Glycosidic torsional motions in a bicelle-associated disaccharide from residual dipolar couplings.

An analysis of torsional motions about glycosidic bonds in a disaccharide is undertaken using residual dipolar coupling measurements and selective immobilization of the reducing end sugar to provide a suitable motional reference. The immobilization is accomplished by using the short chain of an alkyl glycoside to anchor the disaccharide to a bilayer medium aligned in magnetic field. Motions about the beta-(1-4) linkage of the n-butyl-4-O-beta-d-galactopyranosyl-alpha-d-mannopyranoside are shown to be substantial (+/-40 degrees ) and in good agreement with predictions of a fully solvated molecular dynamics simulation.

A new tripodal receptor for molecular recognition of monosaccharides. A paradigm for assessing glycoside binding affinities and selectivities by 1H NMR spectroscopy.

A new tripodal receptor for the recognition of monosaccharides is described. The prototypical host 1 features a 1,3,5-substituted 2,4,6-triethylbenzene scaffold bearing three convergent H-bonding units. The binding ability of the t-octyl derivative 1a toward a set of octylglycosides of biologically relevant monosaccharides, including Glc, Gal, Man, and GlcNAc, was investigated by 1H NMR in CDCl3. A protocol for the correct evaluation of binding affinities was established, which can be generally applied for the recognition of monosaccharides by 1H NMR spectroscopy. A three-constant equilibrium model, including 1:1 and 2:1 host-guest association and dimerization of the receptor, was ascertained for the interaction of 1a with all the investigated glycosides. An affinity index, which we defined median binding concentration BC50 in analogy to the IC50 parameter, intended to address the general issue of comparing dimensionally heterogeneous binding data, and a limiting BC0(50)quantity describing intrinsic binding affinities were developed for evaluating the results. BC0(50) values for 1a range from 1 to 6 mM, indicating an intrinsic binding affinity in the millimolar range and a selectivity factor of 5 toward the investigated glycosides. The treatment has been extended to include any generic host-guest system involved in single or multiple binding equilibria.

The disarming effect of the 4,6-acetal group on glycoside reactivity: torsional or electronic?

An evaluation of whether the well-known deactivating effect of a 4,6-acetal protection group on glycosyl transfer is caused by torsional or an electronic effect from fixation of the 6-OH in the tg conformation was made. Two conformationally locked probe molecules, 2,4-dinitrophenyl 4,8-anhydro-7-deoxy-2,3,6-tri-O-methyl-beta-D-glycero-D-gluco-octopyranoside (18R) and the L-glycero-D-gluco isomer (18S), were prepared, and their rate of hydrolysis was compared to that of the flexible 2,4-dinitrophenyl 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside (21) and the locked 2,4-dinitrophenyl 4,6-O-methylidene-2,3-di-O-methyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside (26). The rate of hydrolysis at pH 6.5 was 21 > 18R > 18S > 26, which showed that the deactivating effect of the 4,6-methylene group is partially torsional and partially electronic. A comparison of the rate of acidic hydrolysis of the corresponding methyl alpha-glycosides likewise showed that the probe molecules 17S and 17R hydrolyzed significantly slower than methyl tetra-O-methyl-glucoside 19, confirming a deactivating effect of locking the saccharide in the (4)C(1) conformation. The experiments showed that the hydroxymethyl rotamers deactivate the rate of glycoside hydrolysis in the order tg >> gt > gg.

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) flavonoids. 2. Tricin and chrysoeriol glycosides from aerial parts.

Ten flavone glycosides have been isolated and identified in aerial parts of alfalfa. These included six tricin, one 3'-O-methyltricetin, and three chrysoeriol glycosides. Most of these compounds were acylated with ferulic, coumaric, or sinapic acids, and acylation occurred on the terminal glucuronic acid. Eight of these compounds, including 7-O-beta-D-glucuronopyranosyl-3'-O-methyltricetin, 7-O-beta-D-glucuronopyranosyl-4'-O-beta-D-glucuronopyranosidechrysoeriol, 7-O-[2'-O-feruloyl-beta-D-glucuronopyranosyl(1-->2)-O-beta-D-glucuronopyranoside]chrysoeriol, 7-O-[2'-O-feruloyl-[beta-D-glucuronopyranosyl(1-->3)]-O-beta-D-glucuronopyranosyl(1-->2)-O-beta-D-glucuronopyranoside]chrysoeriol, 7-O-[2'-O-sinapoyl-beta-D-glucuronopyranosyl(1-->2)-O-beta-D-glucuronopyranoside]tricin, 7-O-[2'-O- feruloyl-beta-D-glucuronopyranosyl(1-->2)-O-beta-D-glucuronopyranoside]tricin, 7-O-[2'-O-p-coumaroyl-beta-D-glucuronopyranosyl(1-->2)-O-beta-D-glucuronopyranoside]tricin, and 7-O-[2'-O-feruloyl-[beta-D-glucuronopyranosyl(1-->3)]-O-beta-D-glucuronopyranosyl(1-->2)-O-beta-D-glucuronopyranoside]tricin, have not been reported previously in the plant kingdom. Two previously identified alfalfa flavones, 7-O-beta-D-glucuronopyranosidetricin and 7-O-[beta-D-glucuronopyranosyl(1-->2)-O-beta-D-glucuronopyranoside]tricin, were also isolated.

Identification and quantification of flavonol glycosides in almond seedcoats using MALDI-TOF MS.

Interest in the molecular composition of almonds is growing, due to their popularity in a wide variety of food formulations. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) is a powerful new technique that can be used to rapidly identify and quantify possible bioactive compounds in these popular tree nuts. Four flavonol glycosides were identified in almond seedcoats for the first time: isorhamnetin rutinoside, isorhamnetin glucoside, kaempferol rutinoside, and kaempferol glucoside. A MALDI-TOF MS methodology was developed using rutin (quercetin-3-rutinoside) as an internal standard to quantitatively determine each of the four flavonol glycosides. Results of MALDI-TOF MS analysis were verified by high performance liquid chromatography.

Antioxidant activity of black currant anthocyanin aglycons and their glycosides measured by chemiluminescence in a neutral pH region and in human plasma.

The antioxidant activity of nine anthocyanin glycosides was measured in a neutral pH region using a chemiluminescence (CL) emission system in the presence of an H(2)O(2)-acetaldehyde system, and the intensities were found to be affected by three factors, pH value and both moieties of the aglycon and C-3 sugar. With an increase in pH from 4.0 to 9.0, the CL intensities increased from pH 5.0, reached their maxima at pH 6.0-7.0, and decreased at pH 9.0. Comparison of the intensities among the 3-glucosides with five different aglycons and the 3-glycosides with three different sugar moieties at C-3 showed that their strongest intensities were given by the delphinidin aglycon and 3-rutinosyl moiety, respectively. Monitoring of the CL intensity of human blood plasma for 8 h after oral administration of black currant anthocyanins (BCA) showed a rapid increase until 2 h, and a significant difference (P < 0.05) was recognized at 1-8 h.

Screening of mango (Mangifera indica L.) cultivars for their contents of flavonol O- and xanthone C-glycosides, anthocyanins, and pectin.

With respect to their browning potential and in consideration of a combined recovery of pectin and phenolic compounds, peels of 14 cultivars and the flesh of nine cultivars of mango (Mangifera indica L.) fruits were analyzed for their contents of flavonol O- and xanthone C-glycosides by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-diode array detection-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). While total amounts of up to 4860 mg/kg dry matter demonstrated the peels to be a rich source of phenolic compounds, only traces could be detected in the flesh. The profile of flavonol glycosides of the peels proved to be highly characteristic and may therefore serve as a tool for authenticity control of mango puree concentrate, which is often produced from unpeeled fruits and represents an important intermediate for the production of mango nectars. Two compounds were isolated by preparative HPLC, and their structures were elucidated on the basis of ESI-MS as well as NMR spectroscopy, establishing the two compounds as rhamnetin 3-O-beta-galactopyranoside and rhamnetin 3-O-beta-glucopyranoside, respectively. In the peels of red-colored cultivars, cyanidin 3-O-galactoside and an anthocyanidin hexoside so far not reported in mango could tentatively be identified. The contents and degrees of esterification of pectins extracted from the lyophilized peels ranged from 12.2 to 21.2% and from 56.3 to 65.6%, respectively, suggesting mango peels also as a promising source of high-quality pectin.

Flavone C-glycosides from leaves of Oxalis triangularis.

The flavone C-glycosides luteolin 6-C-(2''-O-beta-xylopyranosyl-beta-glucopyranoside) (1), apigenin 6-C-(2''-O-alpha-rhamnopyranosyl-beta-glucopyranoside) (2), apigenin 6-C-(2''-O-beta-xylopyranosyl-beta-glucopyranoside) (3), apigenin 6-C-(2''-O-(6'''-(E)-caffeoylglucoside)-beta-glucopyranoside) (4), and apigenin 6-C-(2''-O-(6'''-(E)-p-coumaroylglucoside)-beta-glucopyranoside) (5) have been isolated from the purple leaves of Oxalis triangularis. Compound 4 is new, while 5 has previously been isolated from Cucumis sativus after treatment with silicon and infection with Sphaerotheca fuliginea. Signal duplication in the NMR spectra of 2, 4, and 5 revealed the presence of rotameric conformers, created by rotational hindrance at the C(sp3) -C(sp2) glucosyl-flavone linkage in these flavone C-glycosides.

Açai (Euterpe oleracea Mart.) polyphenolics in their glycoside and aglycone forms induce apoptosis of HL-60 leukemia cells.

The effects of açai polyphenolics on the antiproliferation and induction of apoptosis in HL-60 human leukemia cells were investigated. Interactions between anthocyanins and non-anthocyanin-polyphenolics in both their glycosidic and their aglycone forms were also investigated to determine additive or nonadditive responses. Polyphenolic fractions at 0.17-10.7 microM were found to reduce cell proliferation from 56 to 86% likely due to caspase-3 activation (apoptosis). Anthocyanin and polyphenolic fractions were nonadditive in their contribution to the cell antiproliferation activity. At equimolar concentrations, the glycosidic forms of phenolic acids and flavonoids induced a higher magnitude of change in cell parameters (proliferation and apoptosis) than their respective aglycone forms, while the opposite trend was observed for anthocyanin aglycones. This study demonstrated that açai offers a rich source of bioactive polyphenolics and confirmed the importance of investigating whole food systems when evaluating the potential health benefits of individual phytochemical compounds.

Supercritical fluid extraction of grape glycosides.

Supercritical fluid extraction with methanol-modified CO(2) was used to extract glycosides from grapes. An optimization design involving 12 extraction variables was applied to achieve quantitative recoveries. The most important factor was the amount of organic modifier, a consequence of the high degree of glycoside polarity. By the proposed method, the total time of analysis can be decreased relative to that required for more conventional extractions. The full method can also be automated.

LC-ESI-MS study of the flavonoid glycoside malonates of red clover (Trifolium pratense).

High-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS) was applied to the analysis of the flavonoids and their glycoside malonates of the flowers and leaves of red clover (Trifolium pratense). Through LC-MS comparative studies on the plant extracts and their malonate-free extracts, approximately 20 flavonoid glycoside malonates were detected in the flower extract. Eight were identified as genistin 6' '-O-malonate (39), formononetin 7-O-beta-D-glucoside 6' '-O-malonate (40), biochanin A 7-O-beta-D-glucoside 6' '-O-malonate (41), trifoside 6' '-O-malonate (42), irilone 4'-O-beta-D-glucoside 6' '-O-malonate (43), pratensein 7-O-beta-D-glucoside 6' '-O-malonate (44), isoquercitrin 6' '-O-malonate (45), and 3-methylquercetin 7-O-beta-D-glucoside 6' '-O-malonate (46). About 15 other flavonoids and clovamides were proved to be present in this extract. The study also found that the flowers contained flavones as the major flavonoids, whereas the leaves had isoflavones as the major flavonoids. This is the first detection of the six malonates (39 and 42-46) in the extracts of red clover, and among them, 42, 43, and 46 are new compounds.

Pregnanes that bind to the digitalis receptor: synthesis of 14-hydroxy-5 beta,14 beta-pregnane glycosides from digitoxin and digitoxigenin.

The preparation of the mono-, bis-, and trisdigitoxosides of 14-hydroxy-5 beta,14 beta-pregnan-20-one and 14,20 beta-dihydroxy-5 beta,14 beta-pregnane by two routes, based on the conversion of the alpha,beta-unsaturated gamma-lactone in digitoxin to the 20-ketone and 20 beta-alcohol by ozonolysis and zinc-acetic acid treatment followed by lithium tri-tert-butoxyaluminum hydride reduction, are described. Synthesis of the alpha-L-rhamnoside derivatives is described also. Structures were confirmed by 1H and 13C NMR spectra. These derivatives show strong interaction with the cardiac glycoside receptor of heart muscle in an [3H]ouabain radioligand binding assay. Structure-activity relationships which are reported for glycosides and genins show that the alpha-L-rhamnoside derivatives are more potent than the beta-D-digitoxoside or the beta-D-glucoside and that the beta-D-glucosides are more potent than the mono-, bis-, and trisdigitoxosides. Potency is not increased by the addition of the second and third digitoxose units.

10-Acetyl-10-hydroxyxantho[2,3-f]tetralin 8-glycosides as angular chromophore analogues of anthracyclines: synthesis, redox properties, microsomal oxygen consumption, and antileukemic evaluation.

10-Acetyl-7,8-dihydroxyxantho[2,3-f]tetralin is obtained by photo-Fries rearrangement of an acylated and double ketal protected tetralin followed by sodium thiocresylate catalyzed rearrangement of the resulting benzoyltetralin. Introduction of the 10-hydroxy function with base, triethyl phosphite, and molecular oxygen affords six products. These include the desired epimeric 10-acetyl-7,8,10-trihydroxyxantho[2,3-f]tetralins in addition to products resulting from novel valence tautomerism and cycloreversion reactions in the oxidation reaction. Glycosidic coupling to the fully functionalized cis-8,10-dihydroxy epimer of the aglycon to protected chlorodaunosamine by a modified Koenigs-Knorr method proceeded satisfactorily. By contrast the epimeric trans-8,10-dihydroxy compound failed to undergo coupling under these conditions. This is attributed to facile competing intramolecular hemiketal formation in the latter case. The new angular glycosides are very resistant to electrochemical reduction and display very low (3-10%) augmentation of hepatic microsomal oxygen consumption relative to doxorubicin. The observed, albeit low, cytotoxicity against leukemia L1210 in cell culture provides an additional example where the presence of the quinone moiety in the parent anthracyclines, which is implicated in the clinical cardiotoxicity, may not be necessary for the expression of anticancer properties.

Structure-activity relationships of aminoalkyl and -aryl glycosides having insulin-like activity.

A number of alkyl, aryl, and aralkyl glycosides (mono- and disaccharides) substituted in the aglycon with a primary amino group have been found to exert insulin-like activity on rat adipocytes in vitro. Systematic variations in the saccharide configuration, glycosidic linkage, aglycon moiety, and sugar substitution pattern were investigated to delineate structure-activity relationships. A high degree of structural specificity was observed. Maximal insulin mimicking activity was obtained with the 6-aminohexyl 1-thio-D-mannopyranosides; the beta anomer was more active than the alpha anomer. Modification of the sugar hydroxyl groups resulted, in most cases, in partial or complete loss of biological activity at the levels tested; however, in a few instances, sugar-modified derivatives did show enhanced insulin-like effects. Specific structural types evaluated are discussed in greater detail. 6-Aminohexyl 1-thio-beta-D-mannopyramoside also exhibited in vivo insulin-like effects on both diaphragm muscle and omental adipose tissues. The specificities for the sugar as well as the aglycon portions of these carbohydrate derivatives suggest that both parts of the molecule are involved in the expression of the full biological activity observed; their respective roles in the mechanism of the insulin-like activity are discussed.

Synthesis and antitumor activity of new glycosides of epipodophyllotoxin, analogues of etoposide, and NK 611.

A series of 3-amino- and 3-alkylamino-2-deoxy-beta-D-ribo- and beta-D-arabino-glycosides of 4'-demethylepipodophyllotoxin have been synthesized by means of an improved trimethylsilyliodide procedure for the podophyllotoxin-4'-demethylepipodophyllotoxin conversion, an efficient and high yielding synthesis of silyl glycoside donors of 3-azido-2,3-dideoxy-beta-D-ribo- and beta-D-arabino-hexopyranosides and stereoselective glycosylations. In vitro evaluation of cytotoxic effects against murine L1210 leukemia critically demonstrates the essential role played by a 4,6-acetal for biological activity. Among the most cytotoxic compounds, 3-amino-2,3-dideoxy- and 3-N, N-(dimethylamino)-2,3-dideoxy etoposide analogues, 17 and 27-29 are at least as potent as etoposide on the in vivo P388 (iv/ip) murine leukemia models. However, surprisingly enough, none of these compounds inhibits the human DNA topoisomerases I or II or binds to tubulin to prevent its polymerization and microtubule assembly. Therefore, their mechanism of action remains to be cleared up.

Stereospecific synthesis of alpha- and beta-C-glycosides from glycosyl sulfoxides: scope and limitations.

C-Glycosides derived from alpha-L-fuco-, alpha-D-gluco-, beta-D-gluco-, and alpha-D-mannopyranose have been synthesized from the corresponding glycosyl phenyl sulfoxide through phenylsulfinyl-lithium exchange, to generate an anomeric carbanion, and subsequent reaction with a carbon electrophile. The reactions were stereospecific and proceeded with retention of the configuration at the anomeric center. Improved yields of C-glycosides were obtained by an inverse addition protocol. Trapping of the anomeric carbanion with aldehydes gave best results. Reaction with ketones, chloroformates, nitriles, and alkyl halides was also explored. Mechanistic aspects of the reaction are discussed.

Glycoside-clustering round calixarenes toward the development of multivalent ligands. Synthesis and conformational analysis of Calix[4]arene O- and C-glycoconjugates.

Bis- and tetra-O- and C-glycosyl calixarenes (calixsugars) have been prepared by tethering carbohydrate moieties to a tetrapropoxycalix[4]arene scaffold through alkyl chains. Two methodologies have been employed. One consisted of the stereoselective multiple glycosylation of upper rim calix[4]arene polyols leading to calix-O-glycosides; the other involved a multiple Wittig olefination of upper rim calix[4]arene-derived polyaldehydes by the use of sugar phosphoranes and reduction of the alkene double bonds affording calix-C-glycosides. The NMR spectra and NOE experiments of bis-glycosylated products indicate that compounds bearing sugar-protected residues exist preferentially in solution in a flattened cone arrangement (far conformation) whereas deprotected derivatives adopt a close conformation. Calculations by molecular mechanics of the latter compounds point to a close conformation as well in gas phase.

One-pot conversion of glycals to cis-1,2-isopropylidene-alpha-glycosides.

Described is a general method for the conversion of glycals to the corresponding 1,2-cis-isopropylidene-alpha-glycosides. Epoxidation of glycals with dimethyldioxirane followed by ZnCl(2)-catalyzed addition of acetone converted a variety of protected glycals into 1,2-cis-isopropylidene-alpha-glycosides in good yield. The reaction is compatible with a range of protecting groups, including esters, benzyl ethers, and silyl ethers, as well as free hydroxyl groups. This method has been applied to develop a synthesis of protected glucuronic acid 1, a key intermediate in the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans. Compound 1 was produced in seven steps and 32% overall yield.
