Abstract:

Known allyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-alpha-D-glucopyranoside was first converted into methyl (prop-1-enyl 2,3-di-O-benzyl-4-O-chloroacetyl-alpha-D-glucopyranosid)-uronate. Acid hydrolysis, followed by treatment with (bromomethylene)dimethyl-ammonium bromide, gave methyl (2,3-di-O-benzyl-4-O-chloroacetyl-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl bromide)uronate. Condensation of this bromide with 3-O-acetyl-1,6-anhydro-2-azido-2-deoxy-4-O-(methyl 2,3-di-O-benzyl-4-O-chloroacetyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyluronate)-bet a-D-glucopyranose. Acetolysis, followed by treatment with titanium tetrabromide, then gave 3,6-di-O-acetyl-2-azido-2-deoxy-4-O-(methyl 2,3-di-O-benzyl-4-O-chloroacetyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyluronate)-alp ha-D-glucopyranosyl bromide. Condensation of this bromide with benzyl 6-O-acetyl-3-O-benzyl-2-benzyloxy- carbonylamino-2-deoxy-4-O-(methyl 2-O-acetyl-3-O-benzyl-alpha-L- idopyranosyluronate)-alpha-D-glucopyranoside provided benzyl O-(methyl 2,3-di-O-benzyl-4-O-chloroacetyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyluronate)-(1- ---4)-O-(3,6-di-O-acetyl- -2-azido-2-deoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl)-(1----4)-O-(methyl 2-O-acetyl-3-O-benzyl-alpha-L-idopyranosyluronate)-(1----4)-6-O-ac etyl-3-O- acetyl-3-O-benzyl-2-benzyloxycarbonylamino-2-deoxy-alpha-D-gluc opyranoside. O-Dechloroacetylation followed by condensation with 6-O-acetyl-2-azido-3,4-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl bromide provided benzyl O-(6-O-acetyl-2-azido-3,4-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)- (1----4)-O-(methyl 2,3-di-O-benzyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyluronate)-(1----4)- O-(3,6-di-O-acetyl-2-azido-2-deoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl)-(1----4)-O-(m ethyl 2-O-acetyl-3-O-benzyl-alpha-L-idopyranosyluronate)-(1----4)-6-O-ac etyl-3-O- benzyl-2-benzyloxycarbonylamino-2-deoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranoside in 70% yield. O-Deacetylation followed by re-esterification, O-sulfation, saponification, catalytic hydrogenolysis, and N-sulfation gave the decasodium salt of O-(2-deoxy-2-sulfamido-6-O-sulfo-alpha-D- glucopyranosyl)-(1----4)-O-(beta-D-glucopyranosyluronic acid)-(1----4)-O-(2-deoxy-2-sulfamido-3,6-di-O-sulfo-alpha-D-gl ucopyranosyl)-(1----4)-O-(2-O-sulfo-alpha-L-idopyranosyluronic+ ++ acid)-(1----4)-2-deoxy-2-sulfamido-6-O-sulfo-D-glucopyranose. This synthetic pentasaccharide binds to antithrombin III with an association constant similar to that of high-affinity heparin and elicits a potent anti-factor Xa activity in plasma.
