    Abstract The biosynthesis of glycans is a highly conserved biological process and found in all domains of life. The expression of cell surface glycans is increasingly recognized as a target for therapeutic intervention given the role of glycans in major pathologies such as cancer and microbial infection. Herein, we summarize our contributions to the development of unnatural monosaccharide derivatives to infiltrate and alter the expression of both mammalian and bacterial glycans and their therapeutic application.

    Abstract Sialic acids cap the glycans of cell surface glycoproteins and glycolipids. They are involved in a multitude of biological processes, and aberrant sialic acid expression is associated with several pathologies, such as cancer. Strategies to interfere with the sialic acid biosynthesis can potentially be used for anticancer therapy. One well-known class of sialylation inhibitors is peracetylated 3-fluorosialic acids. We synthesized 3-fluorosialic acid derivatives modified at the C-4, C-5, C-8, and C-9 position and tested their inhibitory potency in vitro. Modifications at C-5 lead to increased inhibition, compared to the natural acetamide at this position. These structure-activity relationships could also be applied to improve the efficiency of sialic acid metabolic labeling reagents by modification of the C-5 position. Hence, these results improve our understanding of the structure-activity relationships of sialic acid glycomimetics and their metabolic processing.

    Abstract Fucosylation of glycans impacts a myriad of physiological and pathological processes. Inhibition of fucose expression emerges as a potential therapeutic avenue for example in cancer, inflammation, and infection. In this study, we found that protected 2-fluorofucose 1-phosphate efficiently inhibits cellular fucosylation with a four to seven times higher potency than known inhibitor 2FF, independently of the anomeric stereochemistry. Nucleotide sugar analysis revealed that both the α- and β-GDP-2FF anomers are formed inside the cell. In conclusion, we developed A2FF1P and B2FF1P as potent new tools for studying the role of fucosylation in health and disease and they are potential therapeutic candidates.

    Abstract It is not well understood why severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-CoV-2 spreads much faster than other β-coronaviruses such as SARS-CoV and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS)-CoV. In a previous publication, we predicted the binding of the N-terminal domain (NTD) of SARS-CoV-2 spike to sialic acids (SAs). Here, we experimentally validate this interaction and present simulations that reveal a second possible interaction between SAs and the spike protein via a binding site located in the receptor-binding domain (RBD). The predictions from molecular-dynamics simulations and the previously-published 2D-Zernike binding-site recognition approach were validated through flow-induced dispersion analysis (FIDA)─which reveals the capability of the SARS-CoV-2 spike to bind to SA-containing (glyco)lipid vesicles, and flow-cytometry measurements─which show that spike binding is strongly decreased upon inhibition of SA expression on the membranes of angiotensin converting enzyme-2 (ACE2)-expressing HEK cells. Our analyses reveal that the SA binding of the NTD and RBD strongly enhances the infection-inducing ACE2 binding. Altogether, our work provides

    Abstract Aberrant glycosylation is a hallmark of cancer and is not just a consequence, but also a driver of a malignant phenotype. In prostate cancer, changes in fucosylated and sialylated glycans are common and this has important implications for tumor progression, metastasis, and immune evasion. Glycans hold huge translational potential and new therapies targeting tumor-associated glycans are currently being tested in clinical trials for several tumor types. Inhibitors targeting fucosylation and sialylation have been developed and show promise for cancer treatment, but translational development is hampered by safety issues related to systemic adverse effects. Recently, potent metabolic inhibitors of sialylation and fucosylation were designed that reach higher effective concentrations within the cell, thereby rendering them useful tools to study sialylation and fucosylation as potential candidates for therapeutic testing. Here, we investigated the effects of global metabolic inhibitors of fucosylation and sialylation in the context of prostate cancer progression. We find that these inhibitors effectively shut down the synthesis of sialylated and fucosylated glycans to remodel the prostate cancer glycome with only minor apparent side effects on other glycan types. Our results demonstrate that treatment with inhibitors targeting fucosylation or sialylation decreases prostate cancer cell growth and downregulates the expression of genes and proteins important in the trajectory of disease progression. We anticipate our findings will lead to the broader use of metabolic inhibitors to explore the role of fucosylated and sialylated glycans in prostate tumor pathology and may pave the way for the development of new therapies for prostate cancer.

    Abstract Galactooligosaccharides (GOS) are widely used in the food industry as prebiotics and in very rare cases, can lead to an allergic reaction. Due to the microheterogeneity of GOS it is very difficult to extract pure and well defined oligosaccharides to establish which component is responsible for the observed allergenicity. Herein, we report the chemical synthesis of a suspected allergen 4PX and three closely related oligosaccharides based on a modular approach. The fact that synthesized 4PX and a regioisomer did not cause basophil activation in subjects with confirmed GOS-allergy excludes both tetrasaccharides as key-epitopes in GOS-allergenicity in Singapore.

    Abstract The sugar fucose is expressed on mammalian cell membranes as part of glycoconjugates and mediates essential physiological processes. The aberrant expression of fucosylated glycans has been linked to pathologies such as cancer, inflammation, infection, and genetic disorders. Tools to modulate fucose expression on living cells are needed to elucidate the biological role of fucose sugars and the development of potential therapeutics. Herein, we report a class of fucosylation inhibitors directly targeting de novo GDP-fucose biosynthesis via competitive GMDS inhibition. We demonstrate that cell permeable fluorinated rhamnose 1-phosphate derivatives (Fucotrim I & II) are metabolic prodrugs that are metabolized to their respective GDP-mannose derivatives and efficiently inhibit cellular fucosylation.

    Abstract Pathogens such as non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) evade the immune system by presenting host-derived sialic acids. NTHi cannot synthesize sialic acids and therefore needs to utilize sialic acids originating from host tissue. Here we report sialic acid-based probes to visualize and inhibit the transfer of host sialic acids to NTHi. Inhibition of sialic acid utilization by NTHi enhanced serum-mediated killing. Furthermore, in an in vitro model of the human respiratory tract, we demonstrate efficient inhibition of sialic acid transfer from primary human bronchial epithelial cells to NTHi using bioorthogonal chemistry.
