RESUMO
D-Glycero-D-mannno-heptose 1ß, 7-bisphosphate (HBPß) is an important intermediate for constructing the core structure of Gram-negative bacterial lipopolysaccharides and was reported as a pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP) that regulates immune responses. HBPß with 3-O-amyl amine linker and its monophosphate derivative D-glycero-D-mannno-heptose 7-phosphate (HP) with 1α-amyl amine linker have been synthesized as candidates for immunity study of HBPß. The O3-amyl amine linker of heptose was installed by dibutyltin oxide-mediated regioselective alkylation under fine-tuned protecting condition. The stereoselective installation of 1ß-phosphate ester was achieved by NIS-mediated phosphorylation at low temperature. The strategy for installation of 3-O-amyl amine linker onto HBP derivative can be expanded to the syntheses of other conjugation-ready carbohydrates bearing anomeric phosphoester.

d-Glycero-d-manno-heptose-1ß,7-bisphosphate (HBP) and d-glycero-d-manno-heptose-1ß-phosphate (H1P) are bacterial metabolites that were recently shown to stimulate inflammatory responses in host cells through the activation of the TIFA-dependent NF-κB pathway. To better understand structure-based activity in relation to this process, a family of nonhydrolyzable phosphonate analogues of HBP and H1P was synthesized. The inflammation modulation by which these molecules induce the TIFA-NF-κB signal axis was evaluated inâ vivo at a low-nanomolar concentration (6â nM) and compared to that of the natural metabolites. Our data showed that three phosphonate analogues had similar stimulatory activity to HBP, whereas two phosphonates antagonized HBP-induced TIFA-NF-κB signaling. These results open new horizons for the design of pro-inflammatory and innate immune modulators that could be used as vaccine adjuvant.
