A flavinium catalyst, in conjunction with hydrogen peroxide as stoichiometric oxidant, allowed the aqueous conversion of non-protected thioglycosides into the corresponding glycosyl sulfoxides. These glycosyl sulfoxides displayed only very weak inhibitory activity against corresponding glycosidases.

A strategy for the synthesis of 1--substituted thioglycals was developed from cyclic carbohydrate-derived ketene dithioacetals in a four-step sequence. The corresponding thioglycals, in two carbohydrate series, were first obtained by removal of the exocyclic glycosyl sulfoxide, followed by treatment with an organolithium reagent. Various electrophilic groups were introduced onto the thioglycal double bond after deprotonation and formation of a glycosyl lithium intermediate.

This study assesses the transformation and stability of polyphenols, sulforaphane, and indoles in a fermented beverage made from broccoli leaves during gastrointestinal digestion (GID). This process was simulated using a dialysis membrane to assess intestinal absorption. The total phenolic compounds (TPC) and antioxidant TEAC assays showed an increase in phytochemical content due to the GID process.

Article Synopsis
  • Research shows that vitexin, a glycosylated flavonoid, can reduce seizures in rats induced by pentylenetetrazole (PTZ).
  • The study aimed to explore the long-term effects of vitexin on PTZ-induced epilepsy in rats through repeated doses.
  • Results indicated that chronic treatment with vitexin lowered seizure severity without negatively impacting kidney or liver function, similar to diazepam.

Sulfoxides have emerged as pivotal constituents in modern carbohydrate chemistry. As anomeric leaving groups, sulfinyl moieties may occupy positions directly at the anomeric position or at a more remote site. This feature article is focused on the evolution and notable advancements of glycosyl sulfoxide donors in glycosylation reactions.

We have developed a highly effective glycosylation method that involves the activation of 2-(2-propylsulfinyl)benzyl 1,2-orthoester glycosides using triflic anhydride (TfO). Our research indicates that half of the glycosyl donor is activated through TfO via an interrupted Pummerer reaction mechanism, while the remaining portion is activated by triflic acid (TfOH) generated . As a result, as little as 0.
