Methyl 6-C-alkyl-6-deoxy-alpha-D-mannofuranoside derivatives have been synthesized from methyl 2,3-O-isopropylidene-5,6-O-sulfuryl-alpha-D-mannofuranoside (1). In a Path A, reaction of the 5,6-cyclic sulfate 1 with 2-lithio-1,3-dithiane afforded 2-(methyl 6-deoxy-2,3-O-isopropylidene-alpha-D-mannofuranosid-6-yl)-1,3-dith iane (2). Treatment of 2 with n-butyllithium then alkyl iodide gave the corresponding 2-(methyl 5-O-alkyl-6-deoxy-2,3-O-isopropylidene-alpha-D-mannofuranosid-6-yl )-1,3- dithiane. Reaction of 2 with n-butyllithium and 5,6-cyclic sulfate 1 furnished 2-[methyl 6-deoxy-2,3-O-isopropylidene-5-O-(methyl 6-deoxy-2,3-O-isopropylidene-alpha-D-manno-furanosid-6-yl)-alpha-D - mannofuranosid-6-yl]-1,3-dithiane. 2-(Methyl 6-deoxy-2,3-O-isopropylidene-5-O-methyl-alpha-D-mannofuranosid- 6-yl)-1,3-dithiane was converted into the lithiated anion, which after treatment with alkyl halide afforded the corresponding 2-alkyl-C-(methyl 6-deoxy-2,3-O-isopropylidene-5-O-methyl-alpha-D-mannofuranosid-6-y l)-1,3- dithiane. In a Path B, 5,6-cyclic sulfate 1 reacted with 2-alkyl-2-lithio-1,3-dithiane derivatives, which led after acidic hydrolysis to 2-alkyl-2-(methyl 6-deoxy-2,3-O-isopropylidene-alpha-D-mannofuranosid-6-yl)-1,3-dith iane accompanied by methyl 6-deoxy-2,3-O-isopropylidene-alpha-D-lyxo-hexofuranos-5-u loside as the by-product. This methodology was applied to synthesize 2-(methyl 6-deoxy-2,3-O-isopropylidene-5-O-methyl-alpha-D-mannofuranosid-6-y l)-2- (methyl 6-deoxy-2,3-O-isopropylidene-alpha-D-mannofuranosid-6-yl)-1,3-dith iane.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infects cells by attaching to heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG) and Na/taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP). The endothelial lipase LIPG bridges HSPG and HBV, facilitating HBV attachment. From a randomized peptide expression library, we identified a short sequence binding to LIPG.

Background: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a heterogeneous disease composed of different endotypes. It is important to develop useful biomarkers for endotyping UC; however, available biomarkers are insufficient. We have already established that periostin is a surrogate biomarker of type 2 inflammation.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a complex gastrointestinal disorder attributed to genetic and environmental factors. Microcystin-leucine-arginine (MC-LR) is an environmental toxin that accumulates in the gut and produces intestinal damage. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of exposure to MC-LR on development and progression of IBD as well examine the underlying mechanisms of microcystin-initiated tissue damage.

Inflammatory bowel disease is a collection of intestinal disorders that cause inflammation in the digestive tract. Prolonged inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract is a major risk factor for colorectal cancer. The objective of this study was to fucus on gene expression levels of (KRT-14; associated with epithelial cell integrity) and enhancer of zeste homolog-1 (EZH-2; involved in cellular proliferation) in a IBD rat model in order to rule out impact of nutraceuticals (pumpkin seed oil; PSO) as a complementary approach to conventional treatments of IBD.

Lysosomal storage disorders characterized by defective heparan sulfate (HS) degradation, such as Mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIA-D (MPS-IIIA-D), result in neurodegeneration and dementia in children. However, dementia is preceded by severe autistic-like behaviours (ALBs), presenting as hyperactivity, stereotypies, social interaction deficits, and sleep disturbances. The absence of experimental studies on ALBs' mechanisms in MPS-III has led clinicians to adopt symptomatic treatments, such as antipsychotics, which are used for non-genetic neuropsychiatric disorders.
