Chemical synthesis of 4-azido-β-galactosamine derivatives for inhibitors of N-acetylgalactosamine 4-sulfate 6-O-sulfotransferase

Chondroitin sulfate E (CS-E) plays a crucial role in diverse processes ranging from viral infection to neuroregeneration. Its regiospecific sulfation pattern, generated by N -acetylgalactosamine 4-sulfate 6- O -sulfotransferase (GalNAc4S-6ST), is the main structural determinant of its biological act...

Description
Summary:Chondroitin sulfate E (CS-E) plays a crucial role in diverse processes ranging from viral infection to neuroregeneration. Its regiospecific sulfation pattern, generated by N -acetylgalactosamine 4-sulfate 6- O -sulfotransferase (GalNAc4S-6ST), is the main structural determinant of its biological activity. Inhibitors of GalNAc4S-6ST can serve as powerful tools for understanding physiological functions of CS-E and its potential therapeutic leads for human diseases. A family of new 4-acylamino-β-GalNAc derivatives and 4-azido-β-GalNAc derivatives were synthesized for their potential application as inhibitors of GalNAc4S-6ST. The target compounds were evaluated for their inhibitory activities against GalNAc4S-6ST. The results revealed that 4-pivaloylamino- and 4-azido-β-GalNAc derivatives displayed evident activities against GalNAc4S-6ST with IC 50 value ranging from 0.800 to 0.828 mM. They showed higher activities than benzyl D-GalNAc4S that was used as control.
