Eleven glycosyl coumarylthiazole derivatives are synthesized by cyclization and condensation of glycosyl thiourea with 3-bromoacetyl coumarins in ethanol. The reaction conditions are optimized and good yields of products (80%–95%) are obtained. The structures of all new products were confirmed by IR, 1H and 13C NMR, and by HRMS (electrospray ionization). The in vitro acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activities of these new compounds are tested by Ellman’s method. Among them, N-(2-acetamido-3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-4-(6-nitrocoumarinyl)-1,3-thiazole-2-amine showed the best activity with an in vitro AChE inhibitory rate of 58% and an IC50 value of 12 ± 0.38 μg/mL.

Several glycoconjugates of the diterpenoid isosteviol (16-oxo-ent-beyeran-19-oic acid) with a 1,2,3-triazolyl moiety were synthesized, and their cytotoxicity was evaluated against some human cancer and normal cell lines. Most of the synthesized compounds demonstrated weak inhibitory activities against the M-HeLa and MCF-7 human cancer cell lines. Three lead compounds, 54, 56 and 57, exhibited high selective cytotoxic activity against M-HeLa cells (IC50 = 1.7-1.9 μM) that corresponded to the activity of the anticancer drug doxorubicin (IC50 = 3.0 μM). Moreover, the lead compounds were not cytotoxic with respect to a Chang liver human normal cell line (IC50 > 100 μM), whereas doxorubicin was cytotoxic to this cell line (IC50 = 3.0 μM). It was found that cytotoxic activity of the lead compounds is due to induction of apoptosis proceeding along the mitochondrial pathway. The present findings suggest that 1,2,3-triazolyl-ring-containing glycoconjugates of isosteviol are a promising scaffold for the design of novel anticancer agents.

Bioproduction of N-acetyl-d-glucosamine (GlcNAc) from chitin, the second most abundant natural renewable polymer on earth, is of great value in which chitinolytic enzymes play key roles. In this study, a novel glycoside hydrolase family-18 β-N-acetylglucosaminidase (PbNag39) from Paenibacillus barengoltzii suitable for GlcNAc production was identified and biochemically characterized. It possessed a unique shallow catalytic groove (5.8 ?) as well as a smaller C-terminal domain (solvent-accessible surface area, 5.1 × 103 ?2) and exhibited strict substrate specificity toward N-acetyl chitooligosaccharides (COS) with GlcNAc as the sole product, showing a typical manner of action of β-N-acetylglucosaminidases. Thus, an environmentally friendly bioprocess for GlcNAc production from ball-milled powdery chitin by an enzyme cocktail reaction was further developed. By using the new route, the powdery chitin conversion rate increased from 23.3% (v/v) to 75.3% with a final GlcNAc content of 22.6 mg mL-1. The efficient and environmentally friendly bioprocess may have great application potential in GlcNAc production.
