Activation of enzymatically produced chitooligosaccharides by dioxyamines and dihydrazides
Résumé
Reducing end activation of poly-and oligosaccharides by bifunctional dioxyamines and dihydrazides enables aniline-free and cyanoborohydride-free conjugation to aldehyde-containing molecules, particles and surfaces without compromising the chain structure. Chitosans are due to their polycationic character, biodegradability, and bioactivity important candidates for conjugation. Here, we present a kinetic and structural study of the conjugation of a dioxyamine and a dihydrazide to enzymatically produced chitooligosaccharides ranging from N,N'-diacetylchitobiose to a decamer, all having N-acetyl D-glucosamine at the reducing end. Conjugation of the dioxyamine resulted in mixtures of (E)-and (Z)-oximes and β-N-pyranoside, whereas the dihydrazide yielded cyclic N-glycosides. Reaction kinetics was essentially independent of DP. Stable secondary amines were in both cases obtained by reduction with α-picoline borane, but higher temperatures were needed to obtain acceptable reduction rate. Comparison to dextran oligomers shows that the nature of the reducing end strongly influences the kinetics of both the conjugation and reduction.
