Abstract: | Five disaccharides related in structure to the glycans of vertebrate mucins have been chemically synthesized using orthogonal blocking, coupling and deblocking techniques. These include 2-naphthylmethyl 3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-( 1 --> 4)-2-acetamido-3,6-di-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranoside (6), 2-naphthylmethyl 2-aceta-mido-3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 --> 3)-2,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside (14), 2-naph-thylmethyl2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-(1 --> 3)-2-acetamido-4,6-di- O-acetyl-2-deoxy-alpha-D-galactopyranoside (20), 2-naphthylmethyl 2-acetamido-3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 --> 3)-2-acetamido-4,6-di-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-alpha-D-galactopyranoside (23) and 2-naphthylmethyl 2-acetamido-3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-beta-D-glu-copyranosyl-(1 --> 6)-2-acetamido-3,4-di-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-alpha-D-galactopyranoside (27). These per-O-acetylated compounds were fed to U-937 cells to test their ability to prime oligosaccharide synthesis, inhibit glycoprotein biosynthesis and alter adhesion to E-selectin expressed on endothelial cells. The results show that 6, 14, and 20 served as substrates for oligosaccharide synthesis. The generation of glycoside-primed glycans altered the formation of glycoproteins on the cell surface and inhibited cell adhesion dependent on E-selectin. |
