The polysaccharide mannan is the main surface antigen of the cell wall of Candida fungi, playing an important role in the pathogenesis of diseases caused by these mycopathogens. Mannan has a complex, comb-like structure and includes a variety of structural units, with their combination varying depending on the Candida species and strain. Glucomannan, a polysaccharide from Candida utilis, contains terminal α-d-glucose residues attached to oligomannoside side chains. This paper describes the first synthesis of a pentasaccharide structurally related to C. utilis glucomannan fragment, which is an α-(1→2)-linked tetramannoside terminated at the non-reducing end by an α-d-glucopyranosyl residue. The pentasaccharide was obtained as a 3-aminopropyl glycoside, which made it possible to synthesize also its biotinylated derivative, suitable for various glycobiological studies. The most complicated step in the pentasaccharide synthesis was stereoselective 1,2-cis-glycosylation to attach the α-d-glucopyranosyl residue. This was accomplished using a glucosyl donor specially developed in our laboratory, the protecting groups of which provide the necessary α-stereoselectivity. The target biotinylated pentasaccharide thus obtained will be used in the future as a model antigen for the detection of immunodeterminant epitopes of Candida mannans. |
