Alginates are brown algal polysaccharides consisting of β-D-mannuronic (M) and α-l-guluronic acid (G) residues linked with 1→4 glycosidic bonds. To functionalize these natural resources for biomedical use, alginates can be chemically modified, including by sulfation. Here regioselective sulfation of alginates at M-2 in DMSO with Py∙SO is described, by either sulfating alginates directly or through using alginates with added protecting groups (PG-s), including TBDMS-ether, Piv-, Bz-esters and intramolecular 3,6-lactone. Highest regioselectivity was found by sulfating TBDMS- and Piv-protected alginates, with over 65 % of M-residues being 2-O-sulfated. However significant reduction in molecular weight was found when alginates were sulfated in DMSO. Results from this work will allow a degree of control over substitution patterns in sulfated alginates. This will allow to more accurately determine structure-property relationships in biomedical research.

Three chondroitin sulfate (CS) analogues with predominant subtypes (A, C, and E) were prepared from engineered K4 combined with regioselective sulfation. CS with the designed sulfates as the main components was characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, elementary analysis, and disaccharide analysis. CS prepared from the native or degraded capsular polysaccharide had molecular weights of 1.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the antiviral activities of sulfonated polysaccharides, specifically focusing on the exocellular fungal glucan botryosphaeran and its regioselective sulfonation methods: mild sulfonation (MS) and pivaloyl ester (PS).
  • Two derivatives were created with different substitution patterns, showing varying degrees of sulfonation and specificities at C-6 for MS and C-2/C-4 for PS.
  • The MS derivative exhibited strong antiviral effects against Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), while PS showed no activity, highlighting that sulfate groups at the C-6 position enhance antiviral properties.

A Biomimetic Synthetic Strategy Can Provide Keratan Sulfate I and II Oligosaccharides with Diverse Fucosylation and Sulfation Patterns.

Keratan sulfate (KS) is a proteoglycan that is widely expressed in the extracellular matrix of various tissue types, where it performs multiple biological functions. KS is the least understood proteoglycan, which in part is due to a lack of panels of well-defined KS oligosaccharides that are needed for structure-binding studies, as analytical standards, to examine substrate specificities of keratinases, and for drug development. Here, we report a biomimetic approach that makes it possible to install, in a regioselective manner, sulfates and fucosides on oligo--acetyllactosamine (LacNAc) chains to provide any structural element of KS by using specific enzyme modules.

The synthesis of gram quantities of the TF antigen (β-ᴅ-Gal-(1→3)-α-ᴅ-GalNAc) and its 3'-sulfated analogue with a TEG-N spacer attached is described. The synthesis of the TF antigen comprises seven steps, from a known -Troc-protected galactosamine donor, with an overall yield of 31%. Both the spacer (85%) and the galactose moiety (79%) were introduced using thioglycoside donors in NIS/AgOTf-promoted glycosylation reactions.
