Novel water-soluble half-sandwich ruthenium(II) polypyridyl-glycoconjugates [Ru(p-cymene)Cl{N-(1,10-phenanthroline-5-yl)-β-glycopyranosylamine}][Cl] (glycopyranosyl = d-glucopyranosyl (1), D-mannopyranosyl (2), L-rhamnopyranosyl (3) and l-xylopyranosyl (4)) have been synthesized and fully characterized. Their behaviour in water under physiological conditions has been studied by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, revealing their hydrolytic stability. Interactions of the novel compounds with duplex-deoxiribonucleic acid (dsDNA) were investigated by different techniques and the results indicate that, under physiological pH and saline conditions, the metal glycoconjugates bind DNA in the minor groove and/or through external, electrostatic interactions, and by a non-classical, partial intercalation mechanism in non-saline phosphate buffered solution. Effects of compounds 1-4 on cell viability have been assessed in vitro against two human cell lines (androgen-independent prostate cancer PC-3 and non-tumorigenic prostate RWPE-1), showing moderate cytotoxicities, with IC values higher than those found for free ligands [N-(1,10-phenanthroline-5-yl)-β-glycopyranosylamine] (glycopyranosyl = d-glucopyranosyl (a), D-mannopyranosyl (b), L-rhamnopyranosyl (c) and l-xylopyranosyl (d)) or corresponding metal-aglycone. Cell viability was assayed in the presence and absence of the glucose transporters (GLUTs) inhibitor [N-{1-(4-cyanobenzyl)-5-methyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl}-7-fluoroquinoline-2,4-dicarboxamide] (BAY-876), and the results point to a negligible impact of the inhibition of GLUTs on the cytotoxicity caused by Ru(II) compounds 1-4. Remarkably, glycoconjugates 1-4 potently affect the migration pattern of PC-3 cells, and the wound healing assay evidence that the presence of the carbohydrate and the Ru(II) center is a requisite for the anti-migratory activity observed in these novel derivatives. In addition, derivatives 1-4 strongly affect the matrix metalloproteinase MMP-9 activities of PC-3 cells, while proMMP-2 and especially proMMP-9 were influenced to a much lesser extent.

The chemical nature of contact ion pairs and solvent-separated ion pairs from 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-α-D-mannopyranosyl triflate was investigated at the DFT(M06-2X) level of theory. Comparison of the present results to those obtained for the D-glucopyranosyl counterpart in our previous study indicated that the ion pairs from the D-mannopyranosyl triflate adopt B2,5-like conformations more preferably than those from the D-glucopyranosyl triflate. Similarly, 1,6-anhydro-D-mannopyranosyl dioxacarbenium ions bearing a (1)C4 conformation were shown to be more stable than the D-glucopyranosyl counterparts.

The accumulation patterns and biosynthesis of compatible solutes in hyper/thermophiles have been extensively studied. However, there is little information available on their hydrolysis, leading us to search for enzymes for this activity. From the analysis of the genomes of several microorganisms known to accumulate α-D-mannopyranosyl-(1→2)-D-glycerate (mannosylglycerate, MG) or α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-D-glycerate (glucosylglycerate, GG) we were able to identify a likely candidate gene for the hydrolysis of these molecules.

In response to stressful conditions like supra-optimal salinity in the growth medium or temperature, many microorganisms accumulate low-molecular-mass organic compounds known as compatible solutes. In contrast with mesophiles that accumulate neutral or zwitterionic compounds, the solutes of hyperthermophiles are typically negatively charged. (2R)-2-(alpha-D-Mannopyranosyl)glycerate (herein abbreviated as mannosylglycerate) is one of the most widespread solutes among thermophilic and hyperthermophilic prokaryotes.

1-O-Allyloxycarbonyl (or ethyloxycarbonyl)-2-azido-2-deoxy-3-O-benzyl (or allyl, or benzoyl)-4,6-O-isopropylidene-beta-d-mannopyranose derivatives were prepared from the corresponding 2-hydroxy-beta-d-glucopyranosyl carbonates in high yields via triflation of the 2-hydroxyl group and subsequent SN2 displacement with azide ion. An N-acetyl-mannosamine-containing trisaccharide, a fragment of the putative O10 antigen from Acinetobacter baumannii, was efficiently synthesized using these derivatives.

Acid-catalysed methanolysis of 3,4,5,6-tetra-O-acetyl-1,2-dideoxy-l-arabino-hex-1-enitol proceeds via a cascade set of consecutive reactions resulting in its regiospecific conversion to a mixture of alpha- and beta-C-L-arabinofuranosylmethanal dimethyl acetals and a mixed internal methyl acetal. Structures of the final products of the overall process provide unique evidence that a kinetically controlled, five-membered-ring closure precedes a six-membered-ring closure in reversible systems capable of giving both five-membered and six-membered all-sp3-atom rings. Determination of the reaction intermediate enabled extension of the Nef reaction to C-glycosylnitromethanes.
