Abstract
Glycoamphiphiles have attracted considerable interest in a broad range of application fields owing to their solution and bulk-state self-assembly abilities. Despite their importance, the straightforward synthesis of glycoamphiphiles consisting of a hydrophilic carbohydrate linked to a hydrophobic aglycone remains one of the major challenges in glycosciences. Here, a rapid, simple, and efficient synthetic access to chemically stable glycoamphiphiles at physiological pH, namely, N-(β-d-glycosyl)-2-alkylbenzamide, is reported. It leverages the nonreductive amination of unprotected carbohydrates with ortho-substituted aniline derivatives which could be readily obtained by reacting commercially available primary alkylamines with isatoic anhydride. This strategy avoids protection and deprotection of sugar hydroxyl groups and the use of reductive agents, which makes it advantageous in terms of atom and step economy. Moreover, in order to circumvent the cons of classical N-aryl glycosylation, we investigate the use of microwave as a heat source that provides fast, clean, and high-yield β-N-arylation of unprotected carbohydrates. Their self-assembly into water led to multiple morphologies of dynamic supramolecular glycoamphiphiles that were characterized to assess their ability to bind to lectins from pathogenic bacteria. Biophysical interactions probed by isothermal titration microcalorimetry revealed micromolar affinities for most of the synthesized glycoamphiphiles.

Abstract
Cycloxaprid, a new neonicotinoid pesticide, poses ecological risks, particularly in aquatic environments, due to its unique action and environmental dispersal. This study investigated the ecotoxicological effects of various concentrations of cycloxaprid on Penaeus vannamei over 28 days. High cycloxaprid levels significantly altered shrimp physiology, as shown by changes in the hepatosomatic index and fattening. Indicators of oxidative stress, such as increased serum hemocyanin, respiratory burst, and nitric oxide, as well as decreased phenol oxidase activity, were observed. Additionally, elevated activities of lactate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, and isocitrate dehydrogenase indicated disrupted energy metabolism in the hepatopancreas. Notably, analyses of the nervous system revealed marked disturbances in neural signaling, as evidenced by elevated acetylcholine, octopamine, and acetylcholinesterase levels. Transcriptomic analysis highlighted significant effects on gene expression and metabolic processes in the hepatopancreas and nervous system. This study demonstrated that cycloxaprid disrupts neural signaling and oxidative balance in P. vannamei, potentially affecting its growth, and provides key insights into its biochemical and transcriptomic toxicity in aquatic systems.

Stereoconvergent and Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of Tumor-Associated Glycolipid Disialosyl Globopentaosylceramide for Probing the Binding Affinity of Siglec-7. ACS CENTRAL SCIENCE 2024; 10:417-425. [PMID: 38435515 PMCID: PMC10906248 DOI: 10.1021/acscentsci.3c01170] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2023] [Revised: 01/08/2024] [Accepted: 01/08/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024]
Abstract
Disialosyl globopentaosylceramide (DSGb5) is a tumor-associated complex glycosphingolipid. However, the accessibility of structurally well-defined DSGb5 for precise biological functional studies remains challenging. Herein, we describe the first total synthesis of DSGb5 glycolipid by an efficient chemoenzymatic approach. A Gb5 pentasaccharide-sphingosine was chemically synthesized by a convergent and stereocontrolled [2 + 3] method using an oxazoline disaccharide donor to exclusively form β-anomeric linkage. After investigating the substrate specificity of different sialyltransferases, regio- and stereoselective installment of two sialic acids was achieved by two sequential enzyme-catalyzed reactions using α2,3-sialyltransferase Cst-I and α2,6-sialyltransferase ST6GalNAc5. A unique aspect of the approach is that methyl-β-cyclodextrin-assisted enzymatic α2,6-sialylation of glycolipid substrate enables installment of the challenging internal α2,6-linked sialoside to synthesize DSGb5 glycosphingolipid. Surface plasmon resonance studies indicate that DSGb5 glycolipid exhibits better binding affinity for Siglec-7 than the oligosaccharide moiety of DSGb5. The binding results suggest that the ceramide moiety of DSGb5 facilitates its binding by presenting multivalent interactions of glycan epitope for the recognition of Siglec-7.

Abstract
Lectin Con A, with specificity to interact with α-d-mannopyranoside, achieves tight binding affinity with the aid of optimal multivalent ligand valencies, distances and orientations between the ligands. A series of synthetic arabinomannans, possessing arabinan core and mannan at the non-reducing ends, is studied to assess the above constraints involved with lectin binding in this report. Trisaccharides, with (1 → 2)(1 → 3), (1 → 2)(1 → 5) and (1 → 3)(1 → 5) glycosidic bond connectivities, and a pentasaccharide with mannopyranosides at the non-reducing ends are synthesized. The binding affinities of the mannose bivalent ligands are studied with tetrameric Con A lectin by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). Among the derivatives, trisaccharide with (1 → 2)(1 → 3) glycosidic bond connectivity and the pentasaccharide undergo lectin interaction, clearly fulfilling the bivalent structural and functional valencies. Remaining oligosaccharides exhibit only a functional monovalency, defying the bivalent structural valency. The trisaccharide fulfilling the structural and functional valencies represent the smallest bivalent ligand, undergoing the lectin interaction in a trans-mode.

Abstract
Carbohydrates are intriguing biomolecules possessing diverse biological activities, including immune stimulating capability. However, their biomedical applications have been limited by their complex and heterogeneous structures. In this study, we have utilized a self-assembling glycopeptide conjugate (GPC) system to produce uniform nanoribbons appending homogeneous oligosaccharides with multivalency. This system successfully translates the nontrivial structural differences of oligomannoses into varied binding affinities to C-type lectin receptors (CLRs). We have shown that GPCs could promote the CLR-mediated endocytosis of ovalbumin (OVA) antigen, and two mannotriose-modified peptides F3m2 and F3m5 exhibit potent activity in inducing antigen-presenting cell maturation, as indicated by increased CD86 and MHCII expression. In vivo studies demonstrated that GPCs, combined with OVA antigen, significantly enhanced OVA-specific antibody production. Specifically, F3m2 and F3m5 exhibited the highest immunostimulatory effects, eliciting both Th1- and Th2-biased immune responses and promoting differentiation of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. These findings highlight the potential of GPCs as vaccine adjuvants, and showcase their versatility in exploiting the biological functions of carbohydrates.

Abstract
Naturally occurring glycans are often found in a multivalent presentation. Cell surface receptors that recognize these displays may form clusters, which can lead to signalling or endocytosis. One of the challenges in generating synthetic displays of multivalent carbohydrates is providing high valency as well as access to heterofunctional conjugates to allow attachment of multiple antigens or payloads. We designed a strategy based on a set of bifunctional linkers to generate a heterobifunctional multivalent display of two carbohydrate antigens to bind BCR and CD22 with four and twelve antigen copies, respectively. We confirmed that the conjugates were able to engage both CD22 and BCR on cells by observing receptor clustering. The strategy is modular and would allow for alternative carbohydrate antigens to be attached bearing amine and alkyne groups and should be of interest for the development of immunomodulators and vaccines.

Abstract
Although advances have been made in carbohydrate-based macromolecular self-assembly, harnessing epimers of carbohydrates to perform molecular assembly and further investigating the properties of supramolecular materials remain little explored. Herein, two classes of stereoisomeric glycolipid amphiphiles based on d-N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) are reported, and they can aggregate into ribbon-like structures in the aqueous solution due to amphiphilic property, which allow to obtain glycocalyx-mimicking supramolecular materials. The subtle distinction in glycoside configuration of GalNAc-α-SSA and GalNAc-β-SSA dictates the different molecular packing in self-assembled structures. Since driven by the distinguishing carbohydrate-carbohydrate interactions, the ribbon-like architectures transform into spherical nanostructures via mixing GalNAc-α-SSA and GalNAc-β-SSA. The resulting spherical micelles fabricated by blending glycolipid epimers can potentiate the macrophage- and dendritic cell-mediated immune responses in vitro. Such glycolipid epimers will pave the way to create glycocalyx-mimicking immune modulators by incorporating stereochemistry into supramolecular self-assembly.

Abstract
Carbohydrate-protein interactions (CPIs) play a crucial role in the regulation of various physiological and pathological processes within living systems. However, these interactions are typically weak, prompting the development of multivalent probes, including nanoparticles and polymer scaffolds, to enhance the avidity of CPIs. Additionally, the morphologies of glyco-nanostructures can significantly impact protein binding, bacterial adhesion, cellular internalization, and immune responses. In this review, we have examined the advancements in glyco-nanostructures of different shapes that modulate CPIs. We specifically emphasize glyco-nanostructures constructed from small-molecule amphiphilic carbohydrates, block copolymers, metal-based nanoparticles, and carbon-based materials, highlighting their potential applications in glycobiology.

Abstract
All activities of our daily life, of the nature surrounding us and of the entire society and its complex economic and political systems are affected by stimuli. Therefore, understanding stimuli-responsive principles in nature, biology, society, and in complex synthetic systems is fundamental to natural and life sciences. This invited Perspective attempts to organize, to the best of our knowledge, for the first time the stimuli-responsive principles of supramolecular organizations emerging from self-assembling and self-organizable dendrons, dendrimers, and dendronized polymers. Definitions of stimulus and stimuli from different fields of science are first discussed. Subsequently, we decided that supramolecular organizations of self-assembling and self-organizable dendrons, dendrimers, and dendronized polymers may fit best in the definition of stimuli from biology. After a brief historical introduction to the discovery and development of conventional and self-assembling and self-organizable dendrons, dendrimers, and dendronized polymers, a classification of stimuli-responsible principles as internal- and external-stimuli was made. Due to the enormous amount of literature on conventional dendrons, dendrimers, and dendronized polymers as well as on their self-assembling and self-organizable systems we decided to discuss stimuli-responsive principles only with examples from our laboratory. We apologize to all contributors to dendrimers and to the readers of this Perspective for this space-limited decision. Even after this decision, restrictions to a limited number of examples were required. In spite of this, we expect that this Perspective will provide a new way of thinking about stimuli in all fields of self-organized complex soft matter.

Abstract
In 2022, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Bertozzi, Meldal, and Sharpless "for the development of click chemistry and biorthogonal chemistry". Since 2001, when the concept of click chemistry was advanced by Sharpless laboratory, synthetic chemists started to envision click reactions as the preferred choice of synthetic methodology employed to create new functions. This brief perspective will summarize research performed in our laboratories with the classic Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne click (CuAAC) reaction elaborated by Meldal and Sharpless, with the thio-bromo click (TBC) and with the less-used, irreversible TERminator Multifunctional INItiator (TERMINI) dual click (TBC) reactions, the last two elaborated in our laboratory. These click reactions will be used to assemble, by accelerated modular-orthogonal methodologies, complex macromolecules and self-organizations of biological relevance. Self-assembling amphiphilic Janus dendrimers and Janus glycodendrimers together with their biological membrane mimics known as dendrimersomes and glycodendrimersomes as well as simple methodologies to assemble macromolecules with perfect and complex architecture such as dendrimers from commercial monomers and building blocks will be discussed. This perspective is dedicated to the 75th anniversary of Professor Bogdan C. Simionescu, the son of my (VP) Ph.D. mentor, Professor Cristofor I. Simionescu, who as his father, took both science and science administration in his hands, and dedicated his life to handling them in a tandem way, to their best.

Abstract
A lot of attention has been focused on the functionalization of carbohydrate ligands on specific sizes and shapes of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), where ultrasmall fluorescent AuNPs have not been well explored for direct imaging. Herein, we have engineered fluorescent gold nanoclusters with sulfated oligo-iduronic acid ligands (I34), which strongly bind to the HB-EGF receptor over FGF2, and regulate EGF receptor-mediated cancer cell homing in both two- and three-dimensional (2D and 3D) cell culture systems. These results offer a new practical and direct imaging tool for carbohydrate research.

Abstract
Human lectins are involved in a wide variety of biological processes, both physiological and pathological, which have attracted the interest of the scientific community working in the glycoscience field. Multivalent glycosystems have been employed as useful tools to understand carbohydrate-lectin binding processes as well as for biomedical applications. The review shows the different scaffolds designed for a multivalent presentation of sugars and their corresponding binding studies to lectins and in some cases, their biological activities. We summarise this research by organizing based on lectin types to highlight the progression in this active field.

Multicomponent reaction derived small di- and tri-carbohydrate-based glycomimetics as tools for probing lectin specificity. Glycoconj J 2022; 39:587-597.

Abstract
Lectins, carbohydrate-binding proteins, play important functions in all forms of life from bacteria and viruses to plants, animals, and humans, participating in cell-cell communication and pathogen binding. In an attempt to modify lectin functions, artificial lectin ligands were made usually as big dendrimeric or cluster multivalent glycomimetic structures. Here we synthesized a novel set of glycomimetic ligands through protection/deprotection multicomponent reactions (MCR) approach. Multivalent di-and tri-carbohydrate glycomimetics containing D-fructose, D-galactose, and D-allose moieties were prepared in 63-96% yield. MCR glycomimetics demonstrated different binding abilities for plant lectins Con A and UEA I, and human galectin-3. Information gained about the influence of molecule structure, multivalency and optical purity on the lectin binding ability can be used in lectin detection and sensitivity measurements to further facilitate understanding of carbohydrate recognition process.

Abstract
Multivitamin-loaded and surface-modified liposomes tailored for simultaneous intestinal delivery of both lipophilic and hydrophilic bioactives were synthesized from sunflower phosphatidylcholine (SFPC). Liposomes (SL) were generated with the aid of a novel, organic solvent free, and environmentally benign process which utilizes venturi-based rapid expansion of supercritical solution (Vent-RESS). Vitamins E and C were used as model lipophilic and hydrophilic bioactives and demonstrated an average encapsulation efficiency of 92 and 70 %, respectively. Synthesized liposomes were coated with a pH-responsive double-wall of chitosan and β-lactoglobulin (βlg-Cs-SL) to develop a biocompatible vehicle for pH-triggered delivery of bioactive cargo(s). To compare the efficacy of this newly developed dual-coating, SL was also coated with a commercially available pH responsive polymer, Eudragit® S100 (Eu-SL). No organic solvent was used during the surface coating of SLs with these two different types of enteric coatings. The performance of these two coatings was studied by conducting morphological characterization through diameter and ζ-potential measurements along with confocal laser scanning and freeze-fracture cryogenic scanning electron microscopies. The stability of coated and uncoated SFPC liposomes was determined in simulated gastrointestinal fluids. For βlg-Cs-SL and Eu-SL, after 2 h of incubation in simulated gastric condition, less than 5 % of the encapsulated vitamins C and E were released, whereas for SL, 41 and 28 % of vitamins C and E were released within 2 h of incubation period. In simulated intestinal fluid, coated liposomes released most of their remaining payload when incubated for 4 h. The newly developed dual coating was found to be as effective as its commercially available counterpart, Eudragit® S100 coating; nevertheless, the biocompatible, non-toxic, and non-synthetic nature of this coating makes it an attractive alternative. Modeling the release kinetics of vitamins from coated liposome showed that the release of payload from surface coated liposomes proceeded through a multistep structural disintegration involving both Fickian and non-Fickian types of diffusion. The ability of these surface-coated liposomes to maintain structural integrity under the gastric condition followed by site-specific, pH-triggered release of encapsulated cargo in the intestine will make them highly suitable for oral administration of bioactive compounds in pharmaceutical and food applications.

Abstract
Carbohydrates on cell surfaces are known to interact not only with lectins but also with other carbohydrates; the latter process is known as a carbohydrate-carbohydrate interaction. Such interactions are observed in complex oligosaccharides. It would be surprising if these interactions were observed in simple monosaccharides of mannose. In this study, the interaction between glycopolymers carrying monosaccharides of mannose was quantitatively investigated by quartz crystal microbalance measurements. We measured the interactions with glycopolymers carrying mannose, galactose and glucose. Surprisingly, the interaction between the glycopolymers and mannose was much stronger than that between other saccharides.

Abstract
Carbohydrates bearing a distinct complexity use a special code (Glycocode) to communicate with carbohydrate-binding proteins at a high precision to manipulate biological activities in complex biological environments. The level of complexity in carbohydrate-containing macromolecules controls the amount and specificity of information that can be stored in biomacromolecules. Therefore, a better understanding of the glycocode is crucial to open new areas of biomedical applications by controlling or manipulating the interaction between immune cells and pathogens in terms of trafficking and signaling, which would become a powerful tool to prevent infectious diseases. Even though a certain level of progress has been achieved over the past decade, synthetic glycomacromolecules are still lagging far behind naturally existing glycans in terms of complexity and precision because of insufficient and inefficient synthetic techniques. Currently, specific targeting at a cellular level using synthetic glycomacromolecules is still challenging. It is obvious that multidisciplinary collaborations are essential between different specialized disciplines to enhance the carbohydrate receptor-targeting paradigm for new biomedical applications. In this Perspective, recent developments in the synthesis of sophisticated glycomacromolecules are highlighted, and their biological and biomedical applications are also discussed in detail.

Abstract
In conventional drug administration, drug molecules cross multiple biological barriers, distribute randomly in the tissues, and can release insufficient concentrations at the desired pathological site. Controlling the delivery of the molecules can increase the concentration of the drug in the desired location, leading to improved efficacy, and reducing the unwanted effects of the molecules under investigation. Nanoparticles (NPs), have shown a distinctive potential in targeting drugs due to their unique properties, such as large surface area and quantum properties. A variety of NPs have been used over the years for the encapsulation of different drugs and biologics, acting as drug carriers, including lipid-based and polymeric NPs. Applying NP platforms in medicines significantly improves the disease diagnosis and therapy. Several conventional methods have been used for the manufacturing of drug loaded NPs, with conventional manufacturing methods having several limitations, leading to multiple drawbacks, including NPs with large particle size and broad size distribution (high polydispersity index), besides the unreproducible formulation and high batch-to-batch variability. Therefore, new methods such as microfluidics (MFs) need to be investigated more thoroughly. MFs, is a novel manufacturing method that uses microchannels to produce a size-controlled and monodispersed NP formulation. In this review, different formulation methods of polymeric and lipid-based NPs will be discussed, emphasizing the different manufacturing methods and their advantages and limitations and how microfluidics has the capacity to overcome these limitations and improve the role of NPs as an effective drug delivery system.

Abstract
Carbohydrate-protein and carbohydrate-carbohydrate interactions are very important for various biological processes. Although the magnitude of these interactions is low compared to that of protein-protein interaction, the magnitude can be boosted by multivalent approach known as glycocluster effect. Nanoparticle platform is one of the best ways to present diverse glycoforms in multivalent manner and thus, the field of glyconanotechnology has emerged as an important field of research considering their potential applications in diagnostics and therapeutics. Considerable advances in the field have been achieved through development of novel techniques, use of diverse metallic and non-metallic cores for better efficacy and application of ever-increasing number of carbohydrate ligands for site-specific interaction. The present review encompasses the recent developments in the area of glyconanotechnology and their future promise as diagnostic and therapeutic tools.

Abstract
Recognition of glycans by proteins plays a crucial role in a variety of physiological processes in cells and living organisms. In addition, interactions of glycans with proteins are involved in the development of diverse diseases, such as pathogen infection, inflammation and tumor metastasis. It is well-known that multivalent glycans bind to proteins much more strongly than do their monomeric counterparts. Owing to this property, numerous multivalent glycans have been utilized to elucidate glycan-mediated biological processes and to discover glycan-based biomedical agents. In this review, we discuss recent advances (2014-2020) made in the development and biological and biomedical applications of synthetic multivalent glycans, including neoglycopeptides, neoglycoproteins, glycodendrimers, glycopolymers, glyconanoparticles and glycoliposomes. We hope this review assists researchers in the design and development of novel multivalent glycans with predictable activities.

Abstract
Carbohydrates are the most abundant and one of the most important biomacromolecules in Nature. Except for energy-related compounds, carbohydrates can be roughly divided into two categories: Carbohydrates as matter and carbohydrates as information. As matter, carbohydrates are abundantly present in the extracellular matrix of animals and cell walls of various plants, bacteria, fungi, etc., serving as scaffolds. Some commonly found polysaccharides are featured as biocompatible materials with controllable rigidity and functionality, forming polymeric biomaterials which are widely used in drug delivery, tissue engineering, etc. As information, carbohydrates are usually referred to the glycans from glycoproteins, glycolipids, and proteoglycans, which bind to proteins or other carbohydrates, thereby meditating the cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. These glycans could be simplified as synthetic glycopolymers, glycolipids, and glycoproteins, which could be afforded through polymerization, multistep synthesis, or a semisynthetic strategy. The information role of carbohydrates can be demonstrated not only as targeting reagents but also as immune antigens and adjuvants. The latter are also included in this review as they are always in a macromolecular formulation. In this review, we intend to provide a relatively comprehensive summary of carbohydrate-based macromolecular biomaterials since 2010 while emphasizing the fundamental understanding to guide the rational design of biomaterials. Carbohydrate-based macromolecules on the basis of their resources and chemical structures will be discussed, including naturally occurring polysaccharides, naturally derived synthetic polysaccharides, glycopolymers/glycodendrimers, supramolecular glycopolymers, and synthetic glycolipids/glycoproteins. Multiscale structure-function relationships in several major application areas, including delivery systems, tissue engineering, and immunology, will be detailed. We hope this review will provide valuable information for the development of carbohydrate-based macromolecular biomaterials and build a bridge between the carbohydrates as matter and the carbohydrates as information to promote new biomaterial design in the near future.

Abstract
This brief review highlights systematic progress in the design of synthetic glycolipid (neoglycolipids) analogs evolving from the conventional architectures of natural glycosphingolipids and gangliosides. Given that naturally occurring glycolipids are composed of only one hydrophilic sugar head-group and two hydrophobic lipid tails embedded in the lipid bilayers of the cell membranes, they usually require extraneous lipids (phosphatidylcholine, cholesterol) to confer their stability. In order to obviate the necessity for these additional stabilizing ingredients, recent investigations have merged dendrimer chemistry with that of neoglycolipid syntheses. This singular approach has provided novel glycoarchitectures allowing reconsidering the necessity for the traditional one to two hydrophilic/hydrophobic ratio. An emphasis has been provided in the recent design of modular arborescent neoglycolipid syntheses coined glycodendrimersomes.

Abstract
DC-SIGN, a lectin discovered two decades ago, plays a relevant role in innate immunity. Since its discovery, it has turned out to be a target for developing antiviral drugs based on carbohydrates due to its participation in the infection process of several pathogens. A plethora of carbohydrate multivalent systems using different scaffolds have been described to achieve this goal. Our group has made significant contributions to this field, which are revised herein.

Abstract
Carbohydrates are functional and structural biomolecules with structures ranging from monosaccharides to polysaccharides. They are naturally found as pure glycans or attached to lipids and proteins forming glycoconjugates. The biosynthesis of carbohydrates is not genetically controlled. The regulation takes place by the expression of enzymes that transfer and hydrolyze the glycan units, leading to glycocojugates having complex mixtures of glycan structures. Chemical synthesis emerged as the best strategy to obtain defined glycan and glycoconjugates and overcome the challenging purification processes. Here, we review the recent advances in the synthesis of oligosaccharides using manual and automated methods. The chapter covers the methods for the preparation of building blocks and control of stereoselectivity and regioselectivity during glycosylations. Finally, it also presents the strategies to obtain natural and non-natural glycoconjugates with lipids and proteins.

Abstract
The world is experiencing one of the most difficult moments in history with the COVID-19 pandemic, a disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, a new type of coronavirus. Virus infectivity is mediated by the binding of Spike transmembrane glycoprotein to specific protein receptors present on cell host surface. Spike is a homotrimer that emerges from the virion, each monomer containing two subunits named S1 and S2, which are related to cell recognition and membrane fusion, respectively. S1 is subdivided in domains S1A (or NTD) and S1B (or RBD), with experimental and in silico studies suggesting that the former binds to sialic acid-containing glycoproteins, such as CD147, whereas the latter binds to ACE2 receptor. Recent findings indicate that the ABO blood system modulates susceptibility and progression of infection, with type-A individuals being more susceptible to infection and/or manifestation of a severe condition. Seeking to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying this susceptibility, we carried out an extensive bibliographic survey on the subject. Based on this survey, we hypothesize that the correlation between the ABO blood system and susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection can be presumably explained by the modulation of sialic acid-containing receptors distribution on host cell surface induced by ABO antigens through carbohydrate-carbohydrate interactions, which could maximize or minimize the virus Spike protein binding to the host cell. This model could explain previous sparse observations on the molecular mechanism of infection and can direct future research to better understand of COVID-19 pathophysiology.

Abstract
Carbohydrate-protein interactions define a multitude of cellular recognition events. We present herein synthetic glycovesicles as cell-surface mimics in order to switch the nature of lectin recognition. The covalent glycovesicles, constituted with diacetylene monomers of various ligand densities at their surfaces, are prepared through photo-polymerization. Vesicles with sparsely imbedded ligands engage in a lectin interaction leading to the formation of a dense, crosslinked multimeric complex. On the other hand, vesicles with many ligands, or completely covered with them, switch the lectin interaction to form a fully soluble monomeric complex, without crosslinking. Nanomolar dissociation constants govern these interactions, as assessed by a ligand-displacement assay. The study demonstrates the switching nature - between monomeric and multimeric - of the interaction as a function of ligand density in the vesicles; the results are directly relevant to understanding such a phenomenon occurring at cell surfaces.

Abstract
Individual interactions between glycans and their receptors are usually weak, although these weak interactions can combine to realize a strong interaction (multivalency). Such multivalency plays a crucial role in the recognition of host cells by pathogens. Glycodendrimers are useful materials for the reconstruction of this multivalent interaction. However, the introduction of a large number of glycans to a dendrimer core is fraught with difficulties. We herein synthesized antipathogenic glycodendrimers using the self-activating click chemistry (SACC) method developed by our group. The excellent reactivity of SACC enabled the efficient preparation of sialyl glycan and Gb3 glycan dendrimers, which exhibited strong avidity toward hemagglutinin on influenza virus and Shiga toxin B subunit produced by Escherichia coli, respectively. We demonstrated the usefulness of SACC-based glycodendrimers as antipathogenic compounds.

Abstract
Polysaccharides are a class of carbohydrates that play pivotal roles in living systems such as being chemical messengers in many vital biological pathways. However, the complexity and heterogeneity of these natural structures have posed daunting challenges on their production, characterization, evaluation, and applications. While there have been various types of synthetic skeletons that could mimic some biological aspects of polysaccharides, a safer and more easily accessed system is still desired to avoid the unnatural components and difficulties in modifying the structures. In this work, conveniently accessible self-assembling glycopeptide conjugates are developed, where the natural O-glycosidic linkages and phosphoryl modifications assist the self-assembly and concurrently reduce the risk of toxicity. The generated nanoparticles in aqueous solution offer a multivalent display of structurally controllable carbohydrates as mimics of polysaccharides, among which a mannosylated version exhibits immunostimulatory effects in both cellular assays and vaccination of mice. The obtained results demonstrate the potential of this glycopeptide conjugate-derived platform in exploiting the intriguing properties of carbohydrates in a more structurally maneuverable fashion.

Abstract
Nata de coco was chemically modified to afford the bacterial cellulose hydrogels carrying terminal alkynes. The resultant hydrogels were then converted into hydrogels carrying lactosides or those carrying α-2,3-sialyllactosides by the Cu+-catalyzed alkyne-azide cyclization. The stable homo association of the hydrogels carrying lactosides was observed in an aqueous solution containing Ca2+, thereby demonstrating the Ca2+-mediated lactoside-lactoside interactions. Ca2+ also stabilized the hetero associations among the hydrogels carrying lactosides and those carrying α-2,3-sialyllactosides, thereby also demonstrating the Ca2+-induced interactions between the lactosides and the α-2,3-sialyllactosides. The sizes of these hydrogels were of the order of ca. 5 mm, and their associations could thus be readily monitored with the naked eye.

Abstract
Densely packed carbohydrate clusters on cell surfaces play essential roles in varieties of bioprocesses. Little information has been, however, accumulated so far concerning their structural/functional details. In this chapter, we discuss artificial systems to investigate carbohydrate-carbohydrate interactions within/between the carbohydrate cluster(s). Among such artificial systems, much attention will be especially placed on glycosylated tris-bipyridine ferrous complexes for monitoring not only carbohydrate-carbohydrate interactions within the glycocluster but also their resultant conformational changes.

Abstract
Multivalent ligand-receptor interactions play essential roles in biological recognition and signaling. As the receptor arrangement on the cell surface can alter the outcome of cell signaling and also provide spatial specificity for ligand binding, controlling the presentation of ligands has become a promising strategy to manipulate or selectively target protein receptors. The lack of adjustable universal tools to control ligand positions at the size of a few nanometers has prompted the development of polyproline tri-helix macrocycles as scaffolds to present ligands in designated patterns. Model lectin Helix pomatia agglutinin has shown selectivity toward the matching GalNAc ligand pattern matching its binding sites arrangement. The GalNAc pattern selectivity is also observed on intact asialoglycoprotein receptor oligomer on human hepatoma cells showing the pattern-selective interaction can be achieved not only on isolated protein oligomers but also the receptors arranged on the cell surface. As the scaffold design allows convenient creation of versatile ligand patterns, it can be expected as a promising tool to probe the arrangement of receptors on the cell surface and as nanomedicine to manipulate signaling or cell recognition.

Abstract
DC-SIGN and langerin receptors both bind to oligomannose but lead to opposite effects upon encountering HIV. Because selective targeting of DC-SIGN can lead to anti-viral effects, we developed a glycoconjugate, which provides over 4800-fold selectivity for DC-SIGN over langerin, by controlling the oligomannose pattern on a polyproline tetra-helix macrocycle scaffold.

Abstract
Carbohydrates mediate a wide range of biological interactions, and understanding these processes benefits the development of new therapeutics. Isolating sufficient quantities of glycoconjugates from biological samples remains a significant challenge. With advances in chemical and enzymatic carbohydrate synthesis, the availability of complex carbohydrates is increasing and developing methods for stereoselective conjugation these polar head groups to proteins and lipids is critically important for pharmaceutical applications. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of commonly employed strategies for installing a functionalized linker at the anomeric position as well as examples of further transformations that have successfully led to glycoconjugation to vaccine constructs for biological evaluation as carbohydrate-based therapeutics.

Abstract
Sugar amino acid (SAA)-based foldamers with well-defined secondary structures were appended with N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) sugars to access sequence-defined, multidentate glycoconjugates with full control over number, spacing and position. Conformation analysis of these glycopeptides by extensive NMR spectroscopic studies revealed that the appended GalNAc units had a profound influence on the native conformational behaviour of the SAA foldamers. Whereas the 2,5-cis glycoconjugate showed a helical structure in water, comprising of two consecutive 16-membered hydrogen bonds, its 2,5-trans congener displayed an unprecedented 16/10-mixed turn structure not seen before in any glycopeptide foldamer.

Abstract
Carbohydrate-protein interactions (CPIs) are involved in a wide range of biological phenomena. Hence, the characterization and presentation of carbohydrate epitopes that closely mimic the natural environment is one of the long-term goals of glycosciences. Inspired by the multivalency, heterogeneity and nature of carbohydrate ligand-mediated interactions, we constructed a combinatorial library of mannose and galactose homo- and hetero-glycodendrons to study CPIs. Microarray analysis of these glycodendrons with a wide range of biologically important plant and animal lectins revealed that oligosaccharide structures and heterogeneity interact with each other to alter binding preferences.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Emerging applications of carbohydrate/cationic surfactant mixtures require not only synergistic mixing, but also accessible sugar headgroups at the exterior of micelles. A previous study showed that the glucoside headgroups of octyl-β-d-glucopyranoside aggregate at the interior of mixed micelles with equimolar cetyltrimethylammonium bromide rather than mixing with trimethylammonium groups at the corona. The current study tests the hypothesis that structural characteristics of the surfactants (the relative lengths of the alkyl tails and the type of linker) can be tuned to shift the carbohydrate groups to micelle surfaces. EXPERIMENTS The structural arrangement of 30 mM equimolar mixed micelle solutions in D2O is investigated using NMR. The dynamics in different regions are probed using 1H spin-lattice (T1) and spin-spin (T2) relaxation measurements, and relative positioning by nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (NOESY). Additional micellar properties are determined using solvatochromic fluorescent probes. FINDINGS Matching surfactant alkyl tail lengths is found ineffective at "pushing out" the carbohydrate headgroups due to a large mismatch in interactions between the headgroups and D2O. However, inserting a novel polar triazole group between the carbohydrate head group and the hydrophobic tail (e.g. in n-octyl-β-d-xylopyranoside) using click chemistry is able to "pull out" the carbohydrate, thus giving accessible sugar moieties at the surface of mixed micelles.

Abstract
Glyconanoparticles essentially result from the (covalent or noncovalent) association of nanometer-scale objects with carbohydrates. Such glyconanoparticles can take many different forms and this mini review will focus only on soft materials (colloids, liposomes, gels etc.) with a special emphasis on glycolipid-derived nanomaterials and the chemistry involved for their synthesis. Also this contribution presents Low Molecular Weight Gels (LMWGs) stabilized by glycoconjugate amphiphiles. Such soft materials are likely to be of interest for different biomedical applications.
