Inhibitory effects of cucurbitane glycosides and other triterpenoids from the fruit of Momordica grosvenori on epstein-barr virus early antigen induced by tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate.

Two new triterpene benzoates, 5-dehydrokarounidiol dibenzoate (1) and karounidiol dibenzoate (2), and two new triterpene glycosides, 5alpha,6alpha-epoxymogroside IE(1) (8) and 11-oxomogroside A(1) (9), along with 15 known triterpenoids (one triterpene benzoate, 3; three triterpene mono-ols, 4-6; one triterpene aglycon, 7; and 10 triterpene glycosides, 10-19), were isolated from the ethanol extract of the fruit of Momordica grosvenori. The structures of 1, 2, 8, and 9 were determined on the basis of spectroscopic and chemical methods. Among the known triterpene glycosides, mogroside I E(1) (12) was a new naturally occurring compound. Eighteen triterpenoids (2-19) and 11-oxomogrol (20), a hydrolysis product of 9, were evaluated with respect to their inhibitory effects on the induction of Epstein-Barr virus early antigen (EBV-EA) by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) in Raji cells, which is known to be a primary screening test for antitumor promoters. All of the compounds tested showed potent inhibitory effects on EBV-EA induction (70-100% inhibition at 1 x 10(3) mol ratio/TPA).

Separation of flavanone-7-O-glycoside diastereomers and analysis in citrus juices by multidimensional liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry.

The major flavanone-7-O-glycoside constituents in citrus fruit juices (naringin, hesperidin, neohesperidin, narirutin, and eriocitrin) were separated as diastereomers by multidimensional liquid chromatography. The method consisted of coupling two HPLC columns: a reversed-phase (RP(18)) column was used for the separation of flavanone glycosides, which were, then, individually switched into a carboxymethylated beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD)-based column and resolved as the corresponding stereoisomers. The method was used for the full analysis of flavanone glycosides in fresh hand-squeezed and commercial fruit juices by combining the quantitative estimation with the diastereomeric analysis. Quantitative data were in general consistent with previously reported data in this field. CC-LC isomer analysis was carried out by coupling the beta-CD column with a mass spectrometer operated with negative ion electrospray ionization (ESI-MS). The results showed that hesperidin was present in orange juices almost exclusively as the 2S isomer, whereas narirutin had mainly the 2R configuration. In grapefruit juices (2S)-naringin prevailed with the respect to the 2R isomer, whereas the opposite was true for narirutin. Lemon juices contained eriocitrin stereoisomers in equal amount (50% each), but hesperidin was almost exclusively found as the 2S isomer. Significant differences of the diastereomeric ratios were observed between freshly squeezed juices and juices from commercial sources.

Beta-D-glucosyl and alpha-D-galactosyl Yariv reagents: syntheses from p-nitrophenyl-D-glycosides by transfer reduction using ammonium formate.

Yariv beta-D-glucosyl (4a) and Yariv alpha-d-galactosyl (4b) reagents are multivalent phenylglycosides. The beta-D-glucosyl reagent is considered diagnostic for arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) to which it can reversibly bind, stain, and precipitate. The alpha-D-galactosyl reagent does not bind AGPs and is used as a control. In a new strategy, we accomplished the large scale synthesis of the Yariv reagents in one continuous step by a transfer reduction method and without a need for any specialized apparatus. As the starting material, p-nitrophenyl-D-glycosides (1) were reduced to p-aminophenyl-D-glycosides (2) using ammonium formate as the hydrogen donor. The excess formate was converted to formic acid and ammonia, which then were removed from the reaction by simple distillation. Without isolation, p-aminophenyl-D-glycosides were diazotized (3) and coupled to phloroglucinol to give the Yariv reagents in approximately 40% yield. AGPs are a major component of gum arabic, an emulsifying agent widely used in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Increasing interest in AGPs prompted the development of a relatively easy and inexpensive method for the synthesis of these reagents.

Glycosidically bound volatiles and flavor precursors in Laurus nobilis L.

Glycosidically bound volatile compounds in different parts (leaves and buds) of Laurus nobilis L. were investigated. After isolation of extracts obtained by Amberlite XAD-2 adsorption and methanol elution, glycosides were analyzed after enzymatic hydrolysis by GC-MS or directly after trifluoroacetyl (TFA) derivatization by GC-MS in EI and NCI mode. In the leaves most of the glycosidically bound volatiles occur as beta-D-glucopyranosides. Among the disaccharides, primeverosides are predominant; smaller amounts of alpha-L-arabinofuranosyl-beta-D-glucopyranosides, rutinosides, and vicianocides could also be identified. Major aglycons comprised benzyl alcohol, some linalool-diols, 2-hydroxy-1,8-cineole and its derivatives such as 2,3-dehydro-1,8-cineole, sobrerols, and menthadien-8-ols. Among the identified nor-carotenoids, 3-oxo-alpha-ionol, the corresponding 7,8-dihydro derivative, and vomifoliol are predominant in leaves. 3-Hydroxy-beta-damascone and 3-hydroxy-7,8-didehydro-beta-ionol, precursors of the sensorially active damascenone, were identified only in the buds.

Phenylpropanoid glycosides from Tynanthus panurensis: characterization and LC-MS quantitative analysis.

A phytochemical analysis of the methanol extract of Tynanthus panurensis bark led to the isolation of one new phenylpropanoid glycoside, eugenol-O-[beta-D-xylopyranosyl-(1-->5)-O-beta-D-apiofuranosyl-(1-->6)-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside], the known verbascoside, isoverbascoside, and leucosceptoside, along with the known flavonoid apigenin 8-C-[beta-D-xylopyranosyl-(1-->6)-beta-D-glucopyranoside], namely, katchimoside. Their structures were established by NMR and ESIMS experiments. Additionally, a quantitative study of the phenylpropanoid glycosides fraction of T. panurensis bark and of the hydroalcoholic extract prepared according to the traditional recipe was performed by combining high-performance liquid chromatography diode array detection with positive electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry. The new eugenol derivate was found to be the most abundant phenylpropanoid glycoside in both dried bark (19.5 mg/g) and hydroalcoholic extract (0.24 mg/mL). The antioxidant activity of all the isolated compounds and of the methanol and hydroalcoholic extract of the bark was determined by measuring the free radical scavenging effects using the Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity method. The traditional hydroalcoholic extract showed a moderate activity.

Evaluation of isoflavone aglycon and glycoside distribution in soy plants and soybeans by fast column high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with a diode-array detector.

An ultrafast HPLC/UV-vis DAD method working at 254 nm was applied for the determination of isoflavone aglycons and glycosides (genistin, genistein, daidzein, daidzin, glycitin, glycitein, ononin, formononetin, sissotrin, and biochanin A) in roots, stems, leaves, and soy pods of soy plants and in soybeans of five varieties (Korada, Quito, Rita, OAC Erin, and OAC Vison). An Atlantis dC18 ultrafast RP chromatographic column (20 mm x 2.1 mm, 3 microm particle size) was applied for separation of the isoflavone aglycons and glycosides. A flow rate of the mobile phase (0.1% (v/v) acetic acid, pH 3.75-solvent A and methanol-solvent B) was 0.35 mL min(-1), and the column temperature was 36 degrees C. A linear gradient profile from 13 up to 22% B (v/v) from zero to 2.5 min, up to 30% B to 3.21 min, up to 35% B to 4 min, up to 40% B to 4.5 min, up to 50% B to 5.14 min, and followed by negative gradient up to 13% B to 7.71 min was used. The absolute limits of detection per sample injection (5 microL) were the highest for biochanin A (166.2 fmol) and the lowest for genistin (17.0 fmol), respectively. An accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) in combination with sonication was applied for isolation of biologically active compounds. A solid-phase extraction procedure was used to purify the extracts in the case of analysis of soy plants parts. The recoveries of 96-106% were obtained for the different concentrations of the isoflavone aglycons and glycosides and the different matrixes (overall RSDs 2-9%). The highest isoflavone concentrations were found in roots (12.5 microg g(-1) dry weight), while the amounts were about 3-1100 microg g(-1) fresh weight in different varieties of soybeans.

Synthesis, structure analyses, and characterization of novel epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) glycosides using the glucansucrase from Leuconostoc mesenteroides B-1299CB.

In this study, three epigallocatechin gallate glycosides were synthesized by the acceptor reaction of a glucansucrase produced by Leuconostoc mesenteroides B-1299CB with epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and sucrose. Each of these glycosides was then purified, and the structures were assigned as follows: epigallocatechin gallate 7-O-alpha-D-glucopyranoside (EGCG-G1); epigallocatechin gallate 4'-O-alpha-D-glucopyranoside (EGCG-G1'); and epigallocatechin gallate 7,4'-O-alpha-D-glucopyranoside (EGCG-G2). One of these compounds (EGCG-G1) was a novel compound. The EGCG glycosides exhibited similar or slower antioxidant effects, depending on their structures (EGCG > or = EGCG-G1 > EGCG-G1' > EGCG-G2), and also manifested a higher degree of browning resistance than was previously noted in EGCG. Also, EGCG-G1, EGCG-G1', and EGCG-G2 were 49, 55, and 114 times as water soluble, respectively, as EGCG.

A colon-specific drug-delivery system based on drug glycosides and the glycosidases of colonic bacteria.

Steroid glycosides and the unique glycosidase activity of the colonic microflora form the basis of a new colon-specific drug-delivery system. Drug glycosides are hydrophilic and, thus, poorly absorbed from the small intestine. Once such a glycoside reaches the colon it can be cleaved by bacterial glycosidases, releasing the free drug to be absorbed by the colonic mucosa. This concept was illustrated with dexamethasone 21-beta-D-glucoside (1) and prednisolone 21-beta-D-glucoside (2), two prodrugs that may be useful in treating inflammatory bowel disease. Hydrolysis of the prodrugs by beta-glucosidase and fecal homogenates in vitro released the free steroids. Glucosides 1 and 2 were administered to rats intragastrically to determine when and where the free steroids were released. Unmodified dexamethasone (3) and prednisolone (4) were also given to rats intragastrically to compare absorption of the glucosides with the free steroids. Both glucosides were found to reach the rat lower intestine in 4-5 h, where they were rapidly hydrolyzed, releasing the free steroids. Delivery of steroid 3 (via glucoside 1) was more specific than that of steroid 4 (via glucoside 2): nearly 60% of an oral dose of glucoside 1 reached the cecum, whereas less than 15% of glucoside 2 reached the cecum. When free steroids 3 and 4 were administered orally, they were almost exclusively absorbed in the small intestine: less than 1% of an oral dose of each reached the cecum.

Drug glycosides: potential prodrugs for colon-specific drug delivery.

The influence of prodrug structure on specificity of glycoside/glycosidase based colon-specific drug delivery was studied by preparing nine steroid glycosides, measuring their relative lipophilicities, and hydrolyzing them with bacterial glycosidases from rat intestines. The 21-yl beta-D-glucosides and galactosides of dexamethasone, prednisolone, hydrocortisone, and fludrocortisone and the 21-yl beta-D-cellobioside of prednisolone were prepared by a modified Koenigs-Knorr reaction. The deacetylated glycoside prodrugs, along with the P-nitrophenyl derivatives of beta-D-glucoside, galactoside, and cellobioside, were subjected to hydrolysis by the contents of the rat stomach, proximal small intestine (PSI), distal small intestine (DSI), and cecum. All the prodrugs were hydrolyzed slowly by PSI and stomach contents, more rapidly by contents of the DSI, and most rapidly by cecal contents. This is the basis of the site-specific drug delivery reported earlier (Friend, D. R.; Chang, G. W. J. Med. Chem. 1984, 27, 261). Furthermore, the prodrugs themselves had very different susceptibilities to hydrolysis. Hydrolysis rates catalyzed by DSI contents decreased in the following order: prednisolon-21-yl beta-D-galactoside (10) greater than prednisolon-21-yl beta-D-glucoside (2) greater than prednisolon-21-yl beta-D-cellobioside (13) greater than dexamethason-21-yl beta-D-galactoside (9) greater than dexamethason-21-yl beta-D-glucoside (1). Hydrolysis of cellobioside 13 was only half that of glucoside 2 and one-fourth that of galactoside 10. Hydrolysis of all the prodrugs in cecal contents was rapid, with the exceptions of hydrocortison-21-yl beta-D-glucoside (5) and fludrocortison-21-yl beta-D-glucoside (7), which were hydrolyzed more slowly than the other glucoside prodrugs. Eadie-Hofstee plots for hydrolysis of the glucoside compounds suggested that bacterial beta-D-glucosidase activity in the colon may be more heterogeneous in nature than beta-D-galactosidase activity. Relative lipophilicities of the prodrugs and free steroids were compared by measuring their octanol-buffer partition coefficients (P). The logarithm of the P of cellobioside 13 (-0.56) was considerably lower than that of the other prodrugs, which ranged from 0.11 to 0.84. Log P of the free steroids ranged from 1.54 to 1.73. These relative rates of hydrolysis and relative lipophilicities, along with previously reported animal experiments, enable one to estimate the site specificity of glycoside prodrugs prior to extensive animal studies.

A general strategy for the practical synthesis of nojirimycin C-glycosides and analogues. Extension to the first reported example of an iminosugar 1-phosphonate.

An efficient and versatile strategy for the synthesis of nojirimycin C-glycosides and related compounds with full stereocontrol is reported. The key steps of the process are the addition of organometallic reagents onto an L-sorbose-derived imine (13) followed by an internal reductive amination. The addition step, which controls the alpha- vs beta-configuration at the pseudoanomeric center in the final product, is highly diastereoselective (re-face addition), and the stereoselectivity can be effectively inverted by adding an external monodentate Lewis acid (si-face addition). The complete synthesis could be achieved in 10 steps only from commercially available 2,3;4,6-di-O-isopropylidene-alpha-L-sorbofuranose and provided alpha- or beta-1-C-substituted 1-deoxynojirimycin derivatives in 27-52% overall yield. The strategy was successfully extended to the first example of an iminosugar 1-phosphonate. The methodology provides access to a wide range of biologically relevant glycoconjugate mimetics in which the glycosidic function is replaced by an imino-C-glycosidic linkage.

Synthesis of a serine-based neuraminic acid C-glycoside.

Cell-surface carbohydrates are classified by the nature of their linkages to the protein as either N-linked or O-linked. O- and N-glycans are involved in a number of important biological functions. These activities can be lost on glycoprotein catabolism when these glycan linkages are enzymatically hydrolyzed. The design and synthesis of novel C-linked glycans should provide catabolically stable glycoproteins useful for understanding and regulating important biological processes. Our efforts are currently directed toward the synthesis of C-glycosides of ulosonic acids. This paper describes the first synthesis of a serine-based neuraminic acid C-glycoside. The protecting group chemistry required for both carbohydrate and peptide syntheses complicates this approach. Different protecting group strategies were investigated for use in the samarium diiodide mediated C-glycosylation reaction. The key elements of our synthetic approach involve the following: (i) the substitution of homoserine for serine in the C-glycosylation reaction to introduce a carbon in place of the O-glycosidic oxygen, (ii) the use of benzyloxycarbonyl as a homoserine protecting group, compatible with samarium diiodide mediated C-glycosylation reaction, and (iii) the reduction of the carbonyl group in homoserine early in the synthesis to improve C-glycosylation yield and to avoid lactone formation. Using this combined approach, we prepared 4-O-acetyl-4-[2-C-(1-methyl 5-acetamido 4,7,8,9-tetra-O-acetyl-2,6-anhydro-3,5-dideoxy-d-erythro-l-manno-nononate)]-2S-(benzyloxycarbonyl)amino-1-carboxylic acid (1), which will be used in peptide synthesis to prepare glycopeptides containing catabolically stable C-linked neuraminic acid.

Factors affecting stereocontrol during glycosidation of 2,3-oxazolidinone-protected 1-tolylthio-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine.

[reaction: see text] It is demonstrated that a ring-fused 2,3-oxazolidinone-protected derivative of 1-tolylthio-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine undergoes high-yield glycosidation under mild donor activation conditions. Stereoselective formation of alpha-linked or beta-linked glycosides is dependent on reactivity of acceptor alcohols, where rate of glycosidation correlates to stereochemical outcome. Evidence for the role of glycosyl triflate intermediates and the N-acetyl substituent of the 2N,3O-oxazolidinone ring in stereochemical control is presented.

A total synthesis of the methyl glycoside of ganglioside GM(1).

The total synthesis of the methyl glycoside of GM(1) (1b) has been accomplished. The key step in the synthesis involves the sulfonamidoglycosidation reaction, which is used to create a beta-linkage leading to a GalNAc residue joined to the C4 hydroxyl group of a galactose unit of a C3 sialylated lactosyl moiety. The "proximal hydroxyl" directing effect, which has been postulated before, manifests in this context as well leading to the preponderant formation of the beta-glycoside. Together with asialo GM(1) and other substructures, the GM(1) methyl glycoside has been submitted for biological assays as potential ligands for bacterial and viral infection sites.

A new naphthopyrone derivative from Cassia quinquangulata and structural revision of quinquangulin and its glycosides.

A novel naphthopyrone derivative, named quinquangulone (1), has been isolated from Cassia quinquangulata, along with the known compounds quinquangulin (2) and its two glycosides (3 and 4), rubrofusarin (5) and its two glycosides (6 and 7), nor-rubrofusarin (8) and its 6-O-glucoside (9), and three stilbenes (10-12). The structure of quinquangulone was established by spectral interpretation as 5,9-dihydroxy-8-methoxy-2,9-dimethyl-6-oxo-4H,6H,9H-naphtho-[2,3-b]pyran-4-one. Reinvestigation of the NMR spectra of quinquangulin led to revision of its structure as 5,6-dihydroxy-8-methoxy-2,9-dimethyl-4H-naphtho[2,3-b]pyran-4-one (2a). The structures of two quinguangulin glycosides, 3 and 4, were also revised accordingly. Compound 2a exhibited activity against Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MIC, 3.125 and 6.25 microg/mL, respectively).
