1-Azasugar analogues of l-iduronic acid (l-IdoA) and d-glucuronic acid (d-GlcA) and their corresponding enantiomers have been synthesized as potential pharmacological chaperones for mucopolysaccharidosis I (MPS I), a lysosomal storage disease caused by mutations in the gene encoding α-iduronidase (IDUA). The compounds were efficiently synthesized in nine or ten steps from d- or l-arabinose, and the structures were confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis of key intermediates. All compounds were inactive against IDUA, although l-IdoA-configured 8 moderately inhibited β-glucuronidase (β-GLU). The d-GlcA-configured 9 was a potent inhibitor of β-GLU and a moderate inhibitor of the endo-β-glucuronidase heparanase. Co-crystallization of 9 with heparanase revealed that the endocyclic nitrogen of 9 forms close interactions with both the catalytic acid and catalytic nucleophile.

Article Synopsis
  • Adlay seed bran, often wasted or used as animal feed, is studied for its properties and digestive effects, revealing potential benefits for human health.
  • Various extraction methods were tested, with enzyme-assisted solid-state fermentation (SSF) yielding the most effective adlay seed bran polysaccharides (ASBPs), specifically ASBP-CF, which had superior extraction rate and nutritional profile.
  • ASBP-CF demonstrated significant prebiotic effects, enhancing beneficial gut bacteria and short-chain fatty acid production, suggesting its role as a valuable dietary supplement for gut health improvement.

The anti-stomatitis effects of polysaccharides from natural sources have been relatively few reported. In this study, a polysaccharide RGP-5 A was isolated and purified from Rehmannia glutinosa, and its structural characteristics and anti-stomatitis activity were evaluated. The molecular weight of RGP-5 A was 1.

Marinobacter nauticus strain GH3 was isolated from the Red Sea, Sharm Elshiekh, and classified according to cultural attributes, biochemical properties, and the analysis of genetic relationships using 16 S rRNA sequences. A substantial proportion of exopolysaccharides (EPS) in GH3-EPS contained a sulfate content of 25.4%, uronic acid (12.

The historical dye Indian yellow, derived from euxanthic acid formed from 1,7-dihydroxyxanthone (euxanthone) and methyl (tri--acetyl-α-d-glucopyranosyl bromide) uronate, has significantly influenced the art world due to its vibrant color and unique production process. Studying Indian yellow is important for its historical relevance and impact on various art forms, as well as the challenges in its synthetic production. Herein, this work investigates the synthesis of the two main components, a novel method for obtaining euxanthone, and attempts to produce euxanthic acid and Indian yellow.

Article Synopsis
  • The research presents a new method for analyzing glycosidic linkages in polysaccharides from five types of brown seaweed, focusing on structuring their alcohol-insoluble residues (AIRs).
  • This method utilizes GC-MS analysis of partially methylated alditol acetates (PMAAs) to identify variations in fucose linkages across different seaweed species, harvest years, and treatments, revealing significant structural diversity.
  • It also improves cellulose quantification by addressing shortcomings in traditional methods, and introduces a pretreatment that helps detect uronic acid linkages in alginates more effectively.
