Tanaka T. Recent Advances in Polymers Bearing Activated Esters for the Synthesis of Glycopolymers by Postpolymerization Modification. Polymers (Basel) 2024; 16:1100. [PMID: 38675019 PMCID: PMC11053895 DOI: 10.3390/polym16081100] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2024] [Revised: 04/11/2024] [Accepted: 04/12/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Glycopolymers are functional polymers with saccharide moieties on their side chains and are attractive candidates for biomaterials. Postpolymerization modification can be employed for the synthesis of glycopolymers. Activated esters are useful in various fields, including polymer chemistry and biochemistry, because of their high reactivity and ease of reaction. In particular, the formation of amide bonds caused by the reaction of activated esters with amino groups is of high synthetic chemical value owing to its high selectivity. It has been employed in the synthesis of various functional polymers, including glycopolymers. This paper reviews the recent advances in polymers bearing activated esters for the synthesis of glycopolymers by postpolymerization modification. The development of polymers bearing hydrophobic and hydrophilic activated esters is described. Although water-soluble activated esters are generally unstable and hydrolyzed in water, novel polymer backbones bearing water-soluble activated esters are stable and useful for postpolymerization modification for synthesizing glycopolymers in water. Dual postpolymerization modification can be employed to modify polymer side chains using two different molecules. Thiolactone and glycine propargyl esters on the polymer backbone are described as activated esters for dual postpolymerization modification.

Abstract
Although curcumin and its analogs exhibit anticancer activity, they are still not used as anticancer drugs because of their water insolubility and extremely poor bioavailability. This study describes the development of water-soluble prodrugs of GO-Y030, a potent antitumor C5-curcuminoid, in an attempt to enhance its bioavailability. These prodrugs release the parent compound via a retro-thia-Michael reaction. To endow sufficient hydrophilicity onto GO-Y030 via a single thia-Michael reaction of an aqueous entity, we used a modified glycoconjugate with a thiol group. The water-solubilizing motif was installed on GO-Y030 by the thia-Michael reaction of propargyl-polyethylene glycol (PEG)-thiol and subsequent click chemistry (CuAAC) reaction with 1-glycosyl azide. Turbidity measurements revealed a significantly improved water solubility of the prodrugs, demonstrating that disaccharide conjugates were completely dissolved in water at 100 µM. Their cytotoxicity was comparable to that of the parent compound GO-Y030, indicating the gradual in situ release of GO-Y030. The release of GO-Y030 from GO-Y199 via the retro-thia-Michael reaction was demonstrated through a degradation study in water. Our retro-thia-Michael reaction-based prodrug system can be used for targeting cancer cells.

Abstract
The production of biofuels from lignocellulosic biomass using carbohydrate-active enzymes like cellulases is key to a sustainable energy production. Understanding the adsorption mechanism of cellulases and associated binding domain proteins down to the molecular level details will help in the rational design of improved cellulases. In nature, carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs) from families 17 and 28 often appear in tandem appended to the C-terminus of several endocellulases. Both CBMs are known to bind to the amorphous regions of cellulose non-competitively and show similar binding affinity towards soluble cello-oligosaccharides. Based on the available crystal structures, these CBMs may display a uni-directional binding preference towards cello-oligosaccharides (based on how the oligosaccharide was bound within the CBM binding cleft). However, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have indicated no such clear preference. Considering that most soluble oligosaccharides are not always an ideal substrate surrogate to study the binding of CBMs to the native cell wall or cell surface displayed glycans, it is critical to use alternative reagents or substrates. To better understand the binding of type B CBMs towards smaller cello-oligosaccharides, we have developed a simple solid-state depletion or pull-down binding assay. Here, we specifically orient azido-labeled carbohydrates from the reducing end to alkyne-labeled micron-sized bead surfaces, using click chemistry, to mimic insoluble cell wall surface-displayed glycans. Our results reveal that both family 17 and 28 CBMs displayed a similar binding affinity towards cellohexaose-modified beads, but not cellopentaose-modified beads, which helps rationalize previously reported crystal structure and MD data. This may indicate a preferred uni-directional binding of specific CBMs and could explain their co-evolution as tandem constructs appended to endocellulases to increase amorphous cellulose substrate targeting efficiency. Overall, our proposed workflow can be easily translated to measure the affinity of glycan-binding proteins to click-chemistry based immobilized surface-displayed carbohydrates or antigens.

Abstract
Lipid nanoreactors are biomimetic reaction vessels (nanoreactors) that can host aqueous or membrane-associated chemical and enzymatic reactions. Nanoreactors provide ultra-miniaturization from atto- to zeptoliter volumes per reaction vessel with the major challenge of encoding and spatio-temporal control over reactions at the individual nanoreactor or population level, thereby controlling volumes several orders of magnitude below advanced microfluidic devices. We present DNA-programmed lipid nanoreactors (PLNs) functionalized with lipidated oligonucleotides (LiNAs) that allow programming and encoding of nanoreactor interactions by controlled membrane fusion, exemplified for a set of carbohydrate mimetics with mono- to hexasaccharide azide building blocks connected by click-chemistry. Programmed reactions are initiated by fusion of distinct populations of nanoreactors with individually encapsulated building blocks. A focused library of triazole-linked carbohydrate-Cy5 conjugates formed by strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloadditions demonstrated LiNA-programmed chemistry, including two-step reaction schemes. The PLN method is developed toward a robust platform for synthesis in confined space employing fully programmable nanoreactors, applicable to multistep synthesis for the generation of combinatorial libraries with subsequent analysis of the molecules formed, based on the addressability of the lipid nanoreactors.

Abstract
β-(1,2)-Mannan antigens incorporated into vaccines candidates for immunization studies, showed that antibodies raised against β-(1,2)-mannotriose antigens can protect against disseminated candidiasis. Until recently, β-(1,2)- mannans could only be obtained by isolation from microbial cultures, or by lengthy synthetic strategies involving protecting group manipulation. The discovery of two β-(1,2)-mannoside phosphorylases, Teth514_1788 and Teth514_1789, allowed efficient access to these compounds. In this work, Teth514_1788 was utilised to generate β-(1,2)-mannan antigens, tri- and tetra-saccharides, decorated with a conjugation tether at the reducing end, suitable to be incorporated on a carrier en-route to novel vaccine candidates, illustrated here by conjugation of the trisaccharide to BSA.

Abstract
Influenza virus infection remains a threat to human health since viral hemagglutinins are constantly drifting, escaping infection and vaccine-induced antibody responses. Viral hemagglutinins from different viruses display variability in glycan recognition. In this context, recent H3N2 viruses have specificity for α2,6 sialylated branched N-glycans with at least three N-acetyllactosamine units (tri-LacNAc). In this work, we combined glycan arrays and tissue binding analyses with nuclear magnetic resonance experiments to characterize the glycan specificity of a family of H1 variants, including the one responsible for the 2009 pandemic outbreak. We also analyzed one engineered H6N1 mutant to understand if the preference for tri-LacNAc motifs could be a general trend in human-type receptor-adapted viruses. In addition, we developed a new NMR approach to perform competition experiments between glycans with similar compositions and different lengths. Our results point out that pandemic H1 viruses differ from previous seasonal H1 viruses by a strict preference for a minimum of di-LacNAc structural motifs.

Abstract
Unprotected sugars are selectively acetylated simply by stirring in aqueous solution in the presence of acetic anhydride and a weak base such as sodium carbonate. The reaction is selective for acetylation of the anomeric hydroxyl group of mannose, 2-acetamido, and 2-deoxy sugars and can be performed on a large scale. Competitive intramolecular migration of the 1-O-acetate to the 2-hydroxyl group when these two substituents are cis causes over-reaction and the formation of product mixtures.

Abstract
Carbohydrates are an important class of naturally active products and play vital roles in regulating various physiological activities. To meet the demand for carbohydrate-based libraries used for the identification of potential drug candidates for pharmaceutical-related targets, we developed a set of on-DNA protocols to construct the DNA-encoded glycoconjugates, including Seyferth-Gilbert homologation, anomeric azidation, and CuAAC cyclization. These on-DNA chemistries enable the generation and modification of DNA-linked glycosyl compounds with good conversions and broad substrate scope. Finally, three DNA-linked glycoconjugate libraries were successfully generated to demonstrate their applicability and feasibility in library preparation.

Abstract
The glycosylation of unprotected carbohydrates has emerged as an area of significant interest because it obviates the need for long reaction sequences involving protecting-group manipulations. Herein, we report the one-pot synthesis of anomeric glycosyl phosphates through the condensation of unprotected carbohydrates with phospholipid derivatives while retaining high stereo- and regioselective control. The anomeric center was activated using 2-chloro-1,3-dimethylimidazolinium chloride to facilitate condensation with glycerol-3-phosphate derivatives in an aqueous solution. A water/propionitrile mixture provided superior stereoselectivity while maintaining good yields. Under these optimized conditions, the condensation of stable isotope-labeled glucose with phosphatidic acid provided efficient access to labeled glycophospholipids as an internal standard for mass spectrometry.

Abstract
O-Glycosylated N-acetyl-β-d-glucosamine-selective N-acetyl-β-d-glucosaminidase (O-GlcNAcase), belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 84 (GH84), is known as a retaining glycosidase with the possibility of enzymatic transglycosylation. However, no enzymatic transglycosylation catalyzed by GH84 O-GlcNAcase has been reported. Here, enzymatic transglycosylation catalyzed by GH84 O-GlcNAcase was first reported. The enzymatic transglycosylation catalyzed by the GH84 O-GlcNAcase from Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron (BtGH84 O-GlcNAcase) was attained using 1,2-oxazoline derivative of N-acetyl-d-glucosamine (GlcNAc oxazoline) as a glycosyl donor substrate. The β-linked N-acetyl-d-glucosamine (GlcNAc) derivative was enzymatically synthesized using N-(2-hydroxyethyl)acrylamide as an acceptor substrate. Interestingly, the β1,6-linked disaccharide derivative of GlcNAc was also obtained in the case of using the GlcNAc derivative with a triazole-linked acrylamide group as an acceptor substrate. Additionally, a one-pot chemo-enzymatic transglycosylation starting from unprotected GlcNAc through GlcNAc oxazoline successfully showed through the combination with the direct synthesis of GlcNAc oxazoline in water and the enzymatic transglycosylation.

Abstract
Herein, we report the direct conversion of anomeric hydroxides to glycosyl azides in one step using diphenylphosphoryl azide. Protecting group manipulations on the hexose sugars have enabled the stereoselective synthesis of either the α-glycosyl azides or the β-anomeric azides in moderate to very good yields. The reaction has also been successfully used to enable the synthesis of β-2-deoxy-2-aminoglucosyl azides.

Abstract
Post-translational glycosylation of proteins results in complex mixtures of heterogeneous protein glycoforms. Glycoproteins have many potential applications from fundamental studies of glycobiology to potential therapeutics, but generating homogeneous recombinant glycoproteins using chemical or chemoenzymatic reactions to mimic natural glycoproteins or creating homogeneous synthetic neoglycoproteins is a challenging synthetic task. In this work, we use a site-specific bioorthogonal approach to produce synthetic homogeneous glycoproteins. We develop a bifunctional, bioorthogonal linker that combines oxime ligation and strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition chemistry to functionalize reducing sugars and glycan derivatives for attachment to proteins. We demonstrate the utility of this minimal length linker by producing neoglycoprotein inhibitors of cholera toxin in which derivatives of the disaccharide lactose and GM1os pentasaccharide are attached to a nonbinding variant of the cholera toxin B-subunit that acts as a size- and valency-matched multivalent scaffold. The resulting neoglycoproteins decorated with GM1 ligands inhibit cholera toxin B-subunit adhesion with a picomolar IC50.

Hyaluronic Acid Oligosaccharide Derivatives Alleviate Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Inflammation in ATDC5 Cells by Multiple Mechanisms. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27175619.

Abstract
High molecular weight hyaluronic acids (HMW-HAs) have been used for the palliative treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) for decades, but the pharmacological activity of HA fragments has not been fully explored due to the limited availability of structurally defined HA fragments. In this study, we synthesized a series glycosides of oligosaccharides of HA (o-HAs), hereinafter collectively referred to as o-HA derivatives. Their effects on OA progression were examined in a chondrocyte inflammatory model established by the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-challenged ATDC5 cells. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assays and reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) showed that o-HA derivatives (≤100 μg/mL) exhibited no cytotoxicity and pro-inflammatory effects. We found that the o-HA and o-HA derivatives alleviated LPS-induced inflammation, apoptosis, autophagy and proliferation-inhibition of ATDC5 cells, similar to the activities of HMW-HAs. Moreover, Western blot analysis showed that different HA derivatives selectively reversed the effects of LPS on the expression of extracellular matrix (ECM)-related proteins (MMP13, COL2A1 and Aggrecan) in ATDC5 cells. Our study suggested that o-HA derivatives may alleviate LPS-induced chondrocyte injury by reducing the inflammatory response, maintaining cell proliferation, inhibiting apoptosis and autophagy, and decreasing ECM degradation, supporting a potential oligosaccharides-mediated therapy for OA.

Abstract
Chemical synthesis is a powerful tool to access homogeneous complex glycans, which relies on protecting group (PG) chemistry. However, the overall efficiency of chemical glycan assembly is still low when compared to oligonucleotide or oligopeptide synthesis. There have been many contributions giving rise to collective improvement in carbohydrate synthesis that includes PG manipulation and stereoselective glycoside formation and some of this chemistry has been transferred to the solid phase or adapted for programmable one pot synthesis approaches. However, after all glycoside bond formation reactions are completed, the global deprotection (GD) required to give the desired target OS can be challenging. Difficulties observed in the removal of permanent PGs to release the desired glycans can be due to the number and diversity of PGs present in the protected OSs, nature and structural complexity of glycans, etc. Here, we have reviewed the difficulties associated with the removal of PGs from densely protected OSs to obtain their free glycans. In particularly, this review focuses on the challenges associated with hydrogenolysis of benzyl groups, saponification of esters and functional group interconversion such as oxidation/reduction that are commonly performed in GD stage. More generally, problems observed in the removal of permanent PGs is reviewed herein, including benzyl, acyl (levulinoyl, acetyl), N-trichloroacetyl, N-2,2,2-trichloroethoxycarbonyl, N-phthaloyl etc. from a number of fully protected OSs to release the free sugar, that have been previously reported in the literature.

Abstract
A protecting-group-free method for synthesis of β-glycosyl esters and aryl β-glycosides was developed by using latent chemical reactivity of N-acetyl-d-glucosamine (GlcNAc) oxazoline. The GlcNAc oxazoline was spontaneously reacted with carboxylic acids and phenol derivatives via the oxazoline ring opening without the use of a catalyst or heating conditions (i.e., microwave irradiation), affording the desired products in moderate to excellent yields with β-selectivity. This simple protecting-group-free method exhibits a wide substrate scope and good functional group tolerance, and it allows the efficient production of a novel class of GlcNAc-conjugated biomaterials and prodrug candidates.

Abstract
Protein glycosylation is a key post-translational modification important to many facets of biology. Glycosylation can have critical effects on protein conformation, uptake and intracellular routing. In immunology, glycosylation of antigens has been shown to play a role in self/non-self distinction and the effective uptake of antigens. Improperly glycosylated proteins and peptide fragments, for instance those produced by cancerous cells, are also prime candidates for vaccine design. To study these processes, access to peptides bearing well-defined glycans is of critical importance. In this review, the key approaches towards synthetic, well-defined glycopeptides, are described, with a focus on peptides useful for and used in immunological studies. Special attention is given to the glycoconjugation approaches that have been developed in recent years, as these enable rapid synthesis of various (unnatural) glycopeptides, enabling powerful carbohydrate structure/activity studies. These techniques, combined with more traditional total synthesis and chemoenzymatic methods for the production of glycopeptides, should help unravel some of the complexities of glycobiology in the near future.

Abstract
A pyridoneimine-catalyzed oxa-Michael addition of protecting groups-free, native mono- and disaccharides with Michael acceptors in aq. solution is reported. Several mono- and disaccharides are reacted with acceptors, namely, methylvinyl ketone, acrylonitrile and tert-butyl acrylate in aq. solution, the addition catalyzed by n-pentylpyridone imine. The addition occurs site-selectively at the anomeric lactol and the remaining hydroxy functionalities are un-affected. The resulting keto-glycopyranoside products are explored in aldol, allylation and oxime product formation, occurring at either α-methyl moiety or at the keto-moiety, with appropriate synthons. In another direction, the keto-glycopyranoside is functionalized further with amino acids through reductive amination in aq. methanol solution. Formation of hemiacetal anion occurs in the presence of pyridoneimine in aq. Solution, enabling subsequent addition to occur with acceptors. Facile reductive amination of the resulting keto-glycoside provides an avenue for conjugations with amino acids in the present work.

Abstract
The functions of natural nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA have transcended genetic information carriers and now encompass affinity reagents, molecular catalysts, nanostructures, data storage, and many others. However, the vulnerability of natural nucleic acids to nuclease degradation and the lack of chemical functionality have imposed a significant constraint on their ever-expanding applications. Herein, we report the synthesis and polymerase recognition of a 5-(octa-1,7-diynyl)uracil 2′-deoxy-2′-fluoroarabinonucleic acid (FANA) triphosphate. The DNA-templated, polymerase-mediated primer extension using this “click handle”-modified FANA (cmFANA) triphosphate and other FANA nucleotide triphosphates consisting of canonical nucleobases efficiently generated full-length products. The resulting cmFANA polymers exhibited excellent nuclease resistance and the ability to undergo efficient click conjugation with azide-functionalized molecules, thereby becoming a promising platform for serving as a programmable and evolvable synthetic genetic polymer capable of post-polymerization functionalization. Polymerase-mediated incorporation of a “click handle”-modified fluoroarabinonucleic acid (cmFANA) triphosphate produces a new class of nuclease-resistant, evolvable genetic polymers that can be functionalized with azide-containing molecules.![]()

Abstract
Unprotected 2-acetamido sugars may be directly converted into their oxazolines using 2-chloro-1,3-dimethylimidazolinium chloride (DMC), and a suitable base, in aqueous solution. Freeze drying and acid catalysed reaction with an alcohol as solvent produces the corresponding 1,2-trans-glycosides in good yield. Alternatively, dissolution in an aprotic solvent system and acidic activation in the presence of an excess of an unprotected glycoside as a glycosyl acceptor, results in the stereoselective formation of the corresponding 1,2-trans linked disaccharides without any protecting group manipulations. Reactions using aryl glycosides as acceptors are completely regioselective, producing only the (1→6)-linked disaccharides.

Abstract
A streamlined iterative assembly of thio-oligosaccharides was developed by aqueous glycosylation. Facile syntheses of various deoxythio sugars with the sulfur on different positions from commercially available starting materials were described. These syntheses featured efficient chemical methods including our recently reported BTM-catalyzed site-selective acylation. The resulting deoxythio sugars could then be used for the Ca(OH)2 -promoted protecting group-free S-glycosylation in water at room temperature. The aqueous glycosylation reaction proceeded smoothly to afford the corresponding 1,2-trans S-glycosides in good yields with high chemo- and stereoselectivity. An appropriate choice of protecting groups for the thiol in the glycosyl donor was necessary for the development of iterative synthesis of thio-oligosaccharides. The aqueous glycosylation was then applied to the synthesis of a trimannoside moiety of N-linked glycans core region.

Abstract
Synthetic polymers with well-defined structures allow the development of nanomaterials with additional functions beyond biopolymers. Herein, we demonstrate de novo design of star-shaped glycoligands to interact with hemagglutinin (HA) using well-defined synthetic polymers with the aim of developing an effective inhibitor for the influenza virus. Prior to the synthesis, the length of the star polymer chains was predicted using the Gaussian model of synthetic polymers, and the degree of polymerization required to achieve multivalent binding to three carbohydrate recognition domains (CRDs) of HA was estimated. The star polymer with the predicted degree of polymerization was synthesized by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization, and 6'-sialyllactose was conjugated as the glycoepitope for HA. The designed glycoligand exhibited the strongest interaction with HA as a result of multivalent binding. This finding demonstrated that the biological function of the synthetic polymer could be controlled by precisely defining the polymer structures.

Abstract
Engineering of carbohydrate-active enzymes such as glycosynthases to enable chemoenzymatic synthesis of bespoke oligosaccharides has been limited by the lack of suitable ultrahigh-throughput screening methods capable of robustly detecting either starting substrates or end-products of the glycosidic bond formation reaction. Currently, there are limited screening methods available for rapid and highly sensitive single-cell-based screening of glycosynthase enzymes employing azido sugars as activated donor glycosyl substrates. Here, we report a fluorescence-based approach employing click-chemistry for the selective detection of glycosyl azides as substrates versus free inorganic azides as reaction products that facilitated an ultrahigh-throughput in vivo single-cell-based assay of glycosynthase activity. This assay was developed based on the distinct differences observed in relative fluorescence intensity of the triazole-containing fluorophore product formed during the click-chemistry reaction of organic glycosyl azides versus inorganic azides. This discovery formed the basis for proof of concept validation of a directed evolution methodology for screening and sorting glycosynthase mutants capable of synthesis of targeted fucosylated oligosaccharides. Our screening approach facilitated fluorescence-activated cell sorting of an error-prone polymerase chain reaction-based mutant library of fucosynthases expressed in Escherichia coli to identify several novel mutants that showed increased activity for β-fucosyl azide-activated donor sugars toward desired acceptor sugars (e.g., pNP-xylose and lactose). Finally, we discuss avenues for improving this proof of concept in vivo assay method to identify better glycosynthase mutants and further demonstrate the broader applicability of this screening methodology for synthesis of bespoke glycans.

Abstract
Conjugation of unprotected carbohydrates to surfaces or probes by chemoselective ligation reactions is indispensable for the elucidation of their numerous biological functions. In particular, the reaction with oxyamines leading to the formation of carbohydrate oximes which are in equilibrium with cyclic N-glycosides (oxyamine ligation) has an enormous impact in the field. Although highly chemoselective, the reaction is rather slow. Here, we report that the oxyamine ligation is significantly accelerated without the need for a catalyst when starting with glycosyl amines. Reaction rates are increased up to 500-fold compared to the reaction of the reducing carbohydrate. For comparison, aniline-catalyzed oxyamine ligation is only increased 3.8-fold under the same conditions. Glycosyl amines from mono- and oligosaccharides are easily accessible from reducing carbohydrates via the corresponding azides by using Shoda's reagent (2-chloro-1,3-dimethylimidazolinium chloride, DMC) and subsequent reduction. Furthermore, glycosyl amines are readily obtained by enzymatic release from N-glycoproteins making the method suited for glycomic analysis of these glycoconjugates which we demonstrate employing RNase B. Oxyamine ligation of glycosyl amines can be carried out at close to neutral conditions which makes the procedure especially valuable for acid-sensitive oligosaccharides. A new method for carbohydrate-oxyamine ligation starting from glycosyl amines 1 instead of the commonly used reducing sugars 2 results in tremendously increased ligation rates without the need for a catalyst, such as aniline.![]()

Abstract
Rapid diagnosis and vaccine development are critical to prevent the threat posed by viruses. However, rapid tests, such as colloidal gold assays, yield false-negative results due to the low quantities of viruses; moreover, conventional virus purification, including ultracentrifugation and nanofiltration, is multistep and time-consuming, which limits laboratory research and commercial development of viral vaccines. A rapid virus enrichment and purification technique will improve clinical diagnosis sensitivity and simplify vaccine production. Hence, we developed the surface-glycosylated microbeads (glycobeads) featuring chemically synthetic glycoclusters and reversible linkers to selectively capture the influenza virus. The surface plasmon resonance (SPR) evaluation indicated broad spectrum affinity of S-linked glycosides to various influenza viruses. The magnetic glycobeads were integrated into clinical rapid diagnosis, leading to a 30-fold lower limit of detection. Additionally, the captured viruses can be released under physiological conditions, delivering purified viruses with >50% recovery and without decreasing their native infectivity. Notably, this glycobead platform will facilitate the sensitive detection and continuous one-step purification of the target virus that contributes to future vaccine production.

Abstract
A variety of C-glycosides can be obtained from the fluoroarylborane (B(C6F5)3) or silylium (R3Si+) catalyzed functionalization of 1-MeO- and per-TMS-sugars with TMS-X reagents. A one-step functionalization with a change as simple as the addition order and/or Lewis acid and TMS-X enables one to afford chiral synthons that are common (C-pyranosides), have few viable synthetic methods (C-furanosides), or are virtually unknown (anhydro-C-pyranosides), which mechanistically arise from whether a direct substitution, isomerization/substitution, or substitution/isomerization occurs, respectively.

Abstract
High amounts of glycosaminoglycans (GAG) such as hyaluronan (HA) occur in connective tissues. There is nowadays increasing evidence that a "sulfation code" exists which mediates numerous GAG functions. High molecular weight and inhomogeneity of GAG, however, aggravated detailed studies. Thus, synthetic oligosaccharides were urgently required. We will review here chemoenzymatic and analytic strategies to provide defined sulfated and anomerically modified GAG oligosaccharides of the HA type. Representative studies of protein/GAG interactions by (bio)chemical and biophysical methods are reported yielding novel insights into GAG-protein binding. Finally, the biological conclusions and in vivo applications of defined sulfated GAG oligosaccharides will be discussed.

Abstract
Molecular mobility is important for interactions of biofunctional polymers with target molecules. Monomer structures for synthetic biofunctional polymers are usually selected based on their compatibility with polymerization systems, whereas the influence of monomer structures on the interaction with target molecules is hardly considered. In this report, we evaluate the correlation between the monomer structures of glycopolymers and their interactions with concanavalin A (ConA) with respect to the molecular mobility. Two types of glycopolymers bearing mannose are synthesized with acrylamide or acrylate monomers. Despite the similar structures, except for amide or ester bonds in the side chains, the acrylate-type glycopolymers exhibit stronger interaction with ConA both in the isothermal titration calorimetry measurement and in a hemagglutination inhibition assay. Characterization of the acrylate-type glycopolymers suggests that the higher binding constant arises from the higher molecular mobility of mannose units, which results from the rotational freedom of ester bonds in their side chains.

Abstract
Biological drugs, specifically proteins and peptides, are a privileged class of medicinal agents and are characterized with high specificity and high potency of therapeutic activity. However, biologics are fragile and require special care during storage, and are often modified to optimize their pharmacokinetics in terms of proteolytic stability and blood residence half-life. In this review, we showcase glycosylation as a method to optimize biologics for storage and application. Specifically, we focus on chemical glycosylation as an approach to modify biological drugs. We present case studies that illustrate the success of this methodology and specifically address the highly important question: does connectivity within the glycoconjugate have to be native or not? We then present the innovative methods of chemical glycosylation of biologics and specifically highlight the emerging and established protecting group-free methodologies of glycosylation. We discuss thermodynamic origins of protein stabilization via glycosylation, and analyze in detail stabilization in terms of proteolytic stability, aggregation upon storage and/or heat treatment. Finally, we present a case study of protein modification using sialic acid-containing glycans to avoid hepatic clearance of biological drugs. This review aims to spur interest in chemical glycosylation as a facile, powerful tool to optimize proteins and peptides as medicinal agents.

Abstract
Polymer-stabilized complex coacervate microdroplets have emerged as a robust platform for synthetic cell research. Their unique core-shell properties enable the sequestration of high concentrations of biologically relevant macromolecules and their subsequent release through the semipermeable membrane. These unique properties render the synthetic cell platform highly suitable for a range of biomedical applications, as long as its biocompatibility upon interaction with biological cells is ensured. The purpose of this study is to investigate how the structure and formulation of these coacervate-based synthetic cells impact the viability of several different cell lines. Through careful examination of the individual synthetic cell components, it became evident that the presence of free polycation and membrane-forming polymer had to be prevented to ensure cell viability. After closely examining the structure-toxicity relationship, a set of conditions could be found whereby no detrimental effects were observed, when the artificial cells were cocultured with RAW264.7 cells. This opens up a range of possibilities to use this modular system for biomedical applications and creates design rules for the next generation of coacervate-based, biomedically relevant particles.

Abstract
2-Chloro-1,3-dimethylimidazolinium chloride (DMC, herein also referred to as Shoda's reagent) and its derivatives are useful for numerous synthetic transformations in which the anomeric centre of unprotected reducing sugars is selectively activated in aqueous solution. As such unprotected sugars can undergo anomeric substitution with a range of added nucleophiles, providing highly efficient routes to a range of glycosides and glycoconjugates without the need for traditional protecting group manipulations. This mini-review summarizes the development of DMC and some of its derivatives/analogues, and highlights recent applications for protecting group-free synthesis.

Abstract
Glycomaterials display enhanced binding affinity to carbohydrate-binding proteins due to the nonlinear enhancement associated with the cluster glycoside effect. Gold nanoparticles bearing glycans have attracted significant interest in particular. This is due to their versatility, their highly tunable gold cores (size and shape), and their application in biosensors and diagnostic tools. However, conjugating glycans onto these materials can be challenging, necessitating either multiple protecting group manipulations or the use of only simple glycans. This results in limited structural diversity compared to glycoarrays which can include hundreds of glycans. Here we report a method to generate glyconanoparticles from unprotected glycans by conjugation to polymer tethers bearing terminal amino-oxy groups, which are then immobilized onto gold nanoparticles. Using an isotope-labeled glycan, the efficiency of this reaction was probed in detail to confirm conjugation, with 25% of end-groups being functionalized, predominantly in the ring-closed form. Facile post-glycosylation purification is achieved by simple centrifugation/washing cycles to remove excess glycan and polymer. This streamlined synthetic approach may be particularly useful for the preparation of glyconanoparticle libraries using automation, to identify hits to be taken forward using more conventional synthetic methods. Exemplar lectin-binding studies were undertaken to confirm the availability of the glycans for binding and show this is a powerful tool for rapid assessment of multivalent glycan binding.

Abstract
Carbohydrates, one of the three primary macromolecules of living organisms, play significant roles in various biological processes such as intercellular communication, cell recognition, and immune activity. While the majority of established methods for the installation of carbohydrates through the anomeric carbon rely on nucleophilic displacement, anomeric radicals represent an attractive alternative because of their functional group compatibility and high anomeric selectivities. Herein, we demonstrate that anomeric nucleophiles such as C1 stannanes can be converted into anomeric radicals by merging Cu(I) catalysis with blue light irradiation to achieve highly stereoselective C(sp3)-S cross-coupling reactions. Mechanistic studies and DFT calculations revealed that the C-S bond-forming step occurs via the transfer of the anomeric radical directly to a sulfur electrophile bound to Cu(II) species. This pathway complements a radical chain observed for photochemical metal-free conditions where a disulfide initiator can be activated by a Lewis base additive. Both strategies utilize anomeric nucleophiles as efficient radical donors and achieve a switch from an ionic to a radical pathway. Taken together, the stability of glycosyl nucleophiles, a broad substrate scope, and high anomeric selectivities observed for the thermal and photochemical protocols make this novel C-S cross coupling a practical tool for late-stage glycodiversification of bioactive natural products and drug candidates.

Abstract
Fucosylated chondroitin sulfate (fCS) is a glycosaminoglycan (GAG) polysaccharide with a unique structure, displaying a backbone composed of alternating N-acetyl-d-galactosamine (GalNAc) and d-glucuronic acid (GlcA) units on which l-fucose (Fuc) branches are installed. fCS shows several potential biomedical applications, with the anticoagulant activity standing as the most promising and widely investigated one. Natural fCS polysaccharides extracted from marine organisms (Echinoidea, Holothuroidea) present some advantages over a largely employed antithrombotic drug such as heparin, but some adverse effects as well as a frequently found structural heterogeneity hamper its development as a new drug. To circumvent these drawbacks, several efforts have been made in the last decade to obtain synthetic and semi-synthetic fCS oligosaccharides and low molecular weight polysaccharides. In this Review we have for the first time collected these reports together, dividing them in two topics: (i) total syntheses of fCS oligosaccharides and (ii) semi-synthetic approaches to fCS oligosaccharides and low molecular weight polysaccharides as well as glycoclusters displaying multiple copies of fCS species.

Abstract
Crude glycerol (C3H8O3) is a major by-product of biodiesel production from vegetable oils and animal fats. The increased biodiesel production in the last two decades has forced glycerol production up and prices down. However, crude glycerol from biodiesel production is not of adequate purity for industrial uses, including food, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. The purification process of crude glycerol to reach the quality standards required by industry is expensive and dificult. Novel uses for crude glycerol can reduce the price of biodiesel and make it an economical alternative to diesel. Moreover, novel uses may improve environmental impact, since crude glycerol disposal is expensive and dificult. Glycerol is a versatile molecule with many potential applications in fermentation processes and synthetic chemistry. It serves as a glucose substitute in microbial growth media and as a precursor in the synthesis of a number of commercial intermediates or fine chemicals. Chlorinated derivatives of glycerol are an important class of such chemicals. The main focus of this review is the conversion of glycerol to chlorinated derivatives, such as epichlorohydrin and chlorohydrins, and their further use in the synthesis of additional downstream products. Downstream products include non-cyclic compounds with allyl, nitrile, azide and other functional groups, as well as oxazolidinones and triazoles, which are cyclic compounds derived from ephichlorohydrin and chlorohydrins. The polymers and ionic liquids, which use glycerol as an initial building block, are highlighted, as well.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive polymers have attracted significant interest in the fields of advanced materials and biomaterials. Herein, temperature- and pH-responsive glycopolymers, which are composed of N-isopropylacrylamide, methacrylic acid, and an acrylamide derivative bearing a lactose moiety, were synthesized via radical copolymerization. The series of resulting glycopolymers had different degrees of substitution of the lactose moieties, were responsive to temperatures between 26.6 °C and 47.6 °C, and formed aggregates above the lower critical solution temperature limit in mild acidic aqueous media (pH 4-6). The temperature-responsive behavior was dependent on the prevailing pH conditions, as no aggregation was observed in neutral and basic aqueous media (pH > 7). The aggregates had saccharide moieties on the surface in aqueous media. The number of saccharide moieties on the surface depended on the saccharide-containing unit ratio in the glycopolymer. The ratio was determined via enzymatic hydrolysis of the lactose moieties using β-galactosidase and the subsequent detection of the released galactose.

Abstract
The biological activity of the glycoprotein hormone erythropoietin (EPO) is dependent mainly on the structure of its N-linked glycans. We aimed to readily attach defined N-glycans to EPO through copper-catalyzed azide alkyne cycloaddition. EPO variants with an alkyne-bearing non-natural amino acid (Plk) at the N-glycosylation sites 24, 38, and 83 were obtained by amber suppression followed by protein purification and refolding. Click conjugation of the alkynyl EPOs with biantennary N-glycan azides provided biologically active site-specifically modified EPO glycoconjugates.
