Abstract
This study reports the enzymatic synthesis of novel anticoagulant glycosides, α-salicin and α-isosalicin, through the transglycosylation of o-hydroxybenzyl alcohol (salicyl alcohol) catalyzed by marine-derived sucrose phosphorylase Suc75290. Under optimized conditions (240 g/L sucrose, 12 g/L o-hydroxybenzyl alcohol, 150 U/mL enzyme, pH 7.5, 45 °C, 20 h), a conversion rate of 79.17 ± 0.64 % was achieved, yielding 8.57 ± 0.33 g/L α-salicin and 0.52 ± 0.19 g/L α-isosalicin. Structural characterization by NMR confirmed the α-configuration of both compounds. In vitro anticoagulant assays demonstrated that these glycosides significantly prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT), and thrombin time (TT), while reducing fibrinogen (FIB) levels, indicating dual inhibition of intrinsic and extrinsic coagulation pathways. Molecular docking revealed key interactions between salicyl alcohol and Suc75290's active site. This work establishes an efficient enzymatic route to α-anomeric salicin analogs with therapeutic potential, circumventing the limitations of chemical synthesis. These two novel anticoagulant glycoside compounds enzymatically synthesized provide new research ideas for the development of anticoagulant drugs.
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".
