title: Synthesis of a 6(V)-sulfated mannopentasaccharide analogue related to PI-88.
abstract: An efficient and convergent synthesis of a regioselectively 6(V)-sulfated mannopentasaccharide derivative 1c, octyl 6-O-sulfo-alpha-D-mannopyranosyl-(1-->3)-alpha-D-mannopyranosyl-(1-->3)-alpha-d-mannopyranosyl-(1-->3)-alpha-D-mannopyranosyl-(1-->2)-alpha-D-mannopyranoside, was achieved by a '3 + 2' strategy. The target was designed to mimic the promising anticancer agent PI-88 and was obtained from the building blocks, octyl 3,4,6-tri-O-benzoyl-alpha-D-mannopyranoside, allyl 2,4,6-tri-O-benzoyl-3-O-(4-methoxybenzyl)-alpha-D-mannopyranoside, and 6-O-acetyl-2,3,4-tri-O-benzoyl-alpha-D-mannopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate (11), under TMSOTf-catalyzed glycosylation conditions. Compound 1c displays a mild anti-angiogenic activity based on a chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) model study.
