Low-Valent Calix[4]arene Glycoconjugates Based on Hydroxamic Acid Bearing Linkers as Potent Inhibitors in a Model of Ebola Virus Cis-Infection and HCMV-gB-Recombinant Glycoprotein Interaction with MDDC Cells by Blocking DC-SIGN
Abstract:In addition to a variety of viral-glycoprotein receptors (e.g., heparan sulfate, Niemann−Pick C1, etc.), dendritic cell-specific intercellular adhesion molecule-3-grabbing nonintegrin (DC-SIGN), from the C-type lectin receptor family, plays one of the most important pathogenic functions for a wide range of viruses (e.g., Ebola, human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), HIV-1, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, etc.) that invade host cells before replication; thus, its inhibition represents a relevant extrace… Show more
“…[4]arene heteroglycoclustersbased NAH. The following example (Scheme 8) uses the cone p-t Bu-calix [4]arene phenolic template that we have previously used as a preorganized scaffold to design homomultivalent LecB [16] and DC-SIGN [15,67,68] lectin antagonists. The selective 1,3bis-O-alkylation of cone p t Bu-calix [4]arene at the lower rim leaving the two remaining OH groups free is a well-known transformation that usually takes place in the presence of alkylating reagent and K 2 CO 3 as a base.…”

“…The latter brings together α‐L‐fucose and α‐D‐galactose branching from an N ‐Alk‐NAH bearing linker. Tetra‐azido 1,3‐ alt p ‐ t Bu‐thiacalix[4]arene 36 [15] (Scheme 9a) was used as a key intermediate having previously been used for the synthesis of strong inhibitors of DC‐SIGN‐dependent viral infections [15,68] . Firstly we synthesized tetra‐ester 37 in 70 % yield from 36 by a click reaction with an excess of propiolic methyl ester.…”

Orthogonal chemistry is a valuable tool in the preparation of complex molecules as heteroglycoclusters. Unfortunately, selective heteroconjugation of multifunctional starting materials remains a usually challenging problem to overcome. Herein, we report the first report on harnessing N‐alkylation of N‐acylhydrazone as a key step in the orthogonal synthesis. Sequentially associated with the azido‐alkyne click chemistry, it stands out as a new and straightforward synthetic method of glycoconjugate small molecules, heterodisaccharides, and heteroglycoclusters based on cone p‐tBu‐calix[4]arene and 1,3‐alt p‐tBu‐thiacalix[4]arene with potential drug‐like properties.
