Arabinogalactan, a microheterogeneous polysaccharide occurring in plants, is known for its allergy-protective activity, which could potentially be used for preventive allergy treatment. New treatment options are highly desirable, especially in a preventive manner, due to the constant rise of atopic diseases worldwide. The structural origin of the allergy-protective activity of arabinogalactan is, however, still unclear and isolation of the polysaccharide is not feasible for pharmaceutical applications due to a variation of the activity of the natural product and contaminations with endotoxins. Therefore, a pentasaccharide partial structure was selected for total synthesis and subsequently coupled to a carrier protein to form a neoglycoconjugate. The allergy-protective activity of arabinogalactan could be reproduced with the partial structure in subsequent in vivo experiments. This is the first example of a successful simplification of arabinogalactan with a single partial structure while retaining its allergy-preventive potential.

The homogeneously glycosylated 76-amino acid adiponectin collagenous domains (ACDs) with all of the possible 15 glycoforms have been chemically and individually synthesized using stereoselective glycan synthesis and chemical peptide ligation. The following biological and pharmacological studies enabled correlating glycan pattern to function in the inhibition of cancer cell growth as well as the regulation of systemic energy metabolism. In particular, hAdn-WM6877 was tested in detail with different mouse models and it exhibited promising in vivo antitumor, insulin sensitizing, and hepatoprotective activities. Our studies demonstrated the possibility of using synthetic glycopeptides as the adiponectin downsized mimetic for the development of novel therapeutics to treat diseases associated with deficient adiponectin.

This study describes a new convenient method for the photocatalytic generation of glycosyl fluorides using sulfur(VI) hexafluoride as an inexpensive and safe fluorinating agent and 4,4′-dimethoxybenzophenone as a readily available organic photocatalyst. This mild method was employed to generate 16 different glycosyl fluorides, including the substrates with acid and base labile functionalities, in yields of 43%-97%, and it was applied in continuous flow to accomplish fluorination on an 7.7 g scale and 93% yield.
