Globo H, a specific carbohydrate antigen overexpressed on various human malignancies, has attracted considerable interest as an antigenic target for anticancer vaccine development. Despite several Globo H-based carbohydrate vaccines that have been designed, efficient access to Globo H hexasaccharide antigen and development of powerful adjuvants for enhancing antitumor immunity remain challenging. Herein, we reported a streamlined chemoenzymatic approach to prepare this hexasaccharide antigen, relying on chemical synthesis of Gb5 pentasaccharide by a stereoconvergent [2+3] strategy and subsequent enzymatic α-fucosylation to easily install α1,2-fucose residue.

This study focuses on the synthesis of a series of oligo--(1→6)-D-galactopyranosides bearing -D-galactofuranosyl residues at O-2 and/or O-3, which relate structurally to fragments of glucuronoxylomannogalactan (GXMGal) from the fungal pathogen that causes severe diseases in immunocompromised patients. The preparation of target compounds is based on the use of a selectively O-protected N-phenyltrifluoroacetimidoyl galactopyranoside donor with an allyl group at O-2, levulinoyl group (Lev) at O-3, pentafluorobenzoyl (PFB) group at O-4, and fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) group at O-6. The choice of protecting groups for this donor ensures the stereospecific formation of (1→6)-glycosidic bonds due to the stereodirecting effect of acyls at O-3, O-4, and O-6.

Muscle tissue is stabilized by the strong interaction between laminin and matriglycan. Matriglycan is a polysaccharide composed of the repeating disaccharide, -3Xylα1-3GlcAβ1-, and is a pivotal part of the core M3 O-mannosyl glycan. Patients with muscular dystrophy cannot synthesize matriglycan or the core M3 O-mannosyl glycan due to a defect in or the lack of glycosyltransferases owing to glycan synthesis.

Article Synopsis
- A new mass spectrometry imaging technique allows for the detection and analysis of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in retinal tissue, overcoming previous limitations in spatial resolution.
- By using chondroitinase enzymes, researchers can extract and analyze various GAG oligosaccharides, ranging from disaccharides to hexasaccharides, directly from tissue sections.
- The study showcases the ability to resolve isomeric GAG oligosaccharides and their sulfation states across different tissue regions using a method called trapped ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS).
Total synthesis of a structurally complex zwitterionic hexasaccharide repeating unit of polysaccharide B from Bacteroides fragilis via one-pot glycosylation.

Zwitterionic polysaccharides (ZPSs) present on the surface of a common gut commensal Bacteroides fragilis are endowed with unique immunological properties as they can directly bind to T-cells in the absence of protein conjugation. ZPSs are therefore considered to be potential antigens for the development of totally carbohydrate-based vaccines. Herein, we disclose the first total synthesis of a highly branched phosphorylated zwitterionic capsular polysaccharide repeating unit of Bacteroides fragilis.
