| Research Abstract |
In 1997, coyolosa was isolated from the Acrocomia mexicana root. It is worth noting that coyolosa, which is a new carbohydrate connected by a ether-linkage, shows a significant effect on the decreasing blood glucose level. So far, no studies on the sugar linkage by ether-bonding have ever been reported. Thus, we examined a novel synthesis of ether-connected pyranoses. We adopted an acetalization-reduction procedure, which is a convenient method for the preparation of ethers under non-basic conditions. Since a two-step procedure is inconvenient, the one-pot reductive etherification was also investigated. Utilizing the method mentioned above, various ether-connected pyranoses were synthesized. Their SAR studies showed that the mannose-connected pyranose has the hypoglycemic activity as potent as coyolosa, suggesting that the correct structure of coyolosa would be the mannose-connected pyranose rather than the proposed allose-connected one. We next examined a new approach utilizing regioselective ring opening of oxirane to give the rare sugars connected by ether linkage.
A novel synthesis of trehalose analogues by the glycosidation of 1C-methyl sugars is also developed.
