Synthetic Hydrogen-Bonding Receptors for Biologically Essential Monosaccharides
نویسنده
چکیده
Novel macrocyclic saccharide receptors that possess terpyridine skeletons as a hydrogen-bonding site are presented. On modification of the hydrogen-bonding sites and the macrocyclic bridges, the receptors showed selective bindings for ribofuranosides, deoxyribofuranosides, and glucopyranosides, respectively. The binding affinities of the receptors were very high, so that native monosaccharides were solubilized into nonpolar solvents in the presence of the receptors. The hydrogen-bonding interactions and the binding modes between them were characterized by 1H NMR spectroscopy.

Iterative design of a helically folded aromatic oligoamide sequence for the selective encapsulation of fructose.
The ab initio design of synthetic molecular receptors for a specific biomolecular guest remains an elusive objective, particularly for targets such as monosaccharides, which have very close structural analogues. Here we report a powerful approach to produce receptors with very high selectivity for specific monosaccharides and, as a demonstration, we develop a foldamer that selectively encapsula...
متن کاملRecognition properties of receptors based on dimesitylmethane-derived core: di- vs. monosaccharide preference.
Dimesitylmethane-derived receptors 12 and 13, incorporating four heterocyclic recognition groups capable of serving as hydrogen bonding sites, were designed to recognize disaccharides. It has been shown by 1H NMR and fluorescence spectroscopic titrations that compounds 12 and 13 display high binding affinities toward alpha- and beta-maltoside, as well as strong di- vs monosaccharide preference ...
متن کاملHighly effective receptors showing di- vs. monosaccharide preference.
Receptors and , incorporating two heterocyclic recognition units as well as oxime- or hydroxymethyl-based hydrogen-bonding sites, were prepared, and their binding properties toward neutral sugars were determined. The design of these receptors was inspired by the binding motifs observed in the crystal structure of protein-carbohydrate complexes. The receptors and are able to recognize both mono-...
متن کاملPyrrolic tripodal receptors for carbohydrates. Role of functional groups and binding geometry on carbohydrate recognition.
The contribution from several H-bonding groups and the impact of geometric requirements on the binding ability of benzene-based tripodal receptors toward carbohydrates have been investigated by measuring the affinity of a set of structures toward octyl β-D-glucopyranoside, selected as a representative monosaccharide. The results reported in the present study demonstrate that a judicious choice ...
متن کاملCombined study of anion recognition by a carbazole-based neutral tripodal receptor in a competitive environment.
Anion recognition studies have been carried out on a series of neutral synthetic receptors in which carbazole-2-carboxamide has been used as building block. Different ligands which include one to three carbazole units in their structure have been prepared. Binding experiments have been performed under competitive conditions in DMSO and DMSO-water solutions. The tripodal receptor offered a bette...
