Article Abstract
The siglec family of sialic acid-binding proteins are endocytic immune cell receptors that are recognized as potential targets for cell directed therapies. CD33 and CD22 are prototypical members and are validated candidates for targeting acute myeloid leukaemia and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas due to their restricted expression on myeloid cells and B-cells, respectively. While nanoparticles decorated with high affinity siglec ligands represent an attractive platform for delivery of therapeutic agents to these cells, a lack of ligands with suitable affinity and/or selectivity has hampered progress. Herein we describe selective ligands for both of these siglecs, which when displayed on liposomal nanoparticles, can efficiently target the cells expressing them in peripheral human blood. Key to their identification was the development of a facile method for chemo-enzymatic synthesis of disubstituted sialic acid analogues, combined with iterative rounds of synthesis and rapid functional analysis using glycan microarrays.

Sialyl Lewis (sLe), also known as cancer antigen 19-9, is a tumor-associated carbohydrate antigen. In this article, chemical and chemoenzymatic syntheses of a tetrasaccharide glycan 1 structurally derived from sLe are reported. Challenges involved in the chemical synthesis include the highly stereoselective construction of 1,2--α-L-fucoside and α-D-sialoside, as well as the assembly of the 3,4-disubstituted -acetylglucosamine subunit.

With a view to facilitating prediction of the exocyclic bond to the pyranoside ring in higher carbon sugars, a model is advanced that relates the relative configuration of the three stereogenic centers comprised of the branchpoint and of the two flanking centers (C4-C5-C6 in aldoheptoses and higher and C5-C6-C7 in sialic and ulosonic acids) to that of the simple ring-opened pentoses. Assignment of a given stereotriad as arabino, lxyo, ribo, or xylo by inspection of the Fischer projection formulas permits prediction of conformation of the exocyclic bond by comparison with the known solution (= crystal in all cases) conformations of the simple pentitols. More remote stereogenic centers in the side chain, as in the 8-position of -acetylneuraminic acid, have little impact on the conformation of the exocyclic bond.

Novel 3,4-disubstituted-Neu5Ac2en derivatives have been synthesised to probe the open 150-loop conformation of influenza virus sialidases. Both equatorially and axially (epi) substituted C4 amino and guanidino 3-(p-tolyl)allyl-Neu5Ac2en derivatives were prepared, via the 4-epi-hydroxy derivative. The equatorially-substituted 4-amino derivative showed low micromolar inhibition of both group-1 (pdm09 H1N1) and group-2 (pdm57 H2N2) sialidases, and provides the first in vitro evidence that a group-2 sialidase may exhibit 150-loop flexibility.

This work describes the synthesis of a series of sialylmimetic neoglycoconjugates represented by 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazole-sialic acid derivatives containing galactose modified at either C-1 or C-6 positions, glucose or gulose at C-3 position, and by the amino acid derivative 1,2,3-triazole fused threonine-3-O-galactose as potential TcTS inhibitors and anti-trypanosomal agents. This series was obtained by Cu(I)-catalysed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction ('click chemistry') between the azido-functionalized sugars 1-N(3)-Gal (commercial), 6-N(3)-Gal, 3-N(3)-Glc and 3-N(3)-Gul with the corresponding alkyne-based 2-propynyl-sialic acid, as well as by click chemistry reaction between the amino acid N(3)-ThrOBn with 3-O-propynyl-GalOMe. The 1,2,3-triazole linked sialic acid-6-O-galactose and the sialic acid-galactopyranoside showed high Trypanosoma cruzitrans-sialidase (TcTS) inhibitory activity at 1.
