Abstract
Fungi have provided intriguing chemical diversity and have additionally proven to
be a tremendous source for a great variety of therapeutic molecules. Various fungal glycosides
have been reported from fungi and the majority of these metabolites possess cytotoxic and
antimicrobial effects. Although natural products are obtained in most cases in small amounts
from the specific natural source, total syntheses of these valuable commodities remain one of
the most important ways of obtaining them on a large scale for more detailed and comprehensive
biological studies. In addition, the total synthesis of secondary metabolites is a useful
tool, not only for the disclosure of novel complex pharmacologically active molecules but also
for the establishment of cutting-edge methodologies in synthetic chemistry. Numerous fungal
glycosides have been synthesized in the last four decades regarding the following natural
product classes viz., tetramic acid glycosides (epicoccamides A and D), polyketide glycosides (TMC-151C), 2-pyrone
glycosides (epipyrone A), diterpene glycosides (sordarin), depside glycosides (CRM646-A and –B, KS-501 and KS-
502), caloporosides (caloporoside A), glycolipids (emmyguyacins A and B, acremomannolipin A), and cerebrosides
(cerebroside B, Asperamide B, phalluside-1, Sch II). The current literature review about fungal glycoside synthetic
studies is, therefore, of interest for a wide range of scientists and researchers in the field of organic, natural product,
and medicinal chemists as it outlines key strategies of fungal glycosides and, in particular, glycosylation, the known
biological and pharmacological effects of these natural compounds have afforded a new dimension of exposure.

Abstract
BACKGROUD Fusaruside is an immunomodulatory fungal sphingolipid which has medical potentials for treating colitis and liver injury, but its poor natural abundance limits its further study. RESULTS In this study, we described a synthetic biology approach for fusaruside production by engineered Pichia pastoris that was based on polycistronic expression. Two fusaruside biosynthesis genes (Δ3(E)-sd and Δ10(E)-sd), were introduced into P. pastoris to obtain fusaruside producing strain FUS2. To further enhance the yield of fusaruside, three relevant biosynthetic genes (Δ3(E)-sd, Δ10(E)-sd and gcs) were subsequently introduced into P. pastoris to obtain FUS3. All of the biosynthetic genes were successfully co-expressed in FUS2 and FUS3. Compared to that produced by FUS2, fusaruside achieved from FUS3 were slightly increased. In addition, the culture conditions including pH, temperature and methanol concentration were optimized to improve the fusaruside production level. CONCLUSIONS Here a novel P. pastoris fusaruside production system was developed by introducing the biosynthetic genes linked by 2A peptide gene sequences into a polycistronic expression construct, laying a foundation for further development and application of fusaruside.

Abstract
Glycolipids represent a broad class of natural products structurally featured by a glycosidic fragment linked to a lipidic molecule. Despite the large structural variety of these glycoconjugates, they can be classified into three main groups, i.e., glycosphingolipids, glycoglycerolipids, and atypical glycolipids. In the particular case of glycolipids derived from marine sources, an impressive variety in their structural features and biological properties is observed, thus making them prime targets for chemical synthesis. In the present review, we explore the chemistry and biology of this class of compounds.

Abstract
Chrysogeside B, a natural cerebroside, was efficiently synthesized from commercial feedstocks. The bioassays showed that compounds 4, 5 and 6 exhibited enhanced biological activities compared Chrysogeside B. Further studies revealed that free hydroxyl groups and glycosidic bond have significant impact on the antimicrobial activities. The synthesis of Chrysogeside B and analogues designed to allow identification of the features of this glycolipid required for recognition by tested bacteria and Hela cells is described.

Abstract
Sphingolipids are biologically important and structurally distinct cell membrane components. Fusaruside (1) is a 10,11-unsaturated immunosuppressive fungal sphingolipid with medical potentials for treating liver injury and colitis, but its poor natural abundance bottlenecks its druggability. Here, fusaruside is clarified biosynthetically, and its efficacy-related 10,11-double bond can be generated under the regioselective catalysis of an unprecedented Δ10(E)-sphingolipid desaturase (Δ10(E)-SD). Δ10(E)-SD shares 17.7% amino acid sequence similarity with a C9-unmethylated Δ10-sphingolipid desaturase derived from a marine diatom, and 55.7% with Δ8(E)-SD from Fusarium graminearum. Heterologous expression of Δ10(E)-SD in Pichia pastoris has been established to facilitate a reliable generation of 1 through the Δ10(E)-SD catalyzed desaturation of cerebroside B (2), an abundant fungal sphingolipid. Site directed mutageneses show that the conserved histidines of Δ10(E)-SD are essential for the 10,11-desaturation catalysis, which is also preconditioned by the C9-methylation of the substrate. Moreover, Δ10(E)-SD confers improved survival and faster growth to fungal strains at low temperature and high salinity, in parallel with to higher contents of 1 in the mycelia. Collectively, the investigation describes a new Δ10(E)-sphingolipid desaturase with its heterologous expression fundamentalizing a biotechnological supply of 1, and eases the follow-up clarification of the immunosuppression and stress-tolerance mechanism.

Practical multigram-scale synthesis of 4,6- and 4,8-sphingadienes, chemopreventive sphingoid bases. Chem Phys Lipids 2012; 165:794-801. [PMID: 23085149 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemphyslip.2012.10.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2012] [Revised: 09/18/2012] [Accepted: 10/08/2012] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
Sphingadienes are chemopreventive agents that act by blocking signaling pathways that are activated in cancer. A practical synthesis of 4,6- and 4,8-sphingadienes on a scale of gram quantities is reported here in order to allow evaluation of the biological properties of these sphingolipids. The key steps in the preparation of 4,6-sphingadiene (1a) are an intramolecular cyclization of N-Boc derivative 5a to oxazolidinone derivative 6a, followed by conversion to carbamate intermediate 7a and base-mediated hydrolysis to afford the product without further purification. 4,8-Sphingadiene (1b) was prepared in a similar fashion; the requisite trans-γ,δ-unsaturated aldehyde 15 was prepared by an ester enolate Ireland-Claisen rearrangement.

Cytotoxicity on human cancer cells of ophidiacerebrosides isolated from the African starfish Narcissia canariensis. Mar Drugs 2010; 8:2988-98.

Abstract
The starfish Narcissia canariensis harvested from the coasts off Dakar, Senegal, was investigated for glycolipids (GL). This report deals with the isolation, characterization and biological activity of a fraction F13-3 separated from the GL mixture and selected according to its ability to inhibit KB cell proliferation after 72 hours of treatment. Firstly, a GL mixture F13 was obtained that accounted for 1.36% of starfish biomass (dry weight) and 0.36% of total lipids. The fraction F13-3 obtained from F13 contained three homologous GL identified as peracetylated derivatives on the basis of chemical and spectroscopic evidence. These contained a β-glucopyranoside as sugar head, a 9-methyl-branched 4,8,10-triunsaturated long-chain aminoalcohol as sphingoid base and amide-linked 2-hydroxy fatty acid chains. The majority (63%) had an amide-linked 2-hydroxydocosanoic acid chain and was identified as the ophidiacerebroside-C, firstly isolated from the starfish Ophidiaster ophidiamus. The minor components of F13-3 differed by one more or one less methylene group, and corresponded to ophidiacerebroside-B and -D. We found that F13-3 displayed an interesting cytotoxic activity over 24 hours on various adherent human cancerous cell lines (multiple myeloma, colorectal adenocarcinoma and glioblastoma multiforme) with an IC50 of around 20 μM.
