title: The C-disaccharide alpha-C(1-->3)-mannopyranoside of N-acetylgalactosamine is an inhibitor of glycohydrolases and of human alpha-1,3-fucosyltransferase VI. Its epimer alpha-(1-->3)-mannopyranoside of N-acetyltalosamine is not.
abstract: The radical C-glycosidation of (-)-(1S,4R,5R, 6R)-6-endo-chloro-3-methylidene-5-exo-(phenylseleno)-7-ox abi cyclo[2. 2.1]heptan-2-one ((-)-4) with 2,3,4, 6-tetra-O-acetyl-alpha-D-mannopyranosyl bromide gave (+)-(1S,3R,4R, 5R,6R)-6-endo-chloro-5-exo-(phenylseleno)-3-endo-(1',3',4', 5'-tetra-O-acetyl-2', 6'-anhydro-7'-deoxy-D-glycero-D-manno-heptitol-7'-C-yl)-7-oxabi cyc lo[ 2.2.1]hept-2-one ((+)-5) that was converted into (+)-(1R,2S,5R, 6R)-5-acetamido-3-chloro-2-hydroxy-6-(1',3',4',5'-tetra-O-acetyl)-2', 6'-anhydro-7'-deoxy-D-glycero-D-manno-heptitol-7'-C-yl)cyclohex -3-en- 1-yl acetate ((+)-10) and into (+)-(1R,2S,5R, 6S)-5-bromo-3-chloro-2-hydroxy-6-(1',3',4',5'-tetra-O-acetyl-2', 6'-anhydro-7'-deoxy-D-glycero-D-manno-heptitol-7'-C-yl)cyclohex -3-en- 1-yl acetate ((+)-19). Ozonolysis of (+)-10 and further transformations provided 2-acetamido-2,3-dideoxy-3-C-(2', 6'-anhydro-7'-deoxy-D-glycero-D-manno-heptitol-7'-C-yl)-D-galac tos e (alpha-C(1-->3)-D-mannopyranoside of N-acetylgalactosamine (alpha-D-Manp-(1-->3)CH(2)-D-GalNAc): 1). Displacement of the bromide (+)-19 with NaN(3) in DMF provided the corresponding azide ((-)-20) following a S(N)2 mechanism. Ozonolysis of (-)-20 and further transformations led to 2-acetamido-2,3-dideoxy-3-C-(2', 6'-anhydro-7'-deoxy-D-glycero-D-manno-heptitol-7'-C-yl)-D-talose (alpha-C(1-->3)-D-mannopyranoside of N-acetyl D-talosamine (alpha-D-Manp-(1-->3)CH(2)-D-TalNAc): 2). The neutral C-disaccharide 1 inhibits several glycosidases (e.g., beta-galactosidase from jack bean with K(i) = 7.5 microM, alpha-L-fucosidase from human placenta with K(i) = 28 microM, beta-glucosidase from Caldocellum saccharolyticum with K(i) = 18 microM) and human alpha-1, 3-fucosyltransferase VI (Fuc-TVI) with K(i) = 120 microM whereas it 2-epimer 2 does not. Double reciprocal analysis showed that the inhibition of Fuc-TVI by 1 displays a mixed pattern with respect to both the donor sugar GDP-fucose and the acceptor LacNAc with K(i) of 123 and 128 microM, respectively.
