A two-step strategy for disaccharide modulation using vancomycin as a model is reported. The strategy relies upon a glycosyltransferase-catalyzed 'reverse' reaction to enable the facile attachment of an alkoxyamine-bearing sugar to the vancomycin core. Neoglycosylation of the corresponding aglycon led to a novel set of vancomycin 1,6-disaccharide variants. While the in vitro antibacterial properties of corresponding vancomycin 1,6-disaccharide analogs were equipotent to the parent antibiotic, the chemoenzymatic method presented is expected to be broadly applicable.
本文报道了一种两步策略,使用万古霉素作为模型来调节二糖。该策略依赖于糖基转移酶催化的“反向”反应,从而能够轻松地将带有烷氧基胺的糖连接到万古霉素核心上。相应的去糖基化产物的糖基化导致了一组新型的万古霉素 1,6-二糖变体。虽然相应的万古霉素 1,6-二糖类似物的体外抗菌性能与母体抗生素相当,但所提出的化学酶法预计具有广泛的适用性。
