Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to sialic acid derivatives and galactose derivatives, more particularly gangliosides and intermediate compounds for use in producing gangliosides, and to methods for producing the same.
Glycolipids found in mammal cells are glycosides between ceramides, which are sphingosines (long chain amino alcohols) to which aliphatic acids have been attached through an amide linkage, and one or more sugars such as glucose, galactose, N-acetyl glucosamine, N-acetyl galactosamine, fucose, sialic acid, etc. Among these glycosides, those containing sialic acid are called gangliosides.
Gangliosides exist mainly in the outer molecular layer of double molecular layers of the mammal cell membrane. Recent studies show that gangliosides play important roles in reception and recognition of, and response to, information in cells, receptor mechanism, differentiation, cell propagation, malignant cell transformation, cell behavior, etc.
However it is very difficult to isolate sialic acid residue-containing oligosaccharides from an organism. Therefore precise synthesis of such sialic acid residue-containing oligosaccharides is necessary for the elucidation of the precise correlation between biological information and the molecular structure of the oligosaccharides.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An object of this invention is to provide novel gangliosides, novel sialic acid derivatives for use in producing the gangliosides and methods for producing the same.
Another object of this invention is to provide novel galactose and lactose derivatives which can be used as intermediate compounds in producing the gangliosides and methods for producing the same.
The novel sialic acid derivatives of this invention are represented by the formula I. ##STR1## wherein, R.sub.1 is hydrogen or acetyl group, one of R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 is --COOR.sub.4 wherein R.sub.4 is hydrogen, alkali metal such as sodium and potassium, alkaline earth metal such as calcium or methyl group, the other of R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 is ##STR2## wherein R.sub.5 is hydrogen, acetyl or benzyl group, R.sub.6 is hydrogen or acetyl group, R.sub.7 is hydrogen, acetyl or benzyl group, or ##STR3## wherein R.sub.8 is hydrogen, acetyl or benzyl group, R.sub.9 is hydrogen, benzyl, allyl, monochloroacetyl, -C(CCl.sub.3).dbd.NH or ##STR4## wherein R.sub.10 is hydrogen or benzoyl group, or R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 show together ##STR5## wherein Bn is benzyl group.

D-Lactose octaacetate (1) is treated with tri (n-butyl) tin allyloxide in a solvent such as ethylene chloride in the presence of a catalyst such as tin tetrachloride to obtain allyl derivative (2) which is then deacetylated by a conventional manner, e.g. by NaOMe/MeOH to obtain the deacetylated compound (3) which is further reacted with 2,2-dimethoxypropane and p-toluenesulfonic acid in acetone/DMF. 3', 4'-O-isopropylidene derivative (4) and 4', 6'-O-isopropylidene derivative (5) are obtained. With or without the isolation of the compounds (4) and (5), they are treated with benzyl bromide in DMF in the presence of NaH to obtain penta-O-benzyl derivatives (6) and (7) which are then treated with 90% acetic acid in water to remove isopropylidene group. The compounds (8) and (9) are obtained.
The compound (4) is acetylated by acetic anhydride/pyridine, followed by the treatment with 90% CF.sub.3 COOH to obtain the compound (11).
Benzyl 3', 4'-O-isopropylidene lactose (F) is treated in DMF with benzyl bromide in the presence of NaH to obtain benzyl derivative (G) which is then treated with aqueous acetic acid solution to remove isopropylidene group. Hexa-O-benzyl derivative (H) is obtained.
Galactose derivatives which can be used in producing the sialic acid derivatives of this invention can be prepared as follows. Benzyl galactoside (A) suspended in acetone is reacted with 2,2-dimethoxypropane in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid to obtain 3,4-0-isopropylidene derivative (B) which is then reacted with benzyl bromide in a solvent, e.g. DMF in the presence of NaH to convert it into tribenzyl derivative (C) which is subsequently treated with aqueous acetic acid solution to remove isopropylidene group. The compound (D) is obtained. ##STR10##
(c) Synthesis of Sialic Acid Derivatives
The compound (8), (9), (11), (D) or (H) is reacted with N-acetyl neuraminic acid acetate methyl ester (E) which can be produced by the Kuhn's method, if necessary, followed by the removal of protective groups, to obtain sialic acid derivatives of this invention.
The reaction between the compound (8), (9), (11), (D) or (H) and the compound (E) is carried out in a solvent such as dichloromethane or 1,2-dichloroethane in the presence of a glycosidation catalyst such as Hg(CN).sub.2, HgBr.sub.2, molecular sieve (hereinafter referred to as MS), Ag.sub.2 CO.sub.3, AgClO.sub.4, AgOSO.sub.2 CF.sub.3, (CH.sub.3).sub.3 COSO.sub.2 CF.sub.3, etc. at -20.degree.

Trisaccharide (12), (13), (14), (45), (46) or (47) or disaccharide (31), (32) or (33) is obtained. The removal of protective groups of these compounds gives the desired compounds, respectively. The compound (13) is acetylated by acetic anhydride-pyridine to give the compound (15) which is then treated with PdCl.sub.2 and AcONa/AcOH to remove allyl group. The resulting compound (16) is treated with monochloroacetic anhydride-pyridine to obtain the compound (17). Catalytic reduction of the compound (17) and subsequent acetylation give the compound (18) which is then treated sodium acetate and thiourea in a solvent such as ethanol to give the compound (19). Treatment of the compound (19) with trichloroacetonitrile in the presence of NaH in a solvent such as CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 gives the compound (20). This compound is reacted with the ceramide (IV) in the presence of MS4A and BF.sub.3.Et.sub.2 O to give the compound (21). Deacetylation and debenzoylation of the compound (21) give the compound (22) or ganglioside GM.sub.3.
The compound (23) is treated in a similar manner to give a epimer of ganglioside GM.sub.3 (28) (see scheme 5). Alternatively, ganglioside GM.sub.3 (the compound (22)) may be produced as follows:
The compound (47) is acetylated by acetic anhydridepyridine to obtain the compound (52). Catalytic reduction of this compound is carried out in a solvent such as MeOH using 10% Pd-C to remove benzyl groups. The resulting debenzylated compound (53) is acetylated by acetic anhydride-pyridine to obtain peracetate (54) which is then treated with hydrazinium acetate in a solvent such as DMF at 30.degree. C. to 80.degree. C. for 5 to 30 minutes to obtain the compound (19) which is subsequently reacted with trichloroacetonitrile in a solvent such as methylene chloride in the presence of NaH under ice-cooled condition. The resulting compound (20) is reacted with the ceramide (IV) under an inert gas atmosphere such as argon in the presence of a glycosidation catalyst such as BF.sub.3.Et.sub.2 O/molecular sieve 4.ANG.. The compound (21) thus obtained is treated in a conventional manner to remove acetyl and benzoyl groups and neutralized by Amberlist A-15 (tradename) to obtain ganglioside GM.sub.3 (22).
