A MUC1 type of glycopeptide was synthesized by the 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) protocol using benzyl and benzylidene-protected beta-D-Gal-(1-->3)-beta-D-GalNAc-Ser/Thr (TF-beta: a stereoisomer of the Thomsen-Friedenreich antigen). The synthetic glycopeptide was released from the resin with reagent K, and the resulting benzylated glycopeptide was deprotected under conditions of low-acidity trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TfOH). The glycopeptide carrying duplicate non-natural O-glycans was dominant in the products, but was accompanied by a considerable amount of the glycopeptide missing one of the O-glycans. In contrast, the native alpha-glycoside was relatively stable under the acidic debenzylation conditions as shown by a parallel experiment with the glycopeptide involving alpha-D-GalNAc-Ser/Thr linkage. Enzymatic glycosylation with CMP-NeuAc was successful with both natural and non-natural O-glycans of the synthetic glycopeptide.

Different CMP-bpe-M(ii) (CMP = cytidine monophosphate, bpe = bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene, M(ii) = Mn(2+) and Co(2+)) complexes are synthesized controllably based on pH control and well studied by X-ray single-crystal diffraction analysis. Interestingly, the suitable pH conditions are explored by considering the pre-organization modes of CMP, bpe, and M(2+) in aqueous solution by fluorescence spectroscopy based on acid/basic titration. The organic base bpe serves as a small-molecule fluorescent probe to indicate the changes of pre-organization modes along with the changes of the solution acidity. Furthermore, a perfect self-complementary sugar-base hydrogen bond is first reported based on the crystal structure analysis in this work, and different chiralities and SHG activities of CMP-bpe-Mn(ii) complexes obtained at different pH values are studied.
