RESUMO
A straightforward synthesis of the hexasaccharide repeating unit of the O-specific polysaccharide of Salmonella arizonae O62 was achieved in very good yield applying sequential glycosylation strategy. Successful regioselective glycosylation of the di-hydroxylated L-rhamnose moiety allowed achieving the desired compound in minimum number of synthetic steps. TEMPO catalyzed and [bis(acetoxy)iodo]benzene (BAIB) mediated late stage regioselective oxidation of a primary hydroxyl group into carboxylic acid was achieved in the hexasaccharide derivative. The glycosylation steps were high yielding with high stereochemical outcome. The desired hexasaccharide was obtained in 7% over all yield in fourteen steps starting from suitably functionalized monosaccharide intermediates.

With the emergence of multidrug resistant Salmonella strains, the development of anti-Salmonella vaccines is an important task. Currently there are no approved vaccines against Salmonella Paratyphi A, the leading cause of paratyphoid fever. To fill this gap, oligosaccharides corresponding to the O-polysaccharide repeating units from the surface of Salmonella Paratyphi A have been synthesized through convergent stereoselective glycosylations. The synthetic glycan antigen was conjugated with a powerful immunogenic carrier system, the bacteriophage Qß. The resulting construct was able to elicit strong and long-lasting anti-glycan IgG antibody responses, which were highly selective toward Salmonella Paratyphi A associated glycans. The availability of well-defined glycan antigen enabled the determination that one repeating unit of the polysaccharide is sufficient to induce protective antibodies, and the paratose residue and/or the O-acetyl modifications on the backbone are important for recognition by antibodies elicited by a Qß-tetrasaccharide conjugate. Immune sera provided excellent protection to mice from lethal challenge with Salmonella Paratyphi A, highlighting the potential of the synthetic glycan-based vaccine.

A series of 1,2-dihydronaphtho[2,1-b]furan derivatives were synthesized by cyclizing 1-(aryl/alkyl(arylthio)methyl)-naphthalen-2-ol and pyridinium bromides in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) in very good yield. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their anti-proliferative potential against human triple negative MDA-MB-468 and MCF-7 breast cancer cells and non-cancerous WI-38 cells (lung fibroblast cell) using MTT experiments. Among 21 synthesized compounds, three compounds (3a, 3b and 3 s) showed promising anti-cancer potential and compound 3b was found to have best anti-proliferative activities based on the results of several biochemical and microscopic experiments.

A straightforward sequential synthetic strategy has been developed for the synthesis of a pentasaccharide repeating unit corresponding to the cell wall O-antigen of the Escherichia albertii O4 strain in very good yield with the desired configuration at the glycosidic linkages using thioglycosides and trichloroacetimidate derivatives as glycosyl donors and perchloric acid supported over silica (HClO4/SiO2) as a solid supported protic acid glycosyl activator. The expected configuration at the glycosidic linkages was achieved using a reasonable selection of protecting groups in the manosaccharide intermediates.
RESUMO
A straightforward synthetic strategy was developed for the synthesis of the tetrasaccharide repeating unit corresponding to the O-specific polysaccharide of Azospirillum doebereinerae type strain GSF71T in a very good yield adopting sequential glycosylation followed by removal of the p-methoxybenzyl (PMB) group in the same pot. Further, the synthetic strategy was modified by carrying out three stereoselective iterative glycosylations followed by in situ removal of the PMB group in one pot. The stereochemical outcome of the newly formed glycosidic linkages was excellent using thioglycoside derivatives as glycosyl donors and a combination of N-iodosuccinimide (NIS) and perchloric acid supported on silica (HClO4-SiO2) as the glycosyl activator.
RESUMO
The SoxXAYZB(CD)2 -mediated pathway of bacterial sulfur-chemolithotrophy explains the oxidation of thiosulfate, sulfide, sulfur and sulfite but not tetrathionate. Advenella kashmirensis, which oxidizes tetrathionate to sulfate, besides forming it as an intermediate during thiosulfate oxidation, possesses a soxCDYZAXOB operon. Knock-out mutations proved that only SoxBCD is involved in A. kashmirensis tetrathionate oxidation, whereas thiosulfate-to-tetrathionate conversion is Sox independent. Expression of two glutathione metabolism-related proteins increased under chemolithotrophic conditions, as compared to the chemoorganotrophic one. Substrate-dependent oxygen consumption pattern of whole cells, and sulfur-oxidizing enzyme activities of cell-free extracts, measured in the presence/absence of thiol inhibitors/glutathione, corroborated glutathione involvement in tetrathionate oxidation. Furthermore, proteome analyses detected a sulfite:acceptor oxidoreductase (SorAB) exclusively under chemolithotrophic conditions, while expression of a methanol dehydrogenase (XoxF) homolog, subsequently named thiol dehydrotransferase (ThdT), was found to increase 3- and 10-fold during thiosulfate-to-tetrathionate conversion and tetrathionate oxidation respectively. A thdT knock-out mutant did not oxidize tetrathionate but converted half of the supplied 40 mM S-thiosulfate to tetrathionate. Knock-out of another thiosulfate dehydrogenase (tsdA) gene proved that both ThdT and TsdA individually converted â¼ 20 mM S-thiosulfate to tetrathionate. The overexpressed and isolated ThdT protein exhibited PQQ-dependent thiosulfate dehydrogenation, whereas its PQQ-independent thiol transfer activity involving tetrathionate and glutathione potentially produced a glutathione:sulfodisulfane adduct and sulfite. SoxBCD and SorAB were hypothesized to oxidize the aforesaid adduct and sulfite respectively.

RESUMO
The present work aims to explore the mechanism of action of C-cinnamoyl glycoside as an antifilarial agent against the bovine filarial nematode Setaria cervi. Both apoptosis and autophagy programmed cell death pathways play a significant role in parasitic death. The generation of reactive oxygen species, alteration of the level of antioxidant components and disruption of mitochondrial membrane potential may be the causative factors that drive the parasitic death. Monitoring of autophagic flux via the formation of autophagosome and autophagolysosome was detected via CYTO ID dye. The expression profiling of both apoptotic and autophagic marker proteins strongly support the initial findings of these two cell death processes. The increased interaction of pro-autophagic protein Beclin1 with BCL-2 may promote apoptotic pathway by suppressing anti-apoptotic protein BCL-2 from its function. This in turn partially restrains the autophagic pathway by engaging Beclin1 in the complex. But overall positive increment in autophagic flux was observed. Dynamic interaction and regulative balance of these two critical cellular pathways play a decisive role in controlling disease pathogenesis. Therefore, the present experimental work may prosper the chance for C-cinnamoyl glycosides to become a potential antifilarial therapeutic in the upcoming day after detail in vivo study and proper clinical trial.

A series of novel analogs of Allicin (S-allyl prop-2-ene-1-sulfinothioate) present in garlic has been synthesized in high yield. Synthesized 23 compounds were evaluated against different breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-468 and MCF-7) and non-cancer cells (WI38). Four compounds (3f, 3h, 3m and 3u) showed significant cytotoxicity against cancer cells whereas nontoxic to the normal cells. Based on the LD50 values and selectivity index (SI), compound 3h (S-p-methoxybenzyl (p-methoxyphenyl)methanesulfinothioate) was considered as most promising anticancer agent amongst the above three compounds. Further bio-chemical studies confirmed that compound 3h promotes ROS generation, changes in mitochondrial permeability transition and induced caspase mediated DNA damage and apoptosis.
