On the phosphate linkages and the structure of a disaccharide unit of the type-specific polysaccharide of Pneumococcus type XIX.

The structure of the capsular polysaccharide (S-XIX) of Pneumococcus Type XIX, which contains residues of D-glucose, L-rhamnose, 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-mannose, and phosphate, has been investigated by acid hydrolysis, treatment with acid phosphatase, mass spectrometry, and 13C-n.m.r. spectroscopy. Phosphoric esters in S-XIX were largely resistant to hydrolysis (4M HCl, 100 degrees, 3 h). With M or 2M HCl at 100 degrees for 3 h, 4-O-(2-amino-2-deoxy-beta-D-mannopyranosyl)-D-glucose 4'-phosphate was liberated. More-drastic hydrolysis of S-XIX gave 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-mannose 3-, 4-, and 6-phosphates, and 4-O-(2-amino-2-deoxy-D-mannopyranosyl)-D-glucose and its 4'-phosphate.

[Synthesis of a disaccharide with antibiotic activity].

The aminodisaccharide glycoside methyl 2,4-diamino-2,4-dideoxy-6-O-(2,6-diamino-2,6-dideoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl)- beta-D-glucopyranoside (4), which exhibits a structural resemblance to neamine, was synthesized via the azido method. Starting from 6-O-acetyl-2-azido-3,4-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl bromide, the alpha-D-glycosylation of O-6 of methyl 2,4-diazido-3-O-benzyl-2,4-dideoxy-beta-D-glucopyranoside was accomplished stereoselectively at low temperatures in the presence of mercury bromide. Against some gram-negative test-organisms, the activity of 4 was found to be in the same range as neamine, but directed against different germs.

Synthesis of the two monomethyl esters of the disaccharide 4-O-alpha-D-galacturonosyl-D-galacturonic acid and of precursors for the preparation of higher oligomers methyl uronated in definite sequences.

Methyl (alpha-D-galactopyranosyluronic acid)-(1-->4)-D-galactopyranuronate and methyl alpha-D-galactopyranosyl-uronate-(1-->4)-D-galactopyranuronic acid have been synthesized by coupling methyl (benzyl 2,3-di-O-benzyl-beta-D-galactopyranosid)uronate (3) or benzyl (benzyl 2,3-di-O-benzyl-beta-D-galactopyranosid)uronate (4) with benzyl (phenyl 2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-1-thio-beta-D-galactopyranosid)uronate and methyl (phenyl 2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-1-thio-beta-D-galactopyranosid)uronate, respectively, using N-iodosuccinimide and trifluoromethanesulphonic acid as promoters, followed by removal of the benzyl groups. The 4'-OH unprotected dimers benzyl (methyl 2,3-di-O-benzyl-alpha-D-galactopyranosyluronate)-(1-->4)-(benzyl 2,3-di-O-benzyl-beta-D-galactopyranosid)uronate and methyl (benzyl 2,3-di-O-benzyl-alpha-D-galactopyranosyluronate)-(1-->4)-(benzyl 2,3-di-O-benzyl-beta-D-galactopyranosid)uronate were prepared from methyl (phenyl 2,3-di-O-benzyl-1-thio-4-O-trimethylsilyl-beta-D-galactopyranosid) uronate and benzyl (phenyl 2,3-di-O-benzyl-1-thio-4-O-trimethylsilyl-beta-D-galactopyranosid) uronate and acceptors 4 or 3, respectively. These compounds have been designed to serve as precursors for the preparation of higher-membered D-galacturonic acid oligomers methyl esterified in definite positions.

A new procedure for the preparation of beta-keto-delta-lactones from sugars and their transformation into glycosyl acceptors in disaccharides synthesis

[reaction: see text] Glycals are effective starting materials for the synthesis of enantiopure beta-ketone-delta-lactones. They are easily transformed, through a two-step, one-pot reaction, into the corresponding alpha,alpha'-dioxothiones which in turn can be quantitatively trapped with dienophiles in inverse electron-demand [4 + 2] cycloadditions. The reaction of dioxothione 8b with endo and exo glucals allowed the elaboration of a new protocol to prepare 2-thio- or 2-deoxydisaccharides stereoselectively.

Structural analyses of new tri- and tetrasaccharides produced from disaccharides by transglycosylation of purified Trichoderma viride beta-glucosidase.

A new beta-glucosidase was partially purified from Trichoderma viride cellulase. This beta-glucosidase catalyzed a transglycosylation reaction of cellobiose to give beta-D-Glc-(1-->6)-beta-D-Glc-(1-->4)-D-Glc (1, yield: 18.8%) and beta-D-Glc-(1-->6)-beta-D-Glc-(1-->6)-beta-D-Glc-(1-->4)-D-Glc (2, 3.7%), regioselectively. Furthermore, the enzyme regioselectively converted laminaribiose and gentiobiose into beta-D-Glc-(1-->6)-beta-D-Glc-(1-->3)-D-Glc (3, 15.3%) and beta-D-Glc-(1-->6)-beta-D-Glc-(1-->6)-D-Glc (4, 20.2%), respectively. The structures (1-4) of the products were determined by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopies. This high regio- and stereoselectively of the beta-glucosidase could be applied for oligosaccharide synthesis.

Diagnostic enzymology of alpha-L-iduronidase with special reference to a sulphated disaccharide derived from heparin.

1. Iduronosyl anhydro[1-3H] mannitol 6-sulphate (IMs), iduronosyl anhydro [1 3H] mannitol, phenyl iduronide (PhI) and 4-methylumbelliferyl iduronide have been compared as substrates for the diagnostic estimation of alpha-L-iduronidase activity present in human leucocyte and cultured skin fibroblast homogenates. The pH profile of leucocyte and fibroblast iduronidase activity was dependent on substrate structure and concentration, the ionic strength and the nature of the buffer ion used in the assay mixture. 2. NaCl, KBr and Na2SO4 were shown to be parabolic competitive inhibitors of IMs activity, the Ki with fibroblast homogenates being 34, 13.4 and 0.22 mmol/l respectively. NaCl and KBr were shown to have a primary salt effect on the interaction between enzyme and substrate but Na2SO4 appeared to have a specific ion effect at a cationic binding site. 3. NaCl inhibited the hydrolysis of IMs at all pH values studied, whereas NaCl concentrations of 0.2 mol/l inhibited the hydrolysis of PhI at pH values below 3.8 but activated the enzyme at higher incubation pH values. 4. Cu2+ was shown to be a potent non-competitive inhibitor of IMs enzyme activity with an apparent Ki of approximately 0.02 mmol/l. The enzyme activity was inhibited by Fe2+ (Ki 4 mmol/l), Hg2+ and Ag+, but has no significantly been affected by other univalent or bivalent cations. 5. The presence of solvent and salt effects on apparent Km but not the Vmax. suggest that the binding of IMs to the enzyme involved charge neutralization, and it is inferred that two cationic binding sites are present at the active site. It is postulated that one site specifically binds to the iduronic acid carboxyl group, the other to the 6-sulphate of the anhydromannitol moiety.
