Abstract

Isomeric S-linked-2-thioxylobiose 10, 3-thioxylobiose 17, and 4-thioxylobioise 19 were conveniently prepared by Sn2 displacement of suitable triflylglycoses with the sodium salt of 2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-1-thio-β-d-glucopyranose, either in N,N-dimethylformamide, or in oxolan in the presence of a sodium complexing agent. Allyl 3,5-O-isopropylidene-2-O-trifluoromethanesulfonyl-β-d-lyxofuranoside was a convenient electrophilic precursor for 10, which was smoothly obtained after a short sequence of deprotection involving conversion to the 1-propenyl glycoside. 1,2:5,6-Di-O-isopropylidene-3-O-trifluoromethylsulfonyl-α-d-allofuranose and 1,2,3-tri-O-benzoyl-4-O-trifluoromethylsulfonyl-β-l-arabinopyranose were the respective precursors for 17 and 19. 4-Thioxylobiose has a highly stimulatory effect on the synthesis of enzymes of the xylanolytic system in the yeast Cryptococcus albidus when applied to the cells in the presence of the natural disaccharide inducer (1→4)-β-d-xylobiose.

      N-Glycosides have received considerable attention, because they are widely employed as biological inhibitors [19–23], inducers [24] and ligands [25–27] for affinity chromatography of carbohydrate-processing enzymes and proteins. Moreover, they are promising candidates in synthetic carbohydrate chemistry as convenient and versatile glycosyl donors [28]. Among these glycosyl donors are the N-glycosyl heterocycles that are sufficiently stable under a variety of reaction conditions and have the ability to be readily converted into a variety of other functionalities.

      On the other hand, thioglycosides have received considerable attention, because they are widely employed as biological inhibitors [19–22], inducers [23] and ligands [24–26] for affinity chromatography for carbohydrate processing-enzymes and proteins. Thiopyridyl glycosides were extensively studied because of their potential activity as glycosyl donors [27]. A number of novel synthesized functionalized pyridinethione glycosides have been shown to exhibit antagonistic activity against human carcinoma cells and HIV-virus [28–30].
