2-Imino-2-methoxyethyl 1-thioglycosides: new reagents for attaching sugars to proteins.

Cyanomethyl 1-thioglycosides ofD-galactose, D-glucose, 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose, and D-mannose were prepared from the respective pseudothiourea derivatives and chloroacetonitrile. The nitrile group in these cyanomethyl thioglycosides can be converted to a methyl imidate group by treatment with sodium methoxide or HC1 in dry methanol to yield 2-imino-2-methoxyethyl 1-thioglycosides (IME-thioglycosides). The factors influencing the yield of IME-thioglycosides were investigated. The most convenient method of preparing IME-thioglycosides was treating 0.1 M cyanomethyl thioglycoside peracetate in dry methanol with 0.01 M sodium methoxide at room temperature for 24-48 h (50-60% yield). These IME-thioglycosides reacted readily with simple amines, amino acids, and proteins in mildly alkaline buffer solutions. Alpha-amylase and lysozyme modified with these reagents under appropriate conditions retained full activities. Thus the IME-thioglycosides constitute a new group of reagents for attaching sugars to proteins.

Mechanistic studies and methods to prevent aglycon transfer of thioglycosides.

Thioglycosides have been employed extensively for the synthesis of complex oligosaccharides, carbohydrate libraries, and mimetics of O-glycosides. While very useful, aglycon transfer is a problematic side reaction with thioglycosides. In this paper, a series of mechanistic studies are described. The aglycon transfer process is shown to affect both armed and disarmed thioglycosides, cause anomerization of the carbon-sulfur bond of a thioglycoside, and destroy the product of a glycosylation reaction. The results indicate that the aglycon transfer process can be a major problem for a wide range of thioglycosides. This side reaction is especially important to consider when carrying out complex reactions such as solid-phase glycosylations, one-pot or orthogonal multicomponent glycosylations, and construction of carbohydrate libraries. To prevent transfer, a number of modified aglycons were examined. The 2,6-dimethylphenyl (DMP) aglycon was found to effectively block transfer in a variety of model studies and glycosylation reactions. The DMP group can be installed in one step from a commercially available thiol (2,6-dimethylthiophenol) and is useable as a glycosyl donor. On the basis of these features, the DMP group is proposed as a convenient and improved aglycon for thioglycosides.

Synthesis of fluorescent and radioactive analogues of two lactosylceramides and glucosylceramide containing beta-thioglycosidic bonds that are resistant to enzymatic degradation.

Condensation of 2-S-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-beta-D-galactopyranosyl)-2- thiopseudourea hydrobromide with 2,3,6-tri-O-benzoyl-4-O-trifluoromethylsulfonyl-beta-D-galactopyra nosyl- (1-->1)-(2S,3R,4E)-3-O-benzoyl-2-dichloroacetamido-4-octa decen-1,3-diol afforded S-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-beta-D-galactopyranosyl)-(1-->4)-2,3,6-tri-O- benzoyl-4-thio-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->1)-(2S,3R,4E)-3-O-benzoy l-2- dichloroacetamido-4-octadecen-1,3-diol in good yield. Removal of the protecting groups, followed by selective N-acylation of the sphingosine amino group with either a fluorescent or a radioactive fatty acid, gave labeled lactosylceramide analogues in good yield. Since these products contained a beta-thioglycosidic bond between the two sugar moieties, they were totally resistant to the action of acid lysosomal glycosidases. Likewise, condensation of 2-S-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-2- thiopseudourea hydrobromide and 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-(1-->4)-2,3,6- tri-O-acetyl-1-S-acetyl-1-thio-beta-D-glucopyranose with (2R,3R,4E)-3-O-benzoyl-2-dichloroacetamido-1-iodo-4-octad ecen-3-ol in methanolic sodium acetate afforded the corresponding beta-thioglycosides 14 and 16, respectively, in good yield. These beta-thioglycosides were converted into glucosylceramide and lactosylceramide analogues following removal of the protecting groups and by subsequent selective N-acylation using either a fluorescent or adioactive fatty acid N-succinimidyl ester. Whereas the glucosylthioceramides thus obtained proved to be completely undegradable by lysosomal glucocerebrosidase, the lactosylceramides containing the beta-thioglycosidic bond between the lactose and the ceramide residues could be degraded by lysosomal GM1-beta-galactosidase to give the corresponding glucosylthioceramides. These compound did not yield to any further enzymatic degradation.

Effect of some new thioglycosides on endotoxin-induced disseminated intravascular coagulation in rabbits.

Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a systemic thrombohemorrhagic disorder seen in association with many clinical situations, e.g. sepsis, malignancy, obstetrical complications and intravascular hemolysis. In our model, disseminated intravascular coagulation was induced in rabbits by two consecutive intravenous bolus injections of endotoxin from Escherichia coli, 80 and 40 microg/kg. The control group was treated with 0.9% saline. The activity of thioglycosides was compared to unfractionated heparin (UFH) and efegatran with and without administration of endotoxin. Drugs were administered in the following doses: heparin 50 and 100 IU/kg/h i.v. infusion; efegatran 0.25 and 0.5 mg/kg/h i.v. infusion; GYKI 39521 (RGH-1875) as well as GYKI 39541 (RGH-1962) 12.5 and 25 mg/kg per os. Thioglycosides did not modify coagulation parameters in this model [prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT)] as compared with endotoxin/vehicle group. The changes in TFPI level after administration of thioglycosides and heparin were similar in the mentioned model to those without endotoxin. Endotoxin-induced changes of leukocyte count were not affected by GYKI 39521 and GYKI 39541 treatment in our model. Diminution of fibrinogen level and platelet count was prevented by GYKI 39521 and GYKI 39541. Fibrin degradation products and fibrinolysis were significantly decreased by GYKI 39521 and GYKI 39541. The thioglycosides may have a lower risk of bleeding in the treatment of disseminated intravascular coagulation than heparin.

Preparation of some new neoglycoproteins by amidination of bovine serum albumin using 2-imino-2-methoxyethyl 1-thioglycosides.

The cyanomethyl 1-thioglycosides of beta-D-galactose, 6-O-methyl-beta-D-galactose, alpha-L-arabinose, beta-D-fucose, beta-L-fucose, beta-D-glucose, beta-D-xylose, beta-D-allose, alpha-D-mannose, 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucose, 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-galactose, 2-deoxy-beta-D-glucose, and 3-O-methyl-beta-D-glucose were prepared from the respective pseudothiourea derivatives and chloroacetonitrile. The nitrile function in the aglycon of the cyanomethyl 1-thioglycosides was converted to a methyl imido ester by treatment with sodium methoxide in methanolic solutions, thereby affording the 2-imino-2-methoxyethyl 1-thioglycosides [Lee, Y.C., Stowell, C.P., & Krantz, M.J. (1976) Biochemistry 15, 3956-3963]. The stability of these reagents was investigated. The 2-imino-2-methoxyethyl 1-thioglycosides were then used to attach carbohydrates to bovine serum albumin. Amidination could be accomplished within a few hours in a pH range of 7-10. The extent of amidination could be controlled by varying the ratio of imido ester to protein amino group. These new neoglycoproteins were used to determine stereospecificity of the rabbit hepatic carbohydrate-binding system [Stowell, C.P., Lee, R.T., & Lee, Y.C. (1980) Biochemistry (following paper in this issue)].

O-GlcNAcase catalyzes cleavage of thioglycosides without general acid catalysis.

O-GlcNAcase catalyzes the removal of N-acetylglucosamine residues from serine and threonine residues of post-translationally modified proteins using a catalytic mechanism involving substrate-assisted catalysis and general acid/base catalysis. Since thioglycosides are widely perceived as resistant to hydrolysis by glycosidases, it was surprising to find that O-GlcNAcase also catalyzes the efficient hydrolysis of S-glycosides. Brønsted analyses and pH-activity studies of the O-GlcNAcase-catalyzed hydrolysis of a series of aryl S- and O-glycosides reveal that O-GlcNAcase effects hydrolysis of thioglycosides without the assistance of general acid catalysis. alpha-Deuterium kinetic isotope effects for O- and S-glycosides, as well as Taft-like analyses using N-fluoroacetyl-beta-glycosides, suggest that O-GlcNAcase accomplishes hydrolysis of thioglycosides by stabilizing late transition states. For S-glycosides this transition state shows greater nucleophilic participation from the 2-acetamido group than for O-glycosides. The rate constants governing the O-GlcNAcase-catalyzed hydrolysis of O- and S-glycosides as compared to those previously determined for the spontaneous hydrolysis of structurally similar O,O- and O,S-acetals show a similar ratio. O-GlcNAcase therefore demonstrates similar catalytic proficiency toward both O- and S-glycosides. We conclude that O-GlcNAcase is a bifunctional catalyst capable of efficiently cleaving thioglycosides without general acid catalysis, an observation that may have biological implications.

Odorless benzenethiols in synthesis of thioglycosides and its application for glycosylation reactions.

p-Octyloxybenzenethiol (2) was synthesized as a new odorless benzenethiol. Moreover, preparation of thioglycosides using 2 and their application for glycosylation reactions were attempted. As a result, it was found that the thioglycosides were as excellent glycosyl donors as 4-dodecylphenyl 1-thio-glycosides, which were previously reported by our group, and more useful than the previous donors in terms of fine chemistry in glycosylation reaction activated with silver triflate and N-iodosuccinimide (NIS). In addition, this method was applicable to the sialylation with NIS and triflic acid. All procedures from the preparation of thioglycosides to the glycosylation reaction could be attained completely under conditions where no malodor was generated.

Catalytic ceric ammonium nitrate mediated synthesis of 2-deoxy-1-thioglycosides.

Synthesis of 2-deoxy-1-thioglycosides from glycals, mediated by catalytic amounts of ceric ammonium nitrate is reported. Apart from the 2-deoxy-1-thioglycosides, formation of the 2,3-unsaturated enose, corresponding to the Ferrier product, is also observed, especially for the glucal substrates. A radical oxocarbenium ion and a thiolate intermediates are most likely to mediate the reaction. Upon synthesis of 2-deoxy-1-thioglycosides, few representative glycosylation reactions with both aglycosyl and glycosyl acceptors were performed and alpha-anomeric 2-deoxy glycosides were obtained exclusively.

A mild and convenient indium(III) chloride-catalyzed synthesis of thioglycosides.

The efficiency of glycosidation reactions generally involves a high chemical yield, as well as high/complete stereo- and regioselectivity. All these depend on the compatibility of the reactivity of glycosyl donors and acceptors. Among glycosyl donors, thioglycosides are widely used because of their high degree of stability in many organic reactions. Although there are number of methods available for the preparation of thioglycosides, all of them have one or more disadvantages, especially concerning the time factor and cumbersome workup procedures. Here we report a convenient and high-yielding method for the preparation of thioglycosides.

Thioglycosides protected as trans-2,3-cyclic carbonates in chemoselective glycosylations.

Thioglycosides protected as trans-2,3-cyclic carbonates have significantly lower anomeric reactivities than fully acylated and N-acyl-protected thioglycosides and can be used as acceptors in chemoselective glycosylations with a wide range of thioglycosyl donors. The resulting thioglycosides can be further activated to give 1,2-cis-linked glycosides. [reaction: see text]

Benzeneselenenyl triflate as an activator of thioglycosides for glycosylation reactions.

A new method for the activation of thioglycosides was developed by use of benzeneselenenyl triflate (PhSeOTf), which, upon reaction with either a primary or secondary sugar HO-group, afforded O-glycosides under extremely mild reaction conditions. The reaction was applicable to various l-thiohexosides 2-6 as well as to a 2-thioglycoside 20 derived from N-acetylneuraminic acid (NeuAc).

The design and synthesis of antibody binding site probes: three pentasaccharide analogues of the Brucella A antigen prepared by activation in situ of thioglycosides with bromine.

Three pentasaccharide analogues of the Brucella A antigen [----2)-alpha-D-Rhap4NFo-(1----], each with one formamido group replaced by a hydroxyl group, have been prepared as their methyl glycosides. Mono- and di-saccharide thioglycosides of D-rhamnose and 4-azido-4,6-dideoxy-D-mannose were used as glycosyl donors for the preparation of protected pentasaccharide derivatives with trisaccharides as intermediates. Glycosylations were performed by activation in situ of the thioglycosides with bromine in the presence of a glycosyl acceptor and silver triflate as promoter. Reduction of the azido groups with hydrogen sulfide. N-formylation with ethyl formate, and hydrogenolysis then gave the target pentasaccharides.

Highly efficient synthesis of 1-thioglycosides in solution and solid phase using iminophosphorane bases.

Disaccharides of 1-thioglycosides, an important class of glycomimics, can be synthesized by direct S-alkylation in exceptionally high yields when iminophosphorane bases are employed. The reaction conditions employed appear to be general and stereospecific. Axial and equatorial 4-triflates and primary tosylates of alkyl pyranosides provided excellent yields of thio-disaccharides without substantial elimination products. The iminophosphorane bases also proved to be useful in solid support-bound couplings of thioglycosides though with lower efficiency.
