Sialyl Lewisx (SLex, Siaα2–3Galβ1–4(Fucα1–3)GlcNAcβOR) is an important sialic acid-containing carbohydrate epitope involved in many biological processes such as inflammation and cancer metastasis. In the biosynthetic process of SLex, α2–3-sialyltransferase-catalyzed sialylation generally proceeds prior to α1–3-fucosyltransferase-catalyzed fucosylation. For the chemoenzymatic synthesis of SLex containing different sialic acid forms, however, it would be more efficient if diverse sialic acid forms are transferred in the last step to the fucosylated substrate Lewisx (Lex). An α2–3-sialyltransferase obtained from myxoma virus-infected European rabbit kidney RK13 cells (viral α2–3-sialyltransferase (vST3Gal-I)) was reported to be able to tolerate fucosylated substrate Lex. Nevertheless, the substrate specificity of the enzyme was only determined using partially purified protein from extracts of cells infected with myxoma virus. Herein we demonstrate that a previously reported multifunctional bacterial enzyme Pasteurella multocida sialyltransferase 1 (PmST1) can also use Lex as an acceptor substrate, although at a much lower efficiency compared to nonfucosylated acceptor. In addition, N-terminal 30-amino-acid truncated vST3Gal-I has been successfully cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli Origami™ B(DE3) cells as a fusion protein with an N-terminal maltose binding protein (MBP) and a C-terminal His6-tag (MBP-Δ30vST3Gal-I-His6). The viral protein has been purified to homogeneity and characterized biochemically. The enzyme is active in a broad pH range varying from 5.0 to 9.0. It does not require a divalent metal for its α2–3-sialyltransferase activity. It has been used in one-pot multienzyme sialylation of Lex for the synthesis of SLex containing different sialic acid forms with good yields. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: (−)-Quinic acid was used as a starting material for the preparation of sialyl Lewisx mimetics in order to target E-selectin. Spatial orientation of the hydroxyl groups of quinic acid could mimic the l-fucose ones. Introduction of a side chain ending with a carboxylic acid was effected to replace the sialic acid interaction at the carbohydrate recognition domain. A first series of derivatives, incorporating amino acids linked to quinic acid, were tested for their affinity and found to interact with E-selectin with IC50 within the millimolar range.

Les sélectines E et P sont des cibles thérapeutiques importantes pour traiter les maladies inflammatoires. En effet, elles jouent un rôle clé dans le recrutement de leucocytes au site d’inflammation. En réponse à un stimulus inflammatoire, les cellules endothéliales des parois vasculaires expriment les sélectines E et P dont les ligands ESL-1 et PSGL-1 sont situés à la surface des leucocytes. Ces protéines d’adhésion interagissent avec le tétrasaccharide sialyl LewisX présent sur ESL-1 et PSGL-1 afin de médier le roulement et la capture des leucocytes au site de l’inflammation. Malheureusement, une accumulation excessive de leucocytes peut mener à plusieurs conditions aiguës ou chroniques, telles que l’accident vasculaire cérébral, les crises vaso-occlusives, l’arthrite rhumatoïde et les maladies respiratoires. Les sélectines sont également impliquées dans la métastase des cellules cancéreuses. Par conséquent, il existe un réel besoin de trouver des antagonistes des sélectines, tels que des analogues du sLeX. Des études récentes ont permis d’en savoir davantage sur la conformation bioactive de sLeX ainsi que d’identifier les pharmacophores importants à la liaison. Une première génération de mimétiques du sLeX comportant un tartrate précédemment rapporté par notre laboratoire a été testé et a démontré une activité prometteuse. En se basant sur ces résultats, l’objectif de mes travaux de maîtrise décrits dans ce mémoire était la synthèse d’une seconde génération de d’analogues où le tartrate est fonctionnalisé avec une chaine latérale qui possède un pharmacophore anionique afin de lier un second site de liaison sur les sélectines. Des études préliminaires ont permis d’identifier 2 candidats ayant une meilleure activité que la première génération., E- and P-selectins are important drug targets for treating inflammation related diseases. They play a key role in leukocyte recruitment at sites of injury, which is an important defense mechanism of the immune system. In response to inflammatory stimuli, the vascular cell walls express E- and P-selectins that bind to complementary transmembrane glycoprotein ligands ESL-1 and PSGL-1 located on the surface of leukocytes. These adhesion proteins interact with sialyl LewisX, a tetrasaccharide bound to ESL-1 and PSGL-1 to mediate the rolling and capture of leukocytes at sites of inflammation. Unfortunately, excessive infiltration or accumulation of leukocytes leads to several acute or chronic conditions such as stroke, rheumatoid arthritis and respiratory diseases. E- and P-selectins are also involved in cancer metastasis and in complications for sickle cell diseased patients. Therefore, there is a medical need for drugs that could prevent this excessive recruitment of leukocytes, such as novel sLeX analogues. Recent studies have provided insights into the bioactive conformation of sLeX binding to E- or P-selectins, revealing key pharmacophores. Previously, a first generation of tartrate-based mimetics synthesized and tested by our group have exhibited exciting results. Building upon these results, the objectives of my Master’s research presented in this thesis was to synthesize a second generation of sLeX mimetics functionalized at the acyclic tartrate tether with a side chain bearing an anionic pharmacophore could afford favorable interactions with a second binding site on the selectins. Preliminary results allowed us to isolate two analogues presenting better activity than our first generation of antagonists.
