Abstract

Two novel KRN7000 analogues, where d-galactopyranosyl residue was replaced by 5α-gem-difluorocarba-β-l-arabinopyranose, were designed based on docking computation and energy decomposition analyses. The target compounds were synthesized employing the key steps of Ferrier's carbocyclic ring closure and gem-difluoride formation with d-galactose as starting material. The in vivo bioassay revealed that the designed glycolipids could stimulate iNKT cells to produce cytokines IFN-γ and IL-4. The introduced hydroxyl groups on glycolipid acyl chain provided extra CD1d substrate affinities, and thus favored to boost Th1-type cytokine secretion. When the ring oxygen was replaced by CF2 group on sugar unit, its TCR affinities were enhanced in contrast with KRN7000. The in vivo cytokine profiles induced by synthetic glycolipids were initially dominated by the binding ability of CD1/glycolipid, and then adjusted by affinity toward TCR in CD1/α-GalCer/TCR triplex structure. The current results could be helpful in designing of more efficient α-GalCer analogs.

期刊介绍: Carbohydrate Research publishes reports of original research in the following areas of carbohydrate science: action of enzymes, analytical chemistry, biochemistry (biosynthesis, degradation, structural and functional biochemistry, conformation, molecular recognition, enzyme mechanisms, carbohydrate-processing enzymes, including glycosidases and glycosyltransferases), chemical synthesis, isolation of natural products, physicochemical studies, reactions and their mechanisms, the study of structures and stereochemistry, and technological aspects. Papers on polysaccharides should have a "molecular" component; that is a paper on new or modified polysaccharides should include structural information and characterization in addition to the usual studies of rheological properties and the like. A paper on a new, naturally occurring polysaccharide should include structural information, defining monosaccharide components and linkage sequence. Papers devoted wholly or partly to X-ray crystallographic studies, or to computational aspects (molecular mechanics or molecular orbital calculations, simulations via molecular dynamics), will be considered if they meet certain criteria. For computational papers the requirements are that the methods used be specified in sufficient detail to permit replication of the results, and that the conclusions be shown to have relevance to experimental observations - the authors'' own data or data from the literature. Specific directions for the presentation of X-ray data are given below under Results and "discussion".
