Synthesis of Glycosides of Glucuronic, Galacturonic and Mannuronic Acids: An Overview
نویسنده
چکیده
Uronic acids are carbohydrates present in relevant biologically active compounds. Most of the latter are glycosides or oligosaccharides linked by their anomeric carbon, so their synthesis requires glycoside-bond formation. The activation of this anomeric center remains difficult due to the presence of the electron-withdrawing C-5 carboxylic group. Herein we present an overview of glucuronidation, mannuronidation and galacturonidation reactions, including syntheses of prodrugs, oligosaccharides and stereochemical aspects.

Differential gas-liquid chromatography method for determination of uronic acids in carbohydrate mixtures.
An integrated gas-liquid chromatography method is described for the quantitation of mixtures containing simple monosaccharides in addition to mannuronic, glucuronic, and/or galacturonic acids. A hydrolyzed sample is divided into two portions. One portion is analyzed by the standard aldononitrile method. Glucuronic, galacturonic, and mannuronic acids are converted into compounds that do not chro...
متن کاملStudies on bacterial utilization of uronic acids. 4. Alginolytic and mannuronic acid oxidizing isolates.
Several species of bacteria are known to utilize galacturonic and glucuronic acids (Thofern and Hollmann, 1956; Payne and Carlson, 1957; and McRorie, Williams, and Payne, 1959), but there have been no reports of utilization of mannuronic acid. DeLey (1953) and Starr, DeLey, and Kilgore (1957) observed that Aerobacter cloacae and Erwinia carotovora did not metabolize this acid. We have found (Pa...
متن کاملAmides of glucuronic, galacturonic, and mannuronic acids.
Heretofore the amides of glucuronic, galacturonic, and mannuronic acid were not known, and methods were not available for their preparation. It has now been found possible to obtain the amides of uronic acids from the corresponding 1-amino-uronamides by selective hydrolysis of the glycosylamino group. An aqueous solution of the 1-amino-uronamide is treated with an acid or a suitable cation exch...
متن کاملSimultaneous Gas-liquid Chromatographic Determination of Aldoses and Alduronic Acids
Aldoses and alduronic acids can be simultaneously identified and quantitated by wide-bore capillary gas-liquid chromatography. The aldoses are converted to alditol acetates and the alduronic acids are converted to their corresponding N-propylaldonamide acetates. Standard mixtures containing as little as 100 ng each of arabinose, xylose, mannose, galactose, glucose, inositol, mannuronic, glucuro...
متن کاملA new enzymatic method for the determination of free and conjugated glucuronic acid.
A new method is reported for the quantitative determination of glucuronic and galacturonic acid, which is based on spectrophotometric measurement of NADH. The NAD-linked oxidation of the uronic acids to the corresponding dicarboxylic acids is measured in the presence of uronic acid dehydrogenase. This enzyme was isolated from Pseudomonas syringae. The test is highly specific for glucuronic and ...
