“…To improve the yield, we explored trichloroacetimidate as the protecting group [24] of 3-OH of b-rhamnoside 11 rather than Bz so that C4 inversion could be achieved in situ upon triflation (Scheme 4). Thet hioglycoside 11 was treated with trichloroacetonitrile and 1, 8-diazabicyclo [5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) giving 15 in ay ield of 90 %.…”
With the infection rate of Bordetella pertussis at a 60‐year high, there is an urgent need for new anti‐pertussis vaccines. The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of B. pertussis is an attractive antigen for vaccine development. With the presence of multiple rare sugars and unusual glycosyl linkages, the B. pertussis LPS is a highly challenging synthetic target. In this work, aided by molecular dynamics simulation and modeling, a pertussis‐LPS‐like pentasaccharide was chemically synthesized for the first time. The pentasaccharide was conjugated with a powerful carrier, bacteriophage Qβ, as a vaccine candidate. Immunization of mice with the conjugate induced robust anti‐glycan IgG responses with IgG titers reaching several million enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) units. The antibodies generated were long lasting and boostable and could recognize multiple clinical strains of B. pertussis, highlighting the potential of Qβ‐glycan as a new anti‐pertussis vaccine.

“…Chemical shifts (δ) are reported in ppm relative to remaining solvent peak CDCl 3 (δ = 7.26 ppm) for 1 H NMR spectra. 13 C NMR chemical shifts (δ) are reported in ppm relative to CDCl 3 (δ = 77.00 ppm).…”
Section: Scheme 3 Glycosylation and Anomerization Through Endocyclicmentioning
2-Acetamido-4-amino-2,4,6-trideoxy-α-D-galactopyranoside (AAT), a unique aminated sugar unit, is often found in zwitterionic polysaccharides.Stereoselective formation of the 1,2-cis linkage of these unique sugar derivatives was achieved by an anomerization reaction based on an endocyclic cleavage process.
“…There have been attempts to synthesize the PS-A of B. fragilis, however, the complete repeating unit was not reached nor was the oligosaccharide deprotected. [8] In other work a blocked but not deprotected trisaccharide repeating unit of Sp1 has been reported. [9] Here we report the first completed chemical synthesis and deprotection of a zwitterionic polysaccharide trisaccharide repeating unit 1 and the corresponding hexasaccharide 19 containing two repeating units.…”
Zwitterionic polysaccharides (ZPSs) from Bacteroides fragilis and Streptococcus pneumoniae display unique T-cell activities. The first synthesis of a hexasaccharide representing two repeating units of the zwitterionic capsular polysaccharide from S. pneumoniae type 1 (Sp1) is reported. Key elements of the approach are stereoselective construction of 1,4-cis-alpha-galactose linkages based on a reactive trichloroacetimidate donor that incorporates a 6-O-acetyl group, which may contribute to the high alpha selectivity in glycosylation. After assembly of the fully protected hexasaccharide from five monosaccharide synthons 2-4, 24 and 25, selective deprotection of the primary hydroxyl groups of the four galactose residues followed by oxidation to the corresponding uronic acids provides hexasaccharide 19. The trisaccharide counterpart 1 was synthesized in similar fashion from three synthons, 2-4. This approach employed both conventional and dehydrative glycosylation methodologies and avoids the use of poorly reactive uronic acid derived glycosyl donors and acceptors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
