Conformational preferences of two C-glycosyl analogues of Manp-(1 → 3)-Manp, were studied using a combined method of theoretical and experimental chemistry. Molecular dynamics was utilized to provide conformational behavior along C-glycosidic bonds of methyl 3-deoxy-3-C-[(α-d-mannopyranosyl)methyl]-α-d- and l-mannopyranosides. The OPLS2005 and Glycam06 force fields were used. Simulations were performed with explicit water (TIP3P) and methanol. Results were compared with a complete conformational scan at the MM4 level with the dielectric constant corresponding to methanol. In order to verify predicted conformational preferences, vicinal 3JHH NMR coupling constants were calculated by the Karplus equation on simulated potential energy surfaces (PES). A set of new parameters for the Karplus equation was also designed. Predicted 3JHH were compared with experimental data. We also used reverse methodology, in which the 3JHH coupling constants were calculated at the DFT level for each family of (ϕ, ψ)-conformers separately and then experimental values were decomposed onto calculated 3JHH couplings in order to obtain experimentally derived populations of conformers. As an alternative method of evaluation of preferred conformers, analysis of sensitive 13C chemical shifts was introduced. We were able to thoroughly discuss several fundamental issues in predictions of preferred conformers of C-saccharides, such as the solvent effect, reliability of the force field, character of empirical Karplus equation or applicability of NMR parameters in predictions of conformational preferences in general.

The discovery of effective ligands for DC-SIGN receptor is one of the most challenging concepts of antiviral drug design due to the importance of this C-type lectin in infection processes. DC-SIGN recognizes mannosylated and fucosylated oligosaccharides but glycosidic linkages are accessible to both chemical and enzymatic degradations. To avoid this problem, the synthesis of stable glycoside mimetics has attracted increasing attention. In this work we establish for the first time mono- and divalent C-glycosides based on d-manno and l-fuco configurations as prospective DC-SIGN ligands. In particular, the l-fucose glycomimetics were more active than the respective d-mannose ones. The highest affinity was assessed for simple 1,4-bis(α-l-fucopyranosyl)butane (SPR: IC50 0.43 mM) that displayed about twice higher activity than natural ligand Lex. Our results make C-glycosides attractive candidates for multivalent presentations.

An approach to stereoselective synthesis of alpha- or beta-3-C-glycosylated L- or D-1,2-glucals starting from the corresponding alpha- or beta-glycopyranosylethanals is described. The key step of the approach is the stereoselective cycloaddition of chiral vinyl ethers derived from both enantiomers of mandelic acid. The preparation of 1,5-anhydro-4,6-di-O-benzyl-2,3-dideoxy-3-C-[(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)methyl]-L-arabino-hex-1-enitol, 1,5-anhydro-4,6-di-O-benzyl-2,3-dideoxy-3-C-[(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)methyl]-D-arabino-hex-1-enitol, and 1,5-anhydro-4,6-di-O-benzyl-2,3-dideoxy-3-C-[(2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-alpha-L-fucopyranosyl)methyl]-D-arabino-hex-1-enitol serves as an example of this approach.
