ABSTRACT
3-Aminopropyl glycoside of 3,2'-di-O-alpha-L-fucosyl-N-acetyllactosamine (Ley tetrasaccharide) was synthesized. The glycosyl donor, 2-O-acetyl-3,4,6-tri-O-benzoyl-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl bromide, was coupled with glycosyl acceptor, 1,6-anhydro-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranose or its 3-O-acetyl derivative, to give the corresponding N-acetyllactosamine derivatives in 20 and 71% yields, respectively. The glycosyl donor was synthesized from 1,2-di-O-acetyl-3,4,6-tri-O-benzoyl-D-galactopyranose, which was obtained by the treatment of benzobromogalactose with sodium borohydride to yield 1,2-O-benzylidene derivative and subsequent removal of benzylidene group and acetylation. Acidic methanolysis of the disaccharide derivatives resulted in the selective removal of one or both acetyl groups to give the disaccharide acceptor bearing hydroxy groups at C3 of the glucosamine residue and C2 of the galactose residue. The introduction of fucose residues in these positions by the treatment with tetrabenzylfucopyranosyl bromide resulted in a tetrasaccharide derivative, which was converted into 3,2'-di-O-alphha-L-fucopuranosyl- 1,6-anhydro-N-acetyllactosamine peracetate after substitution of acetyl groups for benzoyl and benzyl groups. Opening of the anhydro ring by acetolysis resulted in peracetate, which was then converted into the corresponding oxazoline derivative in two steps. Glycosylation of the oxazoline derivative with 3-trifluoroacetamidopropan-1-ol and removal of O-acetyl and N-trifluoroacetyl protective groups resulted in a free spacered Ley tetrasaccharide.

3-O-Acetyl and 3-O-benzoyl derivatives of 1,6-anhydro-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosamine were synthesized via its selective tritylation followed by the 3-O-acylation and removal of the trityl protective group. Tritylium trifluoromethanesulfonate, which can easily be prepared by mixing solutions of triphenylcarbinol and trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate in an equimolar ratio, was suggested as a reagent for the effective tritylation of a secondary hydroxyl group.

Effects of P1,P4-bis(5'-adenosyl)tetraphosphate and its phosphonate analogs on the ADP-ribosylation of H1 catalyzed by bovine testis ADP-ribose polymerase was investigated. Analogs App[CH(COCH3)]ppA and Ap[CH2]pppA as well as Ap4A inhibited poly(ADP)-ribosylation of histone H1 and at the same time accepted the ADP-ribosyl moiety of NAD. It was shown that inhibition of ADP-ribosylation of histone H1 is due to the competition of nucleotides with histone H1 for accepting ADP-ribosyl moiety of NAD on the one hand, and alteration of acceptor properties of the histone H1 on the other.

The interaction of rat liver Ac-CoA-carboxylase with reactive and stable analogs of carbon dioxide and phosphoric acid mixed anhydrides--hypothetic intermediate of the enzyme reaction--has been studied. Carbamoylphosphate showed substrate properties, whereas phosphonacetic acid and beta-oxopropyl-alpha, alpha-diphosphonate inhibited this enzyme (Ki 3.0 and 3.5 mM correspondingly). The analog of another possible intermediate in the reaction of ATP and carbon dioxide, Appp (CH2COOH) also inhibited Ac-CoA-carboxylase (Ki = 0.7 mM).
