Lewis (Le) is a branched trisaccharide Galβ1→4(Fucα1→3)GlcNAc that is expressed on many cell surface glycoproteins and plays critical roles in innate and adaptive immune responses. However, efficient synthesis of glycopeptides bearing Le remains a major limitation for structure-function studies of the Le determinant. Here we report a total synthesis of a Le pentasaccharide 1 using a regioselective 1-benzenesulfinyl piperidine/triflic anhydride promoted [3 + 2] glycosylation. The presence of an Fmoc-threonine amino acid facilitates incorporation of the pentasaccharide in solid phase peptide synthesis, providing a route to diverse O-linked Le glycopeptides. The described approach is broadly applicable to the synthesis of a variety of complex glycopeptides containing O-linked Le or sialyl Lewis (sLe).
Lewis(Le)是一种分支三糖Galβ1→4(Fucα1→3)GlcNAc,在许多细胞表面糖蛋白上表达,在先天性和适应性免疫反应中起关键作用。然而,有效合成带有Le的糖肽仍然是Le决定簇结构-功能研究的主要限制。在此,我们报道了使用区域选择性1-苯亚磺酰基哌啶/三氟甲磺酸酐促进的[3 + 2]糖基化反应全合成Le五糖1。Fmoc-苏氨酸氨基酸的存在有助于五糖在固相肽合成中的掺入,为多种O-连接的Le糖肽提供了一条途径。所描述的方法广泛适用于合成含有O-连接的Le或唾液酸化Lewis(sLe)的各种复杂糖肽。
