Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria are becoming increasingly resistant against multiple antibiotics. Therefore, the development of vaccines to prevent infections with these bacteria is an urgent medical need. While the immunological activity of lipopolysaccharide O-antigens in P. aeruginosa is well-known, the specific protective epitopes remain unidentified. Herein, we present the first chemical synthesis of highly functionalized aminoglycoside trisaccharide 1 and its acetamido derivative 2 found in the P. aeruginosa serotype O5 O-antigen. The synthesis of the trisaccharide targets is based on balancing the reactivity of disaccharide acceptors and monosaccharide donors. Glycosylations were analyzed by quantifying the reactivity of the hydroxyl group of the disaccharide acceptor using the orbital-weighted Fukui function and dual descriptor. The stereoselective formation of 1,2-cis-α-fucosylamine linkages was achieved through a combination of remote acyl participation and reagent modulation. The simultaneous SN2 substitution of azide groups at C2′ and C2″ enabled the efficient synthesis of 1,2-cis-β-linkages for both 2,3-diamino-D-mannuronic acids. Through a strategic orthogonal modification, the five amino groups on target trisaccharide 1 were equipped with a rare acetamidino (Am) and four acetyl (Ac) groups. Glycan microarray analyses of sera from patients infected with P. aeruginosa indicated that trisaccharides 1 and 2 are key antigenic epitopes of the serotype O5 O-antigen. The acetamidino group is not an essential determinant of antibody binding. The β-D-ManpNAc3NAcA residue is a key motif for the antigenicity of serotype O5 O-antigen. These findings serve as a foundation for the development of glycoconjugate vaccines targeting P. aeruginosa serotype O5.
