Abstract
An efficient de novo synthesis of vineomycinone B2 methyl ester has been achieved. The longest linear route required only 14 steps from achiral commercially available starting materials (4.0% overall yield). The key transformations included the de novo asymmetric synthesis of two key fragments, which were joined by a convergent late stage Suzuki's glycosylation for the construction of the aryl β-C-glycoside. A subsequent BBr3 one-pot debenzylation, demethylation and air oxidation provided vineomycinone B2 methyl ester.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The galactose analogue 2-[(18)F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-galactose (FDGal) is a promising positron emission tomography (PET) tracer for studies of regional differences in liver metabolic function and for clinical evaluation of patients with liver cirrhosis and patients undergoing treatment of liver diseases. However, there is an unmet need for routine production of FDGal from readily available starting material. In this study, we present the preparation of FDGal with high radiochemical purity and in amounts sufficient for clinical investigations from commercially available Talose triflate (1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-2-O-trifluoromethanesulfonyl-β-D-talopyranose). In addition, the biodistribution of FDGal in the pig is presented. METHODS FDGal was prepared by nucleophilic fluorination of Talose triflate followed by basic hydrolysis. The entire synthesis was performed using the GE TRACERlab MX 2-[(18)F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) synthesizer and existing methods for quality control of FDG were applied. Biodistribution of FDGal was studied by successive whole-body PET recordings of two anaesthetized 37-kg pigs. RESULTS Up to 3.7 GBq sterile, pyrogen-free and no-carrier-added FDGal was produced with a radiochemical yield of 3.8±1.2% and a radiochemical purity of 98±1% (42 productions; yield is decay corrected). The adopted quality control methods for FDG were directly applicable for FDGal. Biodistribution studies in the pig revealed the liver and the urinary bladder as critical organs in terms of radiation dose. CONCLUSION Commercially available Talose triflate is a suitable starting material for routine productions of FDGal. The presented radiosynthesis and quality control methods allow for the production of pure, no-carrier-added FDGal in sufficient amounts for clinical PET-investigations of the liver.

Abstract
alpha-Bisabolol beta-d-fucopyranoside, a cytotoxic naturally occurring compound, was efficiently synthesized along with five other alpha-bisabolol glycosides (beta-d-glucoside, beta-d-galactoside, alpha-d-mannoside, beta-d-xyloside and alpha-l-rhamnoside). Glycosidation of alpha-bisabolol was performed using Schmidt's inverse procedure and provided excellent yields (83-95%). Cytotoxicity was evaluated against a broad panel of cancerous cell lines including human and rat glioma (U-87, U-251 and GL-261) since the anticancer activity of alpha-bisabolol was previously demonstrated against brain tumor cell lines. The addition of a sugar moiety markedly increased alpha-bisabolol cytotoxicity in most cases. Among the synthesized glycosides, alpha-bisabolol alpha-l-rhamnopyranoside exhibited the strongest cytotoxic activity with IC(50) ranging from 40 to 64muM. According to ADME in silico predictions, this glycoside closely respects physicochemical parameters necessary to cross the blood-brain barrier passively.

Abstract
A triply convergent total synthesis of vineomycinone B2 methyl ester has been achieved by an approach with a longest linear sequence of 16 steps. The synthesis features the use of silicon tethers as disposable linkers to control the regiochemistry in two tandem Diels-Alder reactions of substituted benzynes and glycosyl furans to provide rapid access to the fully intact anthrarufin core of vineomycinone B2 methyl ester.

Abstract
A novel and efficient method for the synthesis of quinoxaline derivatives has been developed. Isopropylidenation of 4-chloro-4-deoxy-alpha-D-galactose with 2,2-dimethoxypropane, followed by selective hydrolysis, afforded 2,3-O-isopropylidene-4-chloro-4-deoxy-D-galactose di-methyl acetal (3) as a sole product. Oxidation of compound 3 with (Bu3Sn)2O-Br2 gave corresponding hex-5-ulose derivative in high yields. The hex-5-ulose derivative reacted with o-phenylenediamines under neutral conditions to afford quinoxaline derivatives in reasonable yields. The in vitro cytotoxic activities of these quinoxaline derivatives were investigated.

In the study, we found an interesting anomerization phenomenon of 4-chloro-4-deoxy-d-galactose. The molar ratio of alpha and beta anomers in solution is about 1:2 when the anomerization reaches a dynamic equilibrium, and the beta anomer could completely convert to the alpha anomer in the process of crystallization and precipitation. The acetylation of 4-chloro-4-deoxy-d-galactopyranose is kinetically controlled, and the configuration of the starting galactose determines the configuration of the resulting acetates. The influence of the chloro group at C-4 and the O-acetyl group at the anomeric carbon on the galactopyranose ring conformations is discussed, based upon the crystallographic data for the alpha and beta anomers of 1,2,3,6-tetra-O-acetyl-4-chloro-4-deoxy-d-galactopyranose.

Abstract
A series of N-(2-aminoethyl)-alpha-amino acid thymine peptide nucleic acid (PNA) monomers bearing glycosylated side chains in the alpha-amino acid position have been synthesized. These include PNA monomers where glycine has been replaced by serine and threonine (O-glycosylated), derivatives of lysine and nor-alanine (C-glycosylated), and amide derivatives of aspartic acid (N-glycosylated). The Boc and Fmoc derivatives of these monomers were used for incorporation in PNA oligomers. Twelve PNA decamers containing the glycosylated units in one, two, or three positions were prepared, and the thermal stability (T(m)) of their complexes with a complementary RNA was determined. Incorporation of the glycosyl monomers reduced the duplex stability by 0-6 degrees C per substitution. A cysteine was attached to the amino terminus of eight of the PNA decamers (Cys-CTCATACTCT-NH(2)) for easy conjugation to a [(18)F]radiolabeled N-(4-fluorobenzyl)-2-bromoacetamide. The in vivo biodistribution of these PNA oligomers was determined in rat 2 h after intravenous administration. Most of the radioactivity was recovered in the kidneys and in the urine. However, N-acetylgalactosamine (and to a lesser extent galactose and mannose)-modified PNAs were effectively targeting the liver (40-fold over unmodified PNA). Thus, the pharmacodistribution in rats of PNA oligomers can be profoundly changed by glycosylation. These results could be of great significance for PNA drug development, as they should allow modulation and fine-tuning of the pharmacokinetic profile of a drug lead.

Abstract
Alpha-Gal epitopes (also termed as alpha-Gal) are carbohydrate structures bearing the alpha-D-Gal-(1-->3)-beta-D-Gal terminus 1 and are known to be the antigen responsible for antibody-mediated hyperacute rejection in xenotransplantation. Terminal 2-, 3-, 4-, and 6-deoxy-Gal derivatives of alpha-Gal were synthesized. Inhibition ELISA using mouse laminin was established to determine the binding affinity of the synthesized alpha-Gal derivatives. 4-Deoxy-alpha-Gal derivative 7 showed a significant reduction in antibody recognition. The IC(50) value was 15-fold poorer than the standard alpha-Gal epitopes alpha-D-Gal-(1-->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1-->4)-beta-D-Glc-NHAc (39) and alpha-D-Gal-(1-->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1-->4)-beta-D-Glc-OBn (40). A similar observation was seen with 2-deoxy-alpha-Gal derivative 5, whose IC(50) value was nearly tenfold higher than the standards. Interestingly, substitution at the terminal 3-position resulted in only a fourfold decrease in antibody recognition, suggesting a possible point of future derivation. Finally, 6-deoxy-alpha-Gal derivative 8 exhibited similar antibody recognition to both alpha-Gal epitope 39 and alpha-Gal epitope 40. This strongly suggests that derivatization at the 6-position can be accomplished without loss of antibody recognition. These findings can be utilized for the future design of other alpha-Gal derivatives.

Abstract
To examine the potential utility of fucosylation of drug carriers for targeted drug delivery to Kupffer cells, the pharmacokinetics of (111)In-labeled fucosylated bovine serum albumin (Fuc-BSA) with different numbers of fucose residues (11, 16, 25, 31 or 41) was studied. After intravenous injection in mice, all (111)In-Fuc-BSAs were mainly delivered to the liver and their hepatic uptake became saturated when the dose was increased. Of these derivatives, only (111)In-Fuc41-BSA showed a slow plasma elimination at low doses, suggesting an interaction with blood components. Examination of binding conditions as well as electrophoretic analysis of the binding components indicated that the serum-type mannan binding protein (MBP) is responsible. Kupffer cells, which possess fucose receptors, showed the highest uptake of (111)In-Fuc41-BSA, followed by endothelial cells and hepatocytes. The hepatic uptake of (111)In-Fuc41-BSA was inhibited by co-injection of Gal42-BSA, but not by Man46-BSA. On the other hand, excess Fuc41-BSA inhibited the hepatic uptake of (111)In-Man46-BSA, while (111)In-Gal42-BSA did not: These findings suggest that not only the fucose receptors on Kupffer cells but also other lectins are involved in the biodistribution of Fuc-BSAs. To understand how the degree of fucose modification affects the binding affinity of Fuc-BSA with hepatic lectins and serum MBP, a pharmacokinetic analysis was performed based on a physiological model. The Michaelis constant of the hepatic uptake of (111)In-Fuc-BSA decreased with an increasing number of fucose units, and the intrinsic hepatic clearance of (111)In-Fuc25-, (111)In-Fuc31- and (111)In-Fuc41-BSAs was close to, or much greater than, the hepatic plasma flow rate, indicating efficient hepatic uptake of these derivatives. These results suggest that fucosylation is a potentially useful method making drug carriers selective for Kupffer cells, although extensive modification might result in retarded delivery due to binding to other lectins like MBP.

Abstract
Discovery of a very potent alpha-fucosidase inhibitor 5a-carba-alpha-L-fucopyranosylamine led to preparation of its beta-anomer and the respective unsaturated derivatives, fucose-type alpha- and beta-valienamines, in order to elucidate the structure-activity relationship of carba-aminosugar inhibitors of this kind. Compound was demonstrated to be a potent inhibitor (K(i)=2.0 x 10(-7) M, bovine kidney), possessing ca. one-tenth of the activity of the parent. Interestingly, and were found to be rather weak inhibitors, contrary to the expectations based on the activity relationships between the alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, alpha-glucose-type validamine and valienamine.

Abstract
5a-Carba-alpha-L-fucopyranose and -alpha-DL-fucopyranosylamine were synthesized in conventional manner starting from 2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-6-bromo-6-deoxy-5a-carba-beta-D- and -DL-glucopyranosyl bromides, respectively, and assayed for inhibitory activity against alpha-fucosidase (bovine kidney). Although the former proved to be only a moderate inhibitor (Ki = 4.3 x 10(-5) M), the latter could be shown to possess strong inhibitory potential (Ki = 2.3 x 10(-7) M). Diastereoisomeric imino-linked 5a'-carbadisaccharides were synthesized by coupling of the racemic 5a-carba-alpha-fucopyranosylamine and 1,6:3,4-dianhydro-2-azido-2-deoxy-beta-D-galactopyranose, in order to estimate approximately the inhibitory activity of individual optical antipodes of 5a-carba-alpha-fucopyranosylamine.

Abstract
An effective procedure for the synthesis of 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-sugar nucleotides via Select fluor-mediated electrophilic fluorination of glycals with concurrent nucleophilic addition or chemo-enzymatic transformation has been developed, and the fluorinated sugar nucleotides have been used as probes for glycosyltransferases, including fucosyltransferase III, V, VI, and VII, and sialyl transferases. In general, these fluorinated sugar nucleotides act as competitive inhibitors versus sugar nucleotide substrates and form a tight complex with the glycosyltransferase.

Abstract
Syntheses of 4-nitrophenyl beta-D-fucofuranoside (6) and beta-D-fucofuranosyl-(1-->3)-D-mannopyranose (10) are reported. These compounds, as analogues of galactofuranosides, were used for studying the influence of the hydroxyl group at C-6 in the interaction of the substrate with beta-D-galactofuranosidase. For the synthesis of the fucofuranosides, 2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-6-bromo-6-deoxy-D-galactono-1,4-lactone (1) was the key intermediate, which upon reduction of the lactone group with diisoamylborane, acetylation of the anomeric hydroxyl group, and catalytic hydrogenolysis of the bromine at C-6, led to 1-O-acetyl-2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-alpha,beta-D-fucofuranose (4), a convenient derivative for the preparation of fucofuranosides. Compound 4 was glycosylated in the presence of SnCl4, either with 4-nitrophenol for the preparation of 6, or with 2,5,6-tri-O-benzoyl-D-mannono-1,4-lactone (7), for the synthesis of disaccharide 10, via the glycosyl-aldonolactone approach. The synthetic route developed for the beta-D-fucofuranosides is simple and efficient. Compound 6 was not hydrolyzed by incubation with the exo beta-D-galactofuranosidase from Penicillium fellutanum, showing that HO-6 is essential for interaction of the substrate with the enzyme.

Abstract
We have previously found that heterochiral fucodipeptides, L-Ser-D-Glu (3a) and D-Ser-L-Glu (3b), exhibited up to 20-100 times more potency than a sialyl Lewis X (sLeX, 1) and a 3'-sulfated Lewis X analogue (2) toward E-selectin binding and have also proposed, from molecular dynamics calculation, that their strong activities would depend on a possible formation of the type II and/or type II' beta-turn of compounds 3a,b (Tsukida, T.; Hiramatsu, Y.; Tsujishita, H.; Kiyoi, T.; Yoshida, M.; Kurokawa, K.; Moriyama, H.; Ohmoto, H.; Wada, Y.; Saito, T.; Kondo, H. J. Med. Chem. 1997, 40, 3534-3541). To clarify our hypothesis, we synthesized several analogues of compounds 3a,b and investigated their structure-activity relationships. As a result, it was indicated that the type II and/or type II' beta-turn conformation would be a comparatively tight form and would play important roles in favorable binding to E-selectin. These findings indicate that sLeX mimetics with type II and type II' beta-turn dipeptides could be a useful methodology for the design of an active selectin blocker.

Abstract
Water soluble analogues of the lipophilic immunostimulant, octadecyl D-alanyl-L-glutamine, BCH-527, were synthesized and evaluated for the ability to stimulate natural killer (NK) cells. One of these compounds in which the octadecyl chain of BCH-527 was replaced with a shorter chain alcohol, 6-(D-alanyl-L-glutaminylamino)hexan-1-ol, 9, displayed an in vitro stimulation of NK cells comparable to that of interleukin 2 (IL 2). However, when the hydroxyl of 9 was linked to L-fucose to yield 1-beta-[6-(D-alanyl-L-glutaminylamino)hex-1-yl]-L- fucopyranose (BCH-2537, 1), the observed stimulation of NK cells was greater than that observed with IL 2. Further evaluation of these compounds revealed that the improved in vitro activity of BCH-2537 was more pronounced in vivo. That is, while both compounds significantly increased splenic NK cells, only BCH-2537 significantly increased the activity of these cells in vivo. In terms of a structure-activity relationship, NK cell activity was sensitive to minor structural modifications. It was influenced by conservative substitutions within the dipeptide, the length of the hydrocarbon chain, and the functionality at the end of the chain. No other compound enhanced NK cell activity to the extent exhibited by BCH-2537, although a few were equipotent to 9.

Abstract
Syntheses of galactose derivatives that are useful in probing the binding specificity of galactose-specific lectins are reported. These include allyl 3-deoxy- and 4-deoxy-beta-D-xylo-hexopyranoside and several disaccharide glycosides having Gal(1-->2) and Gal(1-->3) linkages. The beta-linked Gal disaccharide isomers were produced using 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl bromide as glycosyl donor and the 4,6-O-benzylidene derivatives of allyl beta-D-galactopyranoside, alpha-D-glucopyranoside, alpha-D-mannopyranoside, and 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-alpha-D-galactopyranoside as acceptors. Only the Gal(1-->3)-linked disaccharide was obtained when the benzylidene derivatives of the mannopyranoside and 2-acetamido-2-deoxygalactopyranoside were used. Attempts at the preparation of Gal(alpha, 1-->2)Gal and Gal(alpha, 1-->3)Gal disaccharide glycosides were made using the same strategy, but employing the 1-trichloro-acetimidate or 1-N-methylacetimidate of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-D-galactopyranose as the glycosyl donor. The latter imidate produced a mixture of Gal(alpha, 1-->2)Gal and Gal(alpha, 1-->3)Gal derivatives as major products, but the former gave the Gal(beta, 1-->2)Gal isomer as the major product.

Abstract
A practical 15-mmol large-scale synthesis of beta-L-fucopyranosyl dicyclohexylammonium phosphate from L-fucose in 63% overall yield was developed. The synthesis took advantage of a neighboring Bz-2 group participating in a Koenigs-Knorr-like glycosylation. The sugar phosphate was transformed into the activated sugar nucleoside, guanosine diphosphate beta-L-fucopyranose, on a gram scale.

Abstract
Reaction of benzyl 2-acetamido-3,4-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-6-O-mesyl-alpha-D-galactopyran oside with cesium floride gave benzyl 2-acetamido-3,6-anhydro-4-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-alpha-D-galactopyranoside instead of the desired 6-fluoro derivative. Acetonation of benzyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-6-O-mesyl-alpha-D-galactopyranoside gave the corresponding 3,4-O-isopropylidene derivative. The 6-O-mesyl group was displaced by fluorine with cesium fluoride in boiling 1,2-ethanediol, and hydrolysis and subsequent N-acetylation gave the target compound. In another procedure, treatment of 2-acetamido-1,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-alpha-D-galactose with N-(diethylamino)sulfur trifluoride gave 2-acetamido-1,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-2,6-dideoxy-6-fluoro-D-galactose which, on acid hydrolysis followed by N-acetylation, gave 2-acetamido-2,6-dideoxy-6-fluoro-D-galactose.

Abstract
alpha Fuc-Ser, alpha Fuc-Thr, beta Fuc-Ser, and beta Fuc-Thr were synthesized stereoselectively in good yields, and their properties were investigated. beta-Fucosylserine (and -threonine) was synthesized by Koenigs-Knorr reaction of per-O-acetylfucopyranosyl bromide with N-carbobenzoxy-L-serine (and -threonine) benzyl ester using mercuric cyanide, followed by hydrogenolysis and deacetylation. alpha-Fucosylserine (and -threonine) was synthesized by the halide-ion catalyzed reaction of per-O-benzylfucopyranosyl bromide with the serine (and threonine) derivative described above, followed by hydrogenolysis. These substances each gave a single peak on an amino acid analyzer. The anomeric configurations of these compounds were determined by 1H-NMR spectroscopy, optical rotation measurement and enzymatic degradations of these compounds. On acid hydrolysis, alpha Fuc-Ser and alpha Fuc-Thr were more rapidly hydrolyzed than the corresponding beta-series compounds. Under mild alkaline conditions in the presence of sodium borohydride, per-protected beta Fuc-Thr released about 50% of fucose but free beta Fuc-Thr did not However, free alpha Fuc-Thr and beta Fuc-Thr were cleaved to give acetylated fucose during acetylation with acetic anhydride-pyridine. alpha-L-Fucosidases, which were purified from abalone and rabbit livers by affinity chromatography, acted very well on alpha Fuc-Ser and alpha Fuc-Thr, but not on the beta-series compounds.

Abstract
Several new analogues of L-fucose modified in the 2 position and the 5-methyl group have been synthesized as potential plasma-membrane glycoconjugate inhibitors or modifiers, and their biological effects have been studied. 2-Chloro-, 2-bromo-, and 2-iodo-2-deoxy-L-fucose (9a, 9b, and 13, respectively) have been prepared by addition of the appropriate halogen to 3,4-di-O-acetyl-L-fucal, followed by hydrolysis of the anomeric halogen and the acetyl groups. A series of four halogenated 5-methyl analogues of L-fucose (4, X = F, Cl, Br, and I) have been obtained starting from 1,2:3,4-di-O-isopropylidene-L-galactose. The synthesis of this latter compound has been improved. A corresponding series of 6-deoxy-6-halo-D-galactose analogues, which are enantiomers of the 5-(halomethyl)-L-fucose analogues, has also been synthesized. Analogues 4b, 4c, and 9b at 1 x 10(-3) M specifically inhibited the incorporation of L-[3H]fucose into macromolecular components of SW613 human mammary tumor cells. Analogue 13 inhibited the growth of L1210 murine leukemic cells with an IC50 of 6 x 10(5) M in culture. 6-Deoxy-6-fluoro-D-galactose and its enantiomer 4a were found to be effective inhibitors of D-[3H]galactose and L-[3H]fucose incorporation, respectively, into macromolecular components of human mammary tumor cells. The effectiveness of inhibition was reduced with an increase in size of the halogen atom. Analogue 4a and its enantiomer have been tritiated at C-1 and both were found to be activated to a nucleotide sugar, which was followed by incorporation into the macromolecular fraction of SW613 human mammary tumor cells in vitro.

Abstract
6-Substituted 6-deoxy-L-galactose (L-fucose) derivatives were synthesized as potential antimetabolites of L-fucose. The cytotoxic effects of these compounds were evaluated on P388 leukemia cells in culture. The L-fucose analogues which showed the most potent growth inhibition were the sulfonyl ester, bromo, and iodo derivatives; since these compounds were all capable of alkylation, it is conceivable that their cytotoxic action is a consequence of this property. In agreement with this interpretation, none of the agents synthesized showed specific inhibition of the incorporation of L-[3H]fucose into glycoprotein.

Abstract
Methyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-2-deoxy-alpha-D-ribo-hexopyranoside (1) is converted into methyl 3,4-di-O-benzoyl-6-bromo-2,6-dideoxy-alpha-D-ribo-hexopyranoside (3) via the 3-O-benzoyl derivative (2) of 1 by subsequent treatment with N-bromosuccinimide. Compound 3 is the key intermediate in high-yielding, preparative syntheses of the title dideoxy sugars, which are constituents of many antibiotics, Dehydrohalogenation of 3 affords the 5,6-unsaturated glycoside 7, which undergoes stereospecific reduction by hydrogen with net inversion at C-5 to give methyl 3,4-di-O-benzoyl-2,6-dideoxy-beta-L-lyxo-hexopyranoside (8), whereas reductive dehalogenation of 3 provides the corresponding D-ribo derivative 4. The unprotected glycosides 9 (L-lyxo) and 5 (D-ribo) are readily obtained by catalytic transesterification, and mild, acid hydrolysis gives the crystalline title sugars 10 (L-lyxo) and 6 (D-ribo) in 45 and 57% overall yield from 1 without the necessity of chromatographic purification at any of the steps.

Abstract
Pork liver has been shown to contain a soluble enzyme, L-fuconate hydro-lyase (L-fuconate dehydratase), capable of dehydrating L-fuconate to 2-keto-3-deoxy-L-fuconate. The enzyme has been partially purified. The Km for L-fuconate is 1.0 mM; D-arabonate is also an excellent substrate (Km 1.3 mM) but the enzyme is inactive with D-fuconate, L-arabonate, D-gluconate, D-gulonate, D-galactonate, L-mannonate, and D-glucuronate. The enzyme has a sharp pH optimum at pH 7.0, requires Mg2+ for activity, and is inhibited by p-hydroxymercuribenzoate. The substrate specificity of L-fuconate hydro-lyase resembles that of pork liver L-fucose: NAD oxidoreductase and it is suggested that these enzymes serve in the metabolism of L-fucose by the following pathway: L-fucose → L-fucono-1,5-lactone → L-fuconate → 2-keto-3-deoxy-L-fuconate. The metabolic fate of the latter compound is not known. D-Arabinose can be metabolized by pork liver by an analogous pathway.
