAs. However, the infectivity of bovine G6P[1] and canine G3P[3] strains was significantly reduced by α2,6-linkage inhibitor but not by α2,3-linkage blockers, demonstrating a predilection of these strains for α2,6-linked SAs. The infectivity of four NA-sensitive strains was equally reduced by inhibitors of lipid membrane and N-linked glycoprotein but not by an inhibitor of O-linked glycoprotein, indicating that these strains utilize both glycolipid and N-linked glycoprotein. Our study demonstrates that four NA-sensitive animal strains could have a strain-dependent binding preference toward α2,6-linked SAs (P[1] NCDV and P[3] CU-1 strains) or both α2,3- and α2,6-linked SAs (P[7] PRG9121 and P[23] PRG942 strains) to the glycolipid and N-linked glycoprotein.

Abstract
Anti-rotaviral activities of Sophora flavescens extract (SFE) and stevioside (SV) from Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni either singly or in various combinations were examined in vitro and in vivo using a porcine rotavirus G5[P7] strain. Combination of SFE and SV inhibited in vitro virus replication more efficiently than each single treatment. In the piglet model, SV had no effect on rotavirus enteritis, whereas SFE improved but did not completely cure rotaviral enteritis. Interestingly, combination therapy of SFE and SV alleviated diarrhea, and markedly improved small intestinal lesion score and fecal virus shedding. Acute toxicity tests including the piglet lethal dose 50, and body weight, organ weight and pathological changes for the combination therapy did not show any adverse effect on the piglets. These preliminary data suggest that the combination therapy of SV and SFE is a potential curative medication for rotaviral diarrhea in pigs. Determination of the efficacy of this combination therapy in other species including humans needs to be addressed in the future.

Relative roles of GM1 ganglioside, N-acylneuraminic acids, and α2β1 integrin in mediating rotavirus infection. J Virol 2014; 88:4558-71.

Abstract
UNLABELLED N-acetyl- and N-glycolylneuraminic acids (Sia) and α2β1 integrin are frequently used by rotaviruses as cellular receptors through recognition by virion spike protein VP4. The VP4 subunit VP8*, derived from Wa rotavirus, binds the internal N-acetylneuraminic acid on ganglioside GM1. Wa infection is increased by enhanced internal Sia access following terminal Sia removal from main glycan chains with sialidase. The GM1 ligand cholera toxin B (CTB) reduces Wa infectivity. Here, we found sialidase treatment increased cellular GM1 availability and the infectivity of several other human (including RV-3) and animal rotaviruses, typically rendering them susceptible to methyl α-d-N-acetylneuraminide treatment, but did not alter α2β1 usage. CTB reduced the infectivity of these viruses. Aceramido-GM1 inhibited Wa and RV-3 infectivity in untreated and sialidase-treated cells, and GM1 supplementation increased their infectivity, demonstrating the importance of GM1 for infection. Wa recognition of α2β1 and internal Sia were at least partially independent. Rotavirus usage of GM1 was mapped to VP4 using virus reassortants, and RV-3 VP8* bound aceramido-GM1 by saturation transfer difference nuclear magnetic resonance (STD NMR). Most rotaviruses recognizing terminal Sia did not use GM1, including RRV. RRV VP8* interacted minimally with aceramido-GM1 by STD NMR. Unusually, TFR-41 rotavirus infectivity depended upon terminal Sia and GM1. Competition of CTB, Sia, and/or aceramido-GM1 with cell binding by VP8* from representative rotaviruses showed that rotavirus Sia and GM1 preferences resulted from VP8*-cell binding. Our major finding is that infection by human rotaviruses of commonly occurring VP4 serotypes involves VP8* binding to cell surface GM1 glycan, typically including the internal N-acetylneuraminic acid. IMPORTANCE Rotaviruses, the major cause of severe infantile gastroenteritis, recognize cell surface receptors through virus spike protein VP4. Several animal rotaviruses are known to bind sialic acids at the termini of main carbohydrate chains. Conversely, only a single human rotavirus is known to bind sialic acid. Interestingly, VP4 of this rotavirus bound to sialic acid that forms a branch on the main carbohydrate chain of the GM1 ganglioside. Here, we use several techniques to demonstrate that other human rotaviruses exhibit similar GM1 usage properties. Furthermore, binding by VP4 to cell surface GM1, involving branched sialic acid recognition, is shown to facilitate infection. In contrast, most animal rotaviruses that bind terminal sialic acids did not utilize GM1 for VP4 cell binding or infection. These studies support a significant role for GM1 in mediating host cell invasion by human rotaviruses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to develop a new class of influenza A virus haemagglutinin (HA) blockers by tethering thiosialoside molecules to metal nanoparticles and producing glycoclusters that enhance the affinity of HA binding by N-acetylneuraminic acid. METHODS Oxygen of the glycoside bond of sialoside was replaced with sulfur to prevent hydrolytic digestion of the N-acetylneuraminic acid residue by viral neuraminidase. Two novel thiosialosides, α-2-S-[p-(N-levulinyl)aminophenyl]-5-N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac-S-Lev) and α-2-S-[m-(N-levulinyl)aminobenzyl]-5-N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac-S-CH2-Lev), were tethered onto the surface of metal nanoparticles via an aminooxy functionalized thiol linker in a glycoblotting reaction. Gold (Au) and silver (Ag) nanoparticles were coated simultaneously with 11-mercaptoundecyl phosphorylcholine to reduce non-specific adsorption of proteins. Phosphorylcholine self-assembled monolayer-coated metals displaying clustered Neu5Ac (Neu5Ac-PCSAM-Au and Neu5Ac-PCSAM-Ag) were subjected to haemagglutination inhibition (HI) assays using the influenza A virus strain A/PR/8/1934 (H1N1). RESULTS Glyconanoparticles with thiosialosides had potent HI activities. In particular, Neu5Ac-PCSAM-Au with a diameter of 20 nm corresponding to 9.8 μM monosaccharide Neu5Ac was the most potent HA inhibitor. The versatility of this strategy was demonstrated by similar submicromolar HI activities of Neu5Ac-PCSAM-Ag with diameters of 50 nm and 150 nm. CONCLUSIONS Glycosylated metal nanoparticles were designed and synthesized as potent influenza A virus HA blockers. This study may contribute to the acceleration of the discovery of a new class of nanoparticle anti-influenza drugs.

Abstract
Removal of 9-O-acetyl residues from the cell surface N-acetylneuraminic acid makes ALL cells drug sensitive. The development of resistance to chemotherapy is a major cause of relapse in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Though several mechanisms associated with drug resistance have been studied in detail, the role of carbohydrate modification remains unexplored. Here, we investigated the contribution of 9-O-acetylated N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) to survival and drug resistance development in ALL cells. A strong induction of 9-O-acetylated Neu5Ac including 9-O-acetyl GD3 was detected in ALL cells that developed resistance against vincristine or nilotinib, drugs with distinct cytotoxic mechanisms. Removal of 9-O-acetyl residues from Neu5Ac on the cell surface by an O-acetylesterase made ALL cells more vulnerable to such drugs. Moreover, removal of intracellular and cell surface–resident 9-O-acetyl Neu5Ac by lentiviral transduction of the esterase was lethal to ALL cells in vitro even in the presence of stromal protection. Interestingly, expression of the esterase in normal fibroblasts or endothelial cells had no effect on their survival. Transplanted mice induced for expression of the O-acetylesterase in the ALL cells exhibited a reduction of leukemia to minimal cell numbers and significantly increased survival. This demonstrates that Neu5Ac 9-O-acetylation is essential for survival of these cells and suggests that Neu5Ac de-O-acetylation could be used as therapy to eradicate drug-resistant ALL cells.

Abstract
Both, the influenza C (INF-C) virus haemagglutinin esterase fusion and bovine coronavirus (BCoV) haemagglutinin esterase surface glycoproteins exhibit a lectin binding capability and a receptor-destroying 9-O-acetyl esterase activity that recognise 9-O-acetyl-N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5,9Ac(2))-containing glycans. Here we report nuclear magnetic resonance and molecular modelling studies on the 9-O-acetyl esterase showing that the alpha-configured Neu5,9Ac(2) is strictly preferred by the INF-C and BCoV esterases. Interestingly, we have discovered that the INF-C esterase function releases acetate independently of the chemical nature of the aglycon moiety, whereas subtle differences in substrate recognition were found for BCoV esterase. Analysis of the apo and complexed X-ray crystal structure of INF-C esterase revealed that binding of 9-O-acetylated N-acetylneuraminic acids is a dynamic process that involves conformational rearrangement of serine-57 in the esterase active site. This study provides valuable insights towards the design of drugs to combat INF-C virus and coronavirus infections causing outbreaks of upper respiratory infections and severe diarrhea in calves, respectively.

Abstract
Rotavirus infection leads to the death of half a million children annually. The exact specifics of interaction between rotavirus particles and host cells enabling invasion and infection have remained elusive. Host cell oligosaccharides are critical components, and their involvement aids the virus in cell-recognition and attachment, as well as dictation of the remarkable host-specificity that rotaviruses demonstrate. Interaction between the rotavirus spike-protein carbohydrate-binding domain (VP8*) and cell surface oligosaccharides facilitate virus recognition of host cells and attachment. Rotaviruses are considered, controversially, to recognise vastly different carbohydrate structures and either with incorporation of terminal sialic acid or without, as assessed by their ability to infect cells that have been pre-treated with sialidases. Herein, the X-ray crystallographic structures of VP8* from the sialidase insensitive Wa and the sialidase sensitive CRW-8 rotavirus strains that cause debilitating gastroenteritis in human and pig are reported. Striking differences are apparent regarding recognition of the sialic acid derivative methyl alpha-D-N-acetylneuraminide, presenting the first experimental evidence of the inability of the human rotavirus strain to bind this monosaccharide, that correlates with Wa and CRW-8 recognising sialidase-resistant and sialidase-sensitive receptors, respectively. Identified are structural features that provide insight in attainment of substrate specificity exhibited by porcine strains as compared to rhesus rotavirus. Revealed in the CRW-8 VP8* structure is an additional bound ligand that intriguingly, is within a cleft located equivalent to the carbohydrate-binding region of galectins, and is suggestive of a new region for interaction with cell-surface carbohydrates. This novel result and detailed comparison of our representative sialidase-sensitive CRW-8 and insensitive Wa VP8* structures with those reported leads to our hypothesis that this groove is used for binding carbohydrates, and that for the human strains, as for other sialidase-insensitive strains could represent a major oligosaccharide-binding region.

Abstract
Rotaviruses are the leading cause of childhood diarrhea. The entry of rotaviruses into the host cell is a complex process that includes several interactions of the outer layer proteins of the virus with different cell surface molecules. The fact that neuraminidase treatment of the cells, or preincubation of the virus with sialic acid-containing compounds decrease the infectivity of some rotavirus strains, suggested that these viruses interact with sialic acid on the cell surface. The infectivity of some other rotavirus strains is not affected by neuraminidase treatment of the cells, and therefore they are considered neuraminidase-resistant. However, the current evidence suggests that even these neuraminidase-resistant strains might interact with sialic acids located in context different from that of the sialic acids used by the neuraminidase-sensitive strains. This review summarizes our current knowledge of the rotavirus-sialic acid interaction, its structural basis, the specificity with which distinct rotavirus isolates interact with sialic acid-containing compounds, and also the potential use of these compounds as therapeutic agents.

Abstract
The VP8* subunit of rotavirus spike protein VP4 contains a sialic acid (Sia)-binding domain important for host cell attachment and infection. In this study, the binding epitope of the N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) derivatives has been characterized by saturation transfer difference (STD) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. From this STD NMR data, it is proposed that the VP8* core recognizes an identical binding epitope in both methyl alpha-D-N-acetylneuraminide (Neu5Acalpha2Me) and the disaccharide methyl S-(alpha-D-N-acetylneuraminosyl)-(2-->6)-6-thio-beta-D-galactopyranoside (Neu5Ac-alpha(2,6)-S-Galbeta1Me). In the VP8*-disaccharide complex, the Neu5Ac moiety contributes to the majority of interaction with the protein, whereas the galactose moiety is solvent-exposed. Molecular dynamics calculations of the VP8*-disaccharide complex indicated that the galactose moiety is unable to adopt a conformation that is in close proximity to the protein surface. STD NMR experiments with methyl 9-O-acetyl-alpha-D-N-acetylneuraminide (Neu5,9Ac(2)alpha2Me) in complex with rhesus rotavirus (RRV) VP8* revealed that both the N-acetamide and 9-O-acetate moieties are in close proximity to the Sia-binding domain, with the N-acetamide's methyl group being saturated to a larger extent, indicating a closer association with the protein. RRV VP8* does not appear to significantly recognize the unsaturated Neu5Ac derivative [2-deoxy-2,3-didehydro-D-N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac2en)]. Molecular modeling of the protein-Neu5Ac2en complex indicates that key interactions between the protein and the unsaturated Neu5Ac derivative when compared with Neu5Acalpha2Me would not be sustained. Neu5Acalpha2Me, Neu5Ac-alpha(2,6)-S-Galbeta1Me, Neu5,9Ac(2)alpha2Me, and Neu5Ac2en inhibited rotavirus infection of MA104 cells by 61%, 35%, 30%, and 0%, respectively, at 10 mM concentration. NMR spectroscopic, molecular modeling, and infectivity inhibition results are in excellent agreement and provide valuable information for the design of inhibitors of rotavirus infection.

Abstract
The sialidase from Micromonospora viridifaciens has been found to catalyze the hydrolysis of aryl 2-thio-alpha-D-sialosides with remarkable efficiency: the first- and second-order rate constants, kcat and kcat/Km, for the enzyme-catalyzed hydrolysis of PNP-S-NeuAc are 196 +/- 5 s(-1) and (6.7 +/- 0.7) x 10(5) M(-1) s(-1), respectively. A reagent panel of eight aryl 2-thio-alpha-D-sialosides was synthesized and used to probe the mechanism for the M. viridifaciens sialidase-catalyzed hydrolysis reaction. In the case of the wild-type enzyme, the derived Brønsted parameters (beta(lg)) on kcat and kcat/Km are -0.83 +/- 0.11 and -1.27 +/- 0.17 for substrates with thiophenoxide leaving groups of pKa values > or = 4.5. For the general-acid mutant, D92G, the derived beta(lg) value on kcat for the same set of leaving groups is -0.82 +/- 0.12. When the conjugate acid of the departing thiophenol was < or = 4.5, the derived Brønsted slopes for both the wild-type and the D92G mutant sialidase were close to zero. In contrast, the nucleophilic mutant, Y370G, did not display a similar break in the Brønsted plots, and the corresponding values for beta(lg), for the three most reactive aryl 2-thiosialosides, on kcat and kcat/Km are -0.76 +/- 0.28 and -0.84 +/- 0.04, respectively. Thus, for the Y370G enzyme glycosidic C-S bond cleavage is rate-determining for both kcat and kcat/Km, whereas, for both the wild-type and D92G mutant enzymes, the presented data are consistent with a change in rate-determining step from glycosidic C-S bond cleavage for substrates in which the pKa of the conjugate acid of the leaving group is > or = 4.5, to either deglycosylation (kcat) or a conformational change that occurs prior to C-S bond cleavage (kcat/Km) for the most activated leaving groups. Thus, the enzyme-catalyzed hydrolysis of 2-thiosialosides is strongly catalyzed by the nucleophilic tyrosine residue, yet the C-S bond cleavage does not require the conserved aspartic acid residue (D92) to act as a general-acid catalyst.

Abstract
Rotaviruses are the most significant cause of gastroenteritis in young children and are responsible for over 600,000 infant deaths annually. The rotaviral haemagglutinin protein (VP8*) of some strains has been implicated in early recognition and binding events of host cell-surface sialoglycoconjugates, and is therefore an attractive target for potential therapeutic intervention. Since N-acetylneuraminic acid alpha(2,3)-linked to galactose is believed to be the minimum binding epitope of rotavirus to host cells, we report here our development of an efficient and flexible synthetic route to a range of lactose-based sialylmimetics of alpha(2,3)-linked thiosialosides. These compounds were biologically evaluated as inhibitors of rotaviral infection using an in vitro neutralisation assay. The results suggest that these lactose-based sialylmimetics are not inhibitors of the rhesus rotavirus strain; however, they do exhibit modest inhibition of the human (Wa) strain, presumably through inhibition of the rotaviral adhesion process.

Abstract
As obligate intracellular parasites, viruses must bind to, and enter, permissive host cells in order to gain access to the cellular machinery that is required for their replication. The very large number of mammalian viruses identified to date is reflected in the fact that almost every human and animal cell type is a target for infection by one, or commonly more than one, species of virus. As viruses have adapted to target certain cell types for their propagation, there is exquisite specificity in cellular tropism. This specificity is frequently, but not always, mediated by the first step in the viral replication cycle: attachment of viral surface proteins to receptors expressed on susceptible cells. Viral receptors may be protein, carbohydrate, and/or lipid. Many viruses can use more than one attachment receptor, and indeed may sequentially engage multiple receptors to infect a cell. Thus, it is useful to differentiate between attachment receptors, that simply allow viruses a foothold at the limiting membrane of a cell, and entry receptors that mediate delivery the viral genome into the cytoplasm. For some viruses the attachment factors that promote binding to permissive cells are very well defined, but the sequence of events that triggers viral entry is only now beginning to be understood. For other viruses, despite many efforts, the receptors remain elusive. In this chapter we will confine our review to viruses that infect mammals, with particular focus on human pathogens. We do not intend that this will be an exhaustive overview of viral attachment receptors; instead we will take a number of examples of well-characterized virus-receptor interactions, discuss supporting evidence, and highlight any controversies and uncertainties in the field. We will then conclude with a reflection on general principles of viral attachment, consider some exceptions to these principles, and make some suggestion for future research.

Abstract
Rat cytosolic sialidase is expressed at elevated levels in skeletal muscle and is believed to play a role in the myogenic differentiation of muscle cells. Here, we observed varying levels of enhancement of sialidase activity in the presence a range of divalent cations. In particular, a significant enhancement of activity was observed in the presence of Ca2+. Conversely, inhibition of the sialidase activity was found when the enzyme was incubated in the presence of Cu2+, EDTA, and a range of carbohydrate-based inhibitors. Finally, an investigation of the enzymatic hydrolysis of a synthetic substrate, 4-methylumbelliferyl N-acetyl-alpha-D-neuraminide, by 1H NMR spectroscopy revealed that the reaction catalysed by rat skeletal muscle cytosolic sialidase proceeds with overall retention of anomeric configuration. This result further supports the notion that all sialidases appear to be retaining enzymes.

Abstract
Viral gastroenteritis (mainly after rotavirus infection) directly causes death through dehydration. Thus, the treatment and prevention of dehydration are the primary goals in caring for infants with gastroenteritis. Viral gastroenteritis can also inflict considerable nutritional insult on children because of anorexia, vomiting, malabsorption, and traditional therapies in which nutritionally poor diets are offered. This chapter discusses the treatment of the deficiencies of fluids, electrolytes, and nutrients. While there are already very good cost-effective strategies for correcting the sequelae of viral gastroenteritis, there is little yet available to effectively treat the acute symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea. The chapter discusses several potential modes of symptomatic therapy for viral gastroenteritis including probiotics, antivirals, passive immunotherapy, and antidiarrheals. The first major advance in the treatment of dehydration was the development of effective intravenous rehydration therapy.

Abstract
Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy demonstrates that the rhesus rotavirus hemagglutinin specifically binds alpha-anomeric N-acetylneuraminic acid with a K(d) of 1.2 mM. The hemagglutinin requires no additional carbohydrate moieties for binding, does not distinguish 3' from 6' sialyllactose, and has approximately tenfold lower affinity for N-glycolylneuraminic than for N-acetylneuraminic acid. The broad specificity and low affinity of sialic acid binding by the rotavirus hemagglutinin are consistent with this interaction mediating initial cell attachment prior to the interactions that determine host range and cell type specificity.

Abstract
Cell attachment and membrane penetration are functions of the rotavirus outer capsid spike protein, VP4. An activating tryptic cleavage of VP4 produces the N-terminal fragment, VP8*, which is the viral hemagglutinin and an important target of neutralizing antibodies. We have determined, by X-ray crystallography, the atomic structure of the VP8* core bound to sialic acid and, by NMR spectroscopy, the structure of the unliganded VP8* core. The domain has the beta-sandwich fold of the galectins, a family of sugar binding proteins. The surface corresponding to the galectin carbohydrate binding site is blocked, and rotavirus VP8* instead binds sialic acid in a shallow groove between its two beta-sheets. There appears to be a small induced fit on binding. The residues that contact sialic acid are conserved in sialic acid-dependent rotavirus strains. Neutralization escape mutations are widely distributed over the VP8* surface and cluster in four epitopes. From the fit of the VP8* core into the virion spikes, we propose that VP4 arose from the insertion of a host carbohydrate binding domain into a viral membrane interaction protein.

Abstract
Antiviral activity of sulfated sialyl lipid (NMSO3) against human rotavirus (RV) was examined in vitro and in vivo. NMSO3 inhibited the replication of four major serotypes (G1 to G4) of human rotavirus with a low 50% effective concentration of 1 to 5 microg/ml and 50% cytotoxic concentration of 153 microg/ml when determined by plaque assays with MA104 cells. Exposure of NMSO3 to HCl (pH 2.0) for 30 min exhibited no loss of anti-RV activity. Time-of-addition experiments revealed that NMSO3 inhibited the adsorption of four serotypes of RV to MA104 cells. Furthermore, an assay of virus binding with radiolabeled RVs revealed that NMSO3 inhibited the binding of virus to MA104 cells, suggesting that NMSO3 may bind to VP4 and/or VP7. Prophylactic oral administration of NMSO3 (10 microg three times per day, 4 days) to five suckling mice starting 30 min before inoculation of MO strain (3 x 10(6) PFU/mouse) prevented the development of diarrhea. Four of five mice showed no stool or brown formed stool, and only one mouse showed brown soft stool, while water treatment caused watery diarrhea in all five mice. The mean titer of antibody to RV in mice which received NMSO3 at 10 microg three times per day for 4 days was significantly lower than that of untreated, infected mice. NMSO3 is a promising candidate for the prophylactic treatment of human RVs.

Abstract
Rotaviruses cause severe gastroenteritis in infants and are estimated to be responsible for over 600 000 deaths annually, primarily in developing countries. The development of potential inhibitors of this virus is therefore of great interest, particularly since the safety and efficacy of rotaviral vaccines has recently been questioned. This study describes the synthesis of a variety of compounds that can be considered as mimetics of N-acetylneuraminic acid thioglycosides and the subsequent in vitro biological evaluation of these sialylmimetics as inhibitors of rotaviral infection. Our results show that readily accessible carbohydrate-based compounds have the potential to act as inhibitors of rotaviral replication in vitro, presumably through inhibition of the rotaviral adhesion process.

Abstract
Anti-human rotavirus (HRV) activity of hot water extracts from Stevia rebaudiana (SE) was examined. SE inhibited the replication of all four serotypes of HRV in vitro. This inhibitory effect of SE was not reduced on the prior exposure of SE to HCl for 30 min at pH 2. Binding assay with radiolabeled purified viruses indicated that the inhibitory mechanism of SE is the blockade of virus binding. The SE inhibited the binding of anti-VP7 monoclonal antibody to HRV-infected MA104 cells. The inhibitory components of SE were found to be heterogeneous anionic polysaccharides with different ion charges. The component analyses suggested that the purified fraction named as Stevian with the highest inhibitory activity consists of the anionic polysaccharide with molecular weight of 9800, and contains Ser and Ala as amino acids. Analyses of sugar residues suggest uronic acid(s) as sugar components. It did not contain amino and neutral sugars and sulfate residues. These findings suggest that SE may bind to 37 kD VP7 and interfere with the binding of VP7 to the cellular receptors by steric hindrance, which results in the blockade of the virus attachment to cells.

Abstract
The intimate involvement of carbohydrate-protein interactions in a number of important biological processes has prompted several research efforts towards developing new methods of investigating these glycobiological interactions. Biotinylated oligosaccharides are emerging as a new and powerful tool in this area of research, primarily due to their high affinity towards streptavidin and their ease of immobilization on matrices. Here we describe a novel synthetic approach towards biotinylated saccharides which incorporate a UV absorbing group into the final compounds. The synthetic strategy described is applicable to a variety of saccharides, with examples of biotinylated mono-, di-, and trisaccharides being prepared with overall high efficiency.

Abstract
A novel N-acetylneuraminic acid analogue, 2-S-(5'-aminopentyl) 5-acetamido-3,5-dideoxy-2-thio-D-glycero-alpha-D-galacto-2- nonulopyranosidonic acid, as well as the thiosialoside 2-S-(2'-aminoethyl) 5-acetamido-3,5-dideoxy-2-thio-D-glycero-alpha-D-galacto-2- nonulopyranosidonic acid, have been synthesised and successfully coupled to CNBr-activated Sepharose 4B through the terminal amino group. The resultant affinity resins have proved efficient in purifying a number of sialic acid-recognising proteins such as Vibrio cholerae sialidase, sialidase-L from leech, trans-sialidase from Trypanosoma cruzi, and sialyltransferases from rat liver, all in high yield.
