RESUMO
Glycosyl cations are universally accepted key ionic intermediates in the mechanism of glycosylation, the reaction that covalently links carbohydrates to other molecules. These ions have remained hypothetical species so far because of their extremely short life in organic media as a consequence of their very high reactivity. Here, we report the use of liquid hydrofluoric acid-antimony pentafluoride (HF/SbF5) superacid to generate and stabilize the glycosyl cations derived from peracetylated 2-deoxy and 2-bromoglucopyranose in a condensed phase. Their persistence in this superacid medium allows their three-dimensional structure to be studied by NMR, aided by complementary computations. Their deuteration further confirms the impact of the structure of the glycosyl cation on the stereochemical outcome of its trapping.

Interaction of Candida albicans with cells of the macrophage lineage was examined by using heat-killed (HK) and live yeast cells. Laminarin, an analogue of the cell wall beta-glucans, strongly inhibited HK yeasts adherence to J774 cell line but had no effect on live yeast binding. Phosphopeptidomannan (PPM) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae had a limited effect on the binding of both HK and live yeasts but significant inhibition was achieved by the use of C. albicans PPM. The role of beta-1,2-oligomannosides was examined with regard to their exclusive presence within C. albicans PPM. PPM acid labile beta-1,2-oligomannosides or a synthetic beta-1,2-mannotetraose, inhibited yeasts binding in a manner comparable to the original PPM. These latter results were confirmed by using mouse peritoneal macrophages, thus suggesting a general role for beta-1,2-oligomannosides in the adherence of the yeast to the macrophage membrane.

The title disaccharide was obtained in crystalline form after deacylation and catalytic hydrogenation. It proved identical with a disaccharide isolated from Salmonella johannesburg 5.58 (40) converted by phage phi 1 (40). In order to bind this disaccharide covalently onto various proteins, p-aminophenyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-6-O-(alpha-D-glucopyranosyl)-alpha-D-galactopyranoside has been obtained in an analogous way, starting from p-nitrophenyl 2-acetamido-3, 4-di-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-alpha-D-galactopyranoside.

A glycosyloxyselenation-oxidation-elimination sequence was performed on 39 and either 1,5-anhydro-3,4-di-O-benzyl-2,6- dideoxy-D-arabino-hex-1-enitol (40) or 1,5-anhydro-3-O-benzyl-2,6-dideoxy-4-O-(3,4-di-O-benzyl-2,6- dideoxy-beta-D-arabino-hexopyranosyl)-D-arabino-hex-1-enitol (17) to give the C-D-E tri-and B-C-D-E tetrasaccharide fragments, respectively.

Acid hydrolysis, followed by treatment with (bromomethylene)-dimethylammonium bromide, gave methyl (2,3-di-O-benzyl-4-O-levulinyl-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl bromide)uronate. Condensation of this bromide with 1,6-anhydro-2-azido-3-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranose gave 1,6-anhydro-2-azido-3-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-4-O-(methyl 2,3-di-O-benzyl-4-O- levulinyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyluronate)-beta-D-glucopyranose. Acetolysis, followed by selective anomeric O-deacetylation and treatment with (bromomethylene)dimethylammonium bromide then gave 6-O-acetyl-2-azido-3-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-4-O-(methyl 2,3-di-O-benzyl-4-O-levulinyl -beta-D-glucopyranosyluronate)-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl bromide.

The binding of three monoclonal antigalactan immunoglobulins, IgAs X24, J539 and X44 to their natural haptens methyl beta-D-galactopyranosyl-(1-->6)-beta-D-galactopyranoside, and the corresponding tri- and tetrasaccharides, was compared to the binding of these immunoglobulins with the comparable C-linked oligosaccharide analogues 1-3. The near identity of affinities of the two sets of oligosaccharides indicated the absence of any hydrogen bond involvement by the intersaccharidic oxygen atoms in the natural immunodeterminants.

Constant current electrolyses of the glycosyl donors phenyl and ethyl 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-1-thio-beta-D-glucopyranoside in dry acetonitrile in the presence of various primary and secondary sugar alcohols, performed in an undivided cell, gave beta-linked disaccharide derivatives selectively in good yields. Phenyl 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzoyl-1-thio-beta-D-glucopyranoside gave the beta-glucosides exclusively in good to moderate yields.

The conformation in solution of the pentasaccharide methyl glycoside (As-G-A*-Is-AM; 1), which represents the binding site of heparin for Antithrombin III, has been investigated using molecular mechanics and 1H-n.m.r. spectroscopy. The pentasaccharide has a rather rigid (As-G-A*) and a more flexible (Is-AM) region. A simplified model of 1, comprising two conformations, corresponding to the 1C4 and the 2S0 forms of the iduronate residue, and modified at the G-A* glycosidic linkage with respect to the energy minimum, reproduces most of the observed 3J values and n.O.e. enhancements. The possible role in the binding to Antithrombin III of a low-energy conformer, not observed in solution, is discussed.
