Polysaccharides: The “Click” Chemistry Impact
نویسندگان
چکیده
Polysaccharides are complex but essential compounds utilized in many areas such as biomaterials, drug delivery, cosmetics, food chemistry or renewable energy. Modifications and functionalizations of such polymers are often necessary to achieve molecular structures of interest. In this area, the emergence of the “click” chemistry concept, and particularly the copper-catalyzed version of the Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction between terminal acetylenes and azides, had an impact on the polysaccharides chemistry. The present review summarizes the contribution of “click” chemistry in the world of polysaccharides.

A one-pot approach to neoglycopeptides using orthogonal native chemical ligation and click chemistry.
The powerful combination of native chemical ligation and click chemistry has been used to affect a one-pot synthesis of neoglycopeptides from propargyl-containing peptides using GalNAc-N(3) as the glycan component. A versatile chemical toolkit for the fully convergent synthesis of neoglycoproteins using click chemistry, native chemical ligation, and kinetically controlled ligation is thus demon...
متن کاملClick grafting of seaweed polysaccharides onto PVC surfaces using an ionic liquid as solvent and catalyst.
Seaweed antibacterial polysaccharides were grafted onto poly(vinylchloride) (PVC) surfaces using an original click chemistry pathway. PVC isothiocyanate surfaces (PVC-NCS) were first prepared by nucleophilic substitution of the chloride groups by isothiocyanate groups in DMSO/water medium. Then, unmodified Ulvan, Fucan, Laminarin or Zosterin was directly grafted onto the PVC-NCS surface using 1...

Click chemistry is a powerful chemical reaction with excellent bioorthogonality features: biocompatible, rapid and highly specific in biological environments. For glycobiology, bioorthogonal click chemistry has created a new method for glycan non-invasive imaging in living systems, selective metabolic engineering, and offered an elite chemical handle for biological manipulation and glycomics st...
متن کاملClick Chemistry: Diverse Chemical Function from a Few Good Reactions.
Examination of nature's favorite molecules reveals a striking preference for making carbon-heteroatom bonds over carbon-carbon bonds-surely no surprise given that carbon dioxide is nature's starting material and that most reactions are performed in water. Nucleic acids, proteins, and polysaccharides are condensation polymers of small subunits stitched together by carbon-heteroatom bonds. Even t...
متن کاملAlkyl surface modification of nanoporous silica SBA-15 by click chemistry to obtain triazole products
In this study, Santa Barbara Amorphous (SBA-15) mesoporous silica has been functionalized with aminopropyl groups that were converted to propargyl-bearing moieties through the reaction with propargyl bromide. The material then underwent an efficient Cu(I)-catalyzed azide alkyne click reaction with sodium azide in order to obtain the corresponding triazole products. The covalent modification of ...
