Resumo: | 3-O-methylmannose polysaccharides (MMPs) are cytoplasmic carbohydrates synthesized by mycobacteria, which play important intracellular roles, such as for example in metabolism regulation. An important way to confirm if the inhibition of the synthesis of these polysaccharides will critically affect the survival of mycobacteria is the study of the biosynthetic pathways from these molecules on these microorganisms. The purpose of this work is the efficient synthesis of three saccharides, which are rare cellular precursors from the biosynthesis of the mycobacterial polysaccharides, allowing its study. In order to obtain these molecules, a chemical strategy to connect two precursors was used. This process is called chemical glycosylation and its importance will be highlighted as an important alternative to enzymatic glycosylation. The first objective was the synthesis of the disaccharides Methyl (3-O-methyl-α-D-mannopyranosyl)-(1→4)-3-O-methyl-α-D-mannopyranoside and (3-O-Methyl-α-D-mannopyra- nosyl)-(1→4)-3-O-methyl-(α/β)-D-mannopyranose. The mannose precursors were prepared before the glycosylation reaction. The same mannosyl donor was used in the preparation of both molecules and its efficient synthesis was achieved using a 8 step synthetic route from D-mannose. A different mannosyl acceptor was used in the synthesis of each disaccharide and their syntheses were also efficient, the first one a 4 step synthetic route from α-methyl-D-mannose and the second one as an intermediate from the synthesis of the mannosyl donor. The stereoselective preparation of these disaccharides was performed successfully. The second and last objective of the proposed work was the synthesis of the tetrasaccharide methyl (3-O-methyl-α-D-mannopyranosyl-(1→4)-3-O-methyl-α-D-mannopyra- nosyl-(1→4)-3-O-methyl-α-D-mannopyranosyl-(1→4)-3-O-methyl-α-D-mannopyranoside. The disaccharide acceptor and donor to be linked through a stereoselective glycosidic reaction had to be first synthesized. Several synthetic strategies were studied. Neither the precursors nor the tetrasaccharide were synthesized, but a final promising synthetic route for its preparation has been proposed. |
