Abstract
Vibrio cholerae is a pathogen responsible for the deadly pandemic - cholera. The glycans present on the surface of various strains of V. cholerae are considered as potential vaccine candidates. The tetrasaccharide repeating unit (RU) of V. cholerae O43 is decorated with less-explored rare deoxy amino sugars like d-quinosamine and d-viosamine, along with a rare amino acid, N-acetyl-l-allothreonine. Herein, we report a detailed account of the total synthesis of V. cholerae O43 tetrasaccharide RU. In our earlier attempt, while a one-pot assembly of trisaccharide was successful, the final coupling with a fully functionalized d-viosamine donor was low yielding. The successful route involved employing the Fmoc-protected d-viosamine building block as a donor and a late-stage amide bond formation of the tetrasaccharide.

Abstract
The evaluation of Bacteroides vulgatus mpk (BVMPK) lipopolysaccharide (LPS) recognition by DC-SIGN, a key lectin in mediating immune homeostasis, has been here performed. A fine chemical dissection of BVMPK LPS components, attained by synthetic chemistry combined to spectroscopic, biophysical, and computational techniques, allowed to finely map the LPS epitopes recognized by DC-SIGN. Our findings reveal BVMPK's role in immune modulation via DC-SIGN, targeting both the LPS O-antigen and the core oligosaccharide. Furthermore, when framed within medical chemistry or drug design, our results could lead to the development of tailored molecules to benefit the hosts dealing with inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Herein, we report the first total synthesis of the tetrasaccharide repeating unit of Vibrio cholerae O:3 O-antigen polysaccharide. The highly complex tetrasaccharide contains rare amino sugars such as d-bacillosamine and l-fucosamine, highly labile sugar ascarylose, and higher carbon sugar d-d-heptose. Stereoselective glycosylation of the notoriously reactive ascarylose with d-d-heptose, poor nucleophilicity of the axial C4-OH of l-fucosamine, and amide coupling are the key challenges encountered in the total synthesis, which was completed via a longest linear sequence of 23 steps in 4.2% overall yield.

Abstract
Glycans that coat the surface of bacteria are compelling antibiotic targets because they contain distinct monosaccharides that are linked to pathogenesis and are absent in human cells. Disrupting glycan biosynthesis presents a path to inhibiting the ability of a bacterium to infect the host. We previously demonstrated that O-glycosides act as metabolic inhibitors and disrupt bacterial glycan biosynthesis. Inspired by a recent study which showed that thioglycosides (S-glycosides) are 10 times more effective than O-glycosides at inhibiting glycan biosynthesis in mammalian cells, we crafted a panel of S-glycosides based on rare bacterial monosaccharides. The novel thioglycosides altered glycan biosynthesis and fitness in pathogenic bacteria but had no notable effect on glycosylation or growth in beneficial bacteria or mammalian cells. In contrast to findings in mammalian cells, S-glycosides and O-glycosides exhibited comparable potency in bacteria. However, S-glycosides exhibited enhanced selectivity relative to O-glycosides. These novel metabolic inhibitors will allow selective perturbation of the bacterial glycocalyx for functional studies and set the stage to expand our antibiotic arsenal.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Displaced distal radius fractures often require manipulation under anaesthesia. Many anaesthetic techniques are described, with the two most commonly used being Bier's block (BB) and haematoma block (HB). Despite national guidance preferring a BB, an HB is often performed instead. This study aims to compare the analgesic properties of a BB with those of an HB when manipulating distal radius fractures. METHODS This is an observational cohort study comparing the management of displaced distal radius fractures requiring reduction across two National Health Service trusts. Patients aged over 18 with isolated, displaced distal radius fractures were recruited. Patient demographics, AO fracture classification and grade of clinician performing the procedure were recorded. A numeric rating scale (NRS) pain score was obtained for each patient after manipulation. The quality of reduction was judged against standardised anatomical parameters. RESULTS Some 200 patients were recruited (100 HB, 100 BB). There were no differences in age (BB: median 66.5 years, interquartile range [IQR] 55-74; HB: median 67 years, IQR 55-74; p = 0.79) or fracture characteristics (p = 0.29) between cohorts. Patients undergoing BB had significantly lower pain scores with a lower IQR than those undergoing HB (p < 0.005). Patients undergoing BB manipulation were more likely to have the fracture reduced and normal anatomy restored (p < 0.005). BBs were performed mainly by Foundation Year 2 junior doctors, whereas HB manipulations were performed by a range of clinicians from emergency nurse practitioners to consultants. CONCLUSIONS BB provides better analgesia than an HB. This can be performed successfully and reliably by Senior House Officer-level junior doctors.

Abstract
An efficient total synthesis of a conjugation-ready trisaccharide repeating unit of Staphylococcus aureus strain M is reported here. The main challenges involved in this synthesis are the procurement of rare sugars (d-FucNAc and d-GalNAcA) and installation of consecutive 1,2-cis-glycosidic linkages between them. Stereoselective 1,2-cis glycosylation with the linker acceptor was achieved with easily accessible benzylidene protected d-galactosamine thioglycoside by employing a DMF modulated preactivation glycosylation method. The consecutive 1,2-cis linkages were installed with the help of solvent participation. The carboxylic acid functionality was introduced via postglycosylation oxidation on the disaccharide moiety. The total synthesis of trisaccharide repeating unit was accomplished with the longest linear sequence of 24 steps in 4.5% overall yield.

Abstract
Complexities of D within the Rh blood group system have long been recognized, initially using basic serologic testing and, more recently, using advanced and sensitive typing reagents. Discrepancies may arise when an individual carries a D antigen showing altered D antigen expression. These D variants are clinically important, since they may lead to production of anti-D in the carrier and induce alloimmunization in D- recipients, making their correct identification imperative. For clinical purposes, D variants can be classified into three groups: weak D, partial D, and DEL. The problem surrounding proper characterization of D variants exists because routine serologic tests are sometimes inadequate to detect D variants or resolve discrepant or ambiguous D typing results. Today, molecular analysis has revealed more than 300 RH alleles and is a better method for investigating D variants. Global distribution of variants differs, as observed in European, African, and East Asian populations. Discovery of the novel RHD*01W.150 (weak D type 150) with a nucleotide change of c.327_487-4164dup is proof. This variant, the result of an insertion of a duplicated exon 3 between exons 2 and 4 in the same orientation, was detected in more than 50 percent of Indian D variant samples in a 2018 study. The outcome of studies worldwide has led to the recommendation to manage D variant individuals as D+ or D- according to RHD genotype. The policies and workup with respect to D variant testing in donors, recipients, and prenatal women differ among blood banks, depending on type of variants predominantly encountered. Thus, a general genotyping protocol cannot be followed globally, and an Indian-specific RHD genotyping assay (multiplex polymerase chain reaction) designed to detect D variants frequently found in the Indian population was developed to save time and resources. This assay is also helpful for detecting several partial and null alleles. Identification of D variants by serology and characterization by molecular testing need to go hand-in-hand for better and safer transfusion practices.

Abstract
A short and efficient methodology has been developed to synthesize an analogue of a lipooligosaccharide from Mycobacterium linda isolated from Crohn's disease. The total synthesis of the tetrasaccharide was achieved via a convergent [2 + 2] glycosylation approach. The key features of the synthesis involve the selective functionalization of a trehalose core via highly regioselective acylations and regioselective glycosylations. The synthesis was completed via a longest linear sequence of 14 steps in a 14.2% overall yield.

Abstract
Biofilm formation by most pathogenic bacteria is considered as one of the key mechanisms associated with virulence and antibiotic resistance. Biofilm-forming bacteria adhere to the surfaces of biological or implant medical devices and create communities within their self-produced extracellular matrix that are difficult to treat by existing antibiotics. There is an urgent need to synthesize and screen structurally diverse molecules for their antibiofilm activity that can remove or minimize the bacterial biofilm. The development of carbohydrate-based small molecules as antibiofilm agents holds a great promise in addressing the problem of the eradication of biofilm-related infections. Owing to their structural diversity and specificity, the sugar scaffolds are valuable entities for developing antibiofilm agents. In this perspective, we discuss the literature pertaining to carbohydrate-based natural antibiofilm agents and provide an overview of the design, activity, and mode of action of potent synthetic carbohydrate-based molecules.

Abstract
Herein we report the first total syntheses of the trisaccharide-repeating units of Pseudomonas chlororaphis subsp. aureofaciens UCM B-306 via a one-pot assembly of the core trisaccharide structure. The rare-sugar-containing trisaccharide-repeating units are comprised of d-bacillosamine, 2-amino-2-deoxy-d-galacturonic acid or amide, and d-rhamnose units linked through three consecutive α-linkages. The total syntheses of two repeating units were completed starting from d-mannose via a longest-linear sequence of 27 steps in 5.8% and 4.4% overall yields, respectively.

Abstract
Bacterial cell envelope glycans are compelling antibiotic targets as they are critical for strain fitness and pathogenesis yet are virtually absent from human cells. However, systematic study and perturbation of bacterial glycans remains challenging due to their utilization of rare deoxy amino l-sugars, which impede traditional glycan analysis and are not readily available from natural sources. The development of chemical tools to study bacterial glycans is a crucial step toward understanding and altering these biomolecules. Here we report an expedient methodology to access azide-containing analogues of a variety of unusual deoxy amino l-sugars starting from readily available l-rhamnose and l-fucose. Azide-containing l-sugar analogues facilitated metabolic profiling of bacterial glycans in a range of Gram-negative bacteria and revealed differential utilization of l-sugars in symbiotic versus pathogenic bacteria. Further application of these probes will refine our knowledge of the glycan repertoire in diverse bacteria and aid in the design of novel antibiotics.

Abstract
The Inb antigen of the Indian blood group system is a high-prevalence antigen. The presence of alloanti-Inb in a recipient may pose a problem in finding compatible blood for transfusion. The aim of this study was to screen blood donors for Inb and to include individuals found to be In(b-) in our rare donor registry. To save resources, a unique study design was constructed. Blood group O donors were tested for Inb because their red blood cell (RBC) units could serve recipients across all ABO groups. EDTA blood samples were used for serologic and genomic testing. These samples were first tested serologically for Ina, and samples typed as In(a+) were then tested both serologically and molecularly for Ina and Inb to find homozygous IN*01/01 [i.e., the predicted In(b-) phenotype]. A cost-conservative approach in using recycling of antibody was adopted to economize available resources. Of 6300 donors, 196 donor samples typed as In(a+) and were also found to be In(b+) when tested by serologic and genomic methods. Although none of the donors typed as In(b-), the statistical analysis suggests the expected prevalence for this rare phenotype to be 0.02 percent among the total number of donors tested. In conclusion, this report presents a unique cost-conservative approach using limited reagents to screen a large number of donors for the rare In(b-) phenotype.

Abstract
First total synthesis of the conjugation-ready pentasaccharide repeating unit of Plesiomonas shigelloides strain 302-73 (serotype O1) is reported. The complex target pentasaccharide is composed of all-rare amino sugars such as orthogonally functionalized d-bacillosamine, l-fucosamine, and l-pneumosamine linked through four consecutive α-linkages. The poor nucleophilicity of axial 4-OH of l-fucosamine and stereoselective glycosylations are the key challenges in the total synthesis, which was completed via a longest linear sequence of 27 steps in 3% overall yield.

Abstract
l-Rhamnose forms the key components of important antigenic oligo- and polysaccharides of a variety of pathogens. Obtaining 1,2-cis stereoselectivity in the glycosylation of l-rhamnoside is quite challenging due to the unavailability of neighboring group participation and disfavoring of the anomeric effect and stereoelectronic effect of the substituents on the C-2 axial position. Nevertheless, various methodologies have been developed exploiting diverse pathways for obtaining β-stereoselectivity in the glycosylation of l-rhamnose. This review describes the recent advances in β-l-rhamnosylation and its applications in the total synthesis of β-l-rhamnose-containing biologically important oligosaccharides.

Abstract
Over the years, carbohydrates have increasingly become an important class of compounds contributing significantly to the target specific drug discovery and vaccine development. Several oligosaccharides contain L-hexoses that are biologically relevant as therapeutic and diagnostic tools. Since, L-hexoses and deoxy L-hexoses are not readily available in large amount and pure form, attention is drawn towards development of cost effective and high yielding synthetic routes for their procurement. In this review we give an update on the recent developments in strategies for synthesis of L-hexoses and deoxy L-hexoses.

Abstract
Attempted nucleophilic displacements of l-rhamnosyl 2,4-bistriflates led to serendipitous formation of a chiral diene via competing cascade eliminations. The reaction also followed the same pathway with d-rhamnosyl and d-mannosyl 2,4-bistriflates substrates providing access to dienes with opposite stereochemistry. The reaction presumably proceeds through E2 elimination of C2 triflate followed by allylic rearrangement. The easily accessible chiral dienes would be useful in the synthesis of natural products.

Abstract
Zwitterionic polysaccharides isolated from commensal bacteria are endowed with unique immunological properties and are emerging as immunotherapeutic agents as well as vaccine carriers. Reported herein is a total synthesis of the repeating unit of Bacteroides fragilis zwitterionic polysaccharide A1 (PS A1). The structurally complex tetrasaccharide unit contains a rare sugar 2-acetamido-4-amino-2,4,6-trideoxy-d-galactose (AAT) and two consecutive 1,2-cis glycosidic linkages. The repeating unit was efficiently assembled by rapid synthesis of d-galactosamine and AAT building blocks from cheap and abundant d-mannose via a one-pot SN2 displacement of 2,4-bistriflates and installation of all of the glycosidic bonds in a highly stereoselective manner. The total synthesis involves a longest linear sequence of 17 steps with 3.47% overall yield.

Abstract
Herein, we report a strategy for the total synthesis of a structurally unique fungal glycolipid fusaroside. The first total synthesis of the proposed structure involved construction of the complex, branched lipid chain having a variety of alkenes with E stereochemistry and attachment of the masked α,β-unsaturated β-keto acid at the O-4 position of trehalose as key steps. We propose a revision in the structure of fusaroside, particularly the position of olefins in the lipid chain.

Abstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) serves as the epitome of how lipids-next to proteins-are utilized as central effectors in pathogenesis. It synthesizes an arsenal of structurally atypical lipids (C60-C90) to impact various membrane-dependent steps involved in host interactions. There is a growing precedent to support insertion of these exposed lipids into the host membrane as part of their mode of action. However, the vital role of specific virulence-associated lipids in modulating cellular functions by altering the host membrane organization and associated signaling pathways remain unanswered questions. Here, we combined chemical synthesis, biophysics, cell biology, and molecular dynamics simulations to elucidate host membrane structure modifications and modulation of membrane-associated signaling using synthetic Mycobacterium tuberculosis sulfoglycolipids (Mtb SL). We reveal that Mtb SL reorganizes the host cell plasma membrane domains while showing higher preference for fluid membrane regions. This rearrangement is governed by the distinct conformational states sampled by SL acyl chains. Physicochemical assays with SL analogues reveal insights into their structure-function relationships, highlighting specific roles of lipid acyl chains and headgroup, along with effects on autophagy and cytokine profiles. Our findings uncover a mechanism whereby Mtb uses specific chemical moieties on its lipids to fine-tune host lipid interactions and confer control of the downstream functions by modifying the cell membrane structure and function. These findings will inspire development of chemotherapeutics against Mtb by counteracting their effects on the host-cell membrane.

Abstract
The bacterial cell wall is a quintessential drug target due to its critical role in colonization of the host, pathogen survival, and immune evasion. The dense cell wall glycocalyx contains distinctive monosaccharides that are absent from human cells, and proper assembly of monosaccharides into higher-order glycans is critical for bacterial fitness and pathogenesis. However, the systematic study and inhibition of bacterial glycosylation enzymes remains challenging. Bacteria produce glycans containing rare deoxy amino sugars refractory to traditional glycan analysis, complicating the study of bacterial glycans and the creation of glycosylation inhibitors. To ease the study of bacterial glycan function in the absence of detailed structural or enzyme information, we crafted metabolic inhibitors based on rare bacterial monosaccharide scaffolds. Metabolic inhibitors were assessed for their ability to interfere with glycan biosynthesis and fitness in pathogenic and symbiotic bacterial species. Three metabolic inhibitors led to dramatic structural and functional defects in Helicobacter pylori. Strikingly, these inhibitors acted in a bacteria-selective manner. These metabolic inhibitors will provide a platform for systematic study of bacterial glycosylation enzymes not currently possible with existing tools. Moreover, their selectivity will provide a pathway for the development of novel, narrow-spectrum antibiotics to treat infectious disease. Our inhibition approach is general and will expedite the identification of bacterial glycan biosynthesis inhibitors in a range of systems, expanding the glycochemistry toolkit.

Abstract
The first total synthesis of the trisaccharide repeating unit of the O-specific polysaccharide of Pseudomonas fluorescens BIM B-582 is reported. This efficient synthesis involves consecutive 1,2- cis glycosylations including β-l-rhamnosylation and α selective coupling of rare 4-deoxy-d- xylo-hexose as the key steps. The synthetic trisaccharide is equipped with an aminopropyl linker at the reducing end to allow for conjugation to proteins and microarrays for further immunological studies.

Abstract
Bacteria often contain rare deoxy amino sugars which are absent in the host cells. This structural difference can be harnessed for the development of vaccines. Over the last fifteen years, remarkable progress has been made toward the development of novel and efficient protocols for obtaining the rare sugar building blocks and their stereoselective assembly to construct conjugation ready bacterial glycans. In this review, we discuss the total synthesis of a variety of rare sugar containing bacterial glycoconjugates which are potential vaccine candidates.

Abstract
Carbohydrates, which are ubiquitously distributed throughout the three domains of life, play significant roles in a variety of vital biological processes. Access to unique and homogeneous carbohydrate materials is important to understand their physical properties, biological functions, and disease-related features. It is difficult to isolate carbohydrates in acceptable purity and amounts from natural sources. Therefore, complex saccharides with well-defined structures are often most conviently accessed through chemical syntheses. Two major hurdles, regioselective protection and stereoselective glycosylation, are faced by carbohydrate chemists in synthesizing these highly complicated molecules. Over the past few years, there has been a radical change in tackling these problems and speeding up the synthesis of oligosaccharides. This is largely due to the development of one-pot protection, one-pot glycosylation, and one-pot protection-glycosylation protocols and streamlined approaches to orthogonally protected building blocks, including those from rare sugars, that can be used in glycan coupling. In addition, new automated strategies for oligosaccharide syntheses have been reported not only for program-controlled assembly on solid support but also by the stepwise glycosylation in solution phase. As a result, various sugar molecules with highly complex, large structures could be successfully synthesized. To summarize these recent advances, this review describes the methodologies for one-pot protection and their one-pot glycosylation into the complex glycans and the chronological developments associated with automated syntheses of oligosaccharides.

Abstract
N-glycosylation, the covalent attachment of glycans to select protein target Asn residues, is a post-translational modification performed by all three domains of life. In the halophilic archaea Haloferax volcanii, in which understanding of this universal protein-processing event is relatively well-advanced, genes encoding the components of the archaeal glycosylation (Agl) pathway responsible for the assembly and attachment of an N-linked pentasaccharide have been identified. As elsewhere, the N-linked glycan is assembled on phosphodolichol carriers before transfer to target Asn residues. However, as little is presently known of the Hfx. volcanii Agl pathway at the protein level, the seemingly unique ability of Archaea to use dolichol phosphate (DolP) as the glycan lipid carrier, rather than dolichol pyrophosphate used by eukaryotes, remains poorly understood. With this in mind, a chemoenzymatic approach was taken to biochemically study AglG, one of the five glycosyltransferases of the pathway. Accordingly, a novel regio- and stereoselective reduction of naturally isolated polyprenol gave facile access to S-dolichol via asymmetric transfer hydrogenation under very mild conditions. This compound was used to generate glucose-charged DolP, a precursor of the N-linked pentasaccharide, as well as DolP-glucose-glucuronic acid and DolP-glucuronic acid. AglG, purified from Hfx. volcanii membranes in hypersaline conditions, like those encountered in situ, was subsequently combined with uridine diphosphate (UDP)-glucuronic acid and DolP-glucose to yield DolP-glucose-glucuronic acid. The in vitro system for the study of AglG activity developed here represents the first such tool for studying halophilic glycosyltransferases and will allow for a detailed understanding of archaeal N-glycosylation.

Abstract
Bacterial glycans contain rare, exclusively bacterial monosaccharides that are frequently linked to pathogenesis and essentially absent from human cells. Therefore, bacterial glycans are intriguing molecular targets. However, systematic discovery of bacterial glycoproteins is hampered by the presence of rare deoxy amino sugars, which are refractory to traditional glycan-binding reagents. Thus, the development of chemical tools that label bacterial glycans is a crucial step toward discovering and targeting these biomolecules. Here, we explore the extent to which metabolic glycan labeling facilitates the studying and targeting of glycoproteins in a range of pathogenic and symbiotic bacterial strains. We began with an azide-containing analog of the naturally abundant monosaccharide N-acetylglucosamine and discovered that it is not broadly incorporated into bacterial glycans, thus revealing a need for additional azidosugar substrates to broaden the utility of metabolic glycan labeling in bacteria. Therefore, we designed and synthesized analogs of the rare deoxy amino d-sugars N-acetylfucosamine, bacillosamine, and 2,4-diacetamido-2,4,6-trideoxygalactose and established that these analogs are differentially incorporated into glycan-containing structures in a range of pathogenic and symbiotic bacterial species. Further application of these analogs will refine our knowledge of the glycan repertoire in diverse bacteria and may find utility in treating a variety of infectious diseases with selectivity.
