ABSTRACT: The total synthesis of the 20 homogeneous members of mannosylerythritol lipids (MELs) with different alkyl chain lengths was effectively and systematically accomplished from a strategically designed common key intermediate that was stereoselectively constructed by the borinic acid catalyzed β-mannosylation reaction. In addition, their antibacterial activities against Gram-positive bacteria were evaluated. Our results demonstrated that not only the length of the alkyl chains but also the pattern of Ac groups on the mannose moiety were important factors for antibacterial activity.

annosylerythritol lipids (MELs) are natural glycolipid biosurfactants, which are produced in high yield by yeast strains of genus Pseudozyma,1 such as Pseudozyma antarctica (renamed from Candida antarctica) T-34.2 Structurally, MELs are composed of two parts, one is a hydrophilic 4-O-β-Dmannopyranosyl-D-erythritol moiety and the other is a hydrophobic moiety containing a mixture of C6−C18 fatty acyl chains at C2′ and C3′ of the mannose moiety. In addition, MELs possess one or two Ac groups at C4′ and/or C6′ of the mannose moiety. MEL-A possesses two Ac groups, whereas MEL-B and C possess one Ac group at C4′ and C6′, respectively. MEL-D does not possess Ac groups, as shown in Figure 1. Although only one total synthesis of the diastereomer type3 MEL-A(C12) bearing the 1-O-β-D-mannopyranosyl-Derythritol structure and its 1:1 mixture with MEL-A(C12) 4 has been reported by Crich et al.,4 the total synthesis of homogeneous MELs bearing the 4-O-β-D-mannopyranosyl-Derythritol structure has not yet been reported. MELs exhibit significant biochemical and physicochemical properties including low toxicity, biodegradability, biocompatibility, and surface activity. Thus, MELs have attracted much attention in the fields of food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries.5 In addition, it has been reported that MEL-A and B show high antibacterial activities against Gram-positive bacteria and weak activities against Gram-negative bacteria. The MIC values of MEL-A and B against Gram-positive bacteria were found to be smaller than those of other glycolipid biosurfactants, such as sucrose monocaprate (SE 10), sorbitan monolaurate (Span 20), and rhamnolipids (RLs).5a,6 Based on these reported results, we were interested in knowing whether © 2018 American Chemical Society

1,2-anhydro mannose 22 in high yield. Next, glycosyl acceptor 23 was synthesized from 31,11 which was prepared from Dglucose (26) in 3 steps. Selective reduction of the benzylidene acetal in 31 gave 32. Acetonide protection of the 1,2-diol in 32, followed by removal of the benzyl group, gave alcohol 23. Glycosylation of 22 and 23 was carried out using a catalytic amount of borinic acid 24 in MeCN at 0 °C for 2 h, which resulted in a 99% yield of desired β-mannoside 33 with excellent stereoselectivity. The anomeric configuration of 33 was determined by the 1JCH coupling constant, 155 Hz.12 Oxidative deprotection of the PMB group using CAN gave the common key intermediate 21 in high yield. Acylation of 21 using hexanoyl (C6), octanoyl (C8), decanoyl (C10), dodecanoyl (C12), or tetradecanoyl (C14) chloride, followed by deprotection of the benzyl groups, gave diols 34−38, respectively. Acetylation of the diols 34−38, followed by removal of the TBDPS and acetonide groups, gave MEL-A 1− 5, respectively. The 1H and 13C NMR data for samples of synthetic MEL-A 1−5 were in good agreement with those reported.4,13 Selective acetylation of the primary hydroxyl groups of 34−38, followed by removal of the TBDPS and acetonide groups, gave MEL-B 6−10, respectively. Alternatively, selective silylation of the primary hydroxyl groups 34− 38, followed by acetylation and removal of the TBDPS and acetonide groups, gave MEL-C 11−15, respectively. The 1H and 13C NMR data for samples of synthetic MEL-B and C were identical to the natural products.13 Finally, removal of the TBDPS and acetonide groups of 34−38 gave MEL-D 16−20, respectively. The 1H NMR data for samples of synthetic MELD were identical to the reported data.14 With chemically synthesized MELs 1−20 in hand, their antibacterial activities against Gram-positive bacterial strains, Micrococcus luteus (IFO3333), Staphylococcus aureus (FDA209P and MS16526, MRSA), Enterococci faecalis (JCM5803 and NCTC12201, VRE), and Enterococci faecium (JCM5804 and NCTC12202, VRE), were evaluated by the conventional agar dilution method. In this screening, VCM and RLs were also used as controls. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values for the compounds tested are given in Table 1. In the cases of M. luteus and S. aureus (FDA209P), the results showed that MEL-A and MEL-B exhibited antibacterial activities as previously reported by Kitamoto et al.6 In addition, it was revealed for the first time that MEL-A(C10) 3 and MELB(C10) 8, which are the main components of MEL-A [C8 (17.5%), C10 (71.3%), C12 (10.1%), C14 (1.1%)] and MEL-B [C8 (26.6%), C10 (58.6%), C12 (13.3%), C14 (1.5%)] produced from soybean oil by a yeast strain of P. antarctica T-34,2 were most effective among MEL-A 1−5 and MEL-B 6− 10, respectively. The shorter and longer alkyl chain length MEL-A and MEL-B were less effective, and the order of increasing antibacterial activity was C10 > C8 > C12 ≈ C14 ≈ C6. These results clearly indicated that the antibacterial properties were strongly influenced by the length of the alkyl chain. The same tendency was observed in MEL-C 11−15 and MEL-D 16−20, with MEL-D 18 showing the strongest antibacterial activity among MELs and another biosurfactant RLs tested. Moreover, although MELs 1−20 did not, unfortunately, show antibacterial activity against a MRSA strain, as in the case of RLs, MEL-D 18 was found to show high antibacterial activities against both VCM-sensitive Enterococci (VSE) and VRE strains, indicating that not only the length of the alkyl chain but also the pattern of Ac groups on the

structure−activity relationship studies, chemical synthesis of homogeneous and structurally well-defined MELs is essential because heterogeneity always exists in MELs obtained from microbial products, especially with respect to the chain length of the fatty acids. In this study, we focused on the systematic and stereoselective total synthesis of MELs 1−20 (Figure 1) with different fatty acid chain lengths and different patterns of Ac groups at C4′ and C6′ of the mannose moiety (MEL-A type 1−5, MEL-B type 6−10, MEL-C type 11−15, and MEL-D type 16−20) utilizing our recently developed borinic acid-catalyzed direct stereoselective β-mannosylation reaction8 as a key step. In addition, we investigated the antibacterial activity of the chemically synthesized MELs against several Gram-positive bacteria. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of detailed SAR studies regarding antibacterial activity using chemically synthesized homogeneous MELs. The retrosynthetic analysis of MELs 1−20 is shown in Scheme 1. Compounds 1−20 could be synthesized from our Scheme 1. Retrosynthetic Analysis of MELs 1−20

designed common key intermediate 21 by introduction of two fatty acyl chains and Ac groups to the appropriate positions as needed, followed by deprotection of the TBDPS and acetonide groups, to minimize the number of synthetic steps and to afford sufficient quantities of MELs for biological assays. The key intermediate 21 could be prepared by the β-stereoselective mannosylation of 1,2-anhydro mannose donor 22 and erythritol derivative acceptor 23 using a bis(4-fluorophenyl)borinic acid (24)9 catalyst. Compounds 22 and 23 could be prepared from D-mannose (25) and D-glucose (26), respectively. The total synthesis of MELs 1−20 is shown in Scheme 2. Initially, we synthesized the 1,2-anhydro donor 22 and glycosyl acceptor 23. Known mannoside 2710 was prepared from Dmannose (25) according to the reported procedure in 3 steps. Removal of Ac groups in 27, followed by selective silylation using t-butyldimethylsilyl chloride (TBSCl) of the primary alcohol in the mannoside, gave the desired 28 in 71% yield in 2 steps. Selective protection of the 3-OH with a p-methoxybenzyl (PMB) group using nBu2SnO, followed by deprotection of the TBS group, gave 29. Benzylation of the 4- and 6-OH groups and ring opening of orthoester 30 with trimethylsilyl chloride (TMSCl), followed by epoxide formation using tBuOK, gave 7282

mannose moiety were important factors for the antibacterial activity. In conclusion, the total synthesis of 20 homogeneous members of MELs, MEL-A, B, C, and D type, bearing 4-O-βD-mannopyranosyl-D-erythritol structures with different alkyl chain lengths, was achieved effectively and systematically from the common key intermediate 21, which was stereoselectively constructed by the borinic acid-catalyzed β-mannosylation reaction. Since our direct β-mannosylation method does not require the use of a donor with 2,6-, 3,6-, or 4,6-cyclic protection, which is essential for the most stereoselective βmannosylation methods,15 the synthesis of different types of MEL derivatives would be feasible easily based on the present synthetic route. In addition, it was revealed for the first time that the length of the alkyl chain of the MELs significantly affected their antibacterial activities, and MELs with decanoyl groups, 3, 8, 13, and 18, exhibited the most effective activities against M. luteus and S. aureus (FDA209P). Furthermore, MELD 18 was found to be highly effective even against VRE strains tested in this study. Therefore, we anticipate that the results presented here will contribute to the development of novel MEL-based antibacterial agents against multidrug-resistant Gram-positive bacteria. Although the mechanism of their antibacterial activity is still unclear at this stage, it has been previously reported that the physicochemical properties of biosurfactants are one of the factors responsible for the



EXPERIMENTAL SECTION

General Experimental Methods. NMR spectra were recorded on a JEOL ECA-500 (500 MHz for 1H, 125 MHz for 13C) spectrometer. 1 H NMR data are reported as follows: chemical shift in parts per million (ppm) downfield or upfield from CDCl3 (δ 7.26), CD3OD (δ 3.31), or tetramethyl silane (δ 0.00) integration, multiplicity (br = broad, s = singlet, d = doublet, t = triplet, q = quartet, and m = multiplet), and coupling constants (Hz). 13C NMR chemical shifts are reported in ppm downfield or upfield from CDCl3 (δ 77.0) or CD3OD (δ 49.0). For the measurement of the 1JCH coupling constant, undecoupled spectrum was obtained a gated decoupling technique; repetition time was 4.6 s, decoupling time 2.0 s. ESI-TOF mass spectra were measured on a Waters LCT premier XE. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was performed on JASCO apparatus with a Kaseisorb LC SIL-100-5 column (4.6 × 150 mm, Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.). Detection of products was made by RI (refractive index) detector (JASCO, RI-2031 Plus). Melting points were determined on a micro hot-stage (Yanako MP-S3) and were uncorrected. Optical rotations were measured on a JASCO P-2200 polarimeter. Silica gel TLC and column chromatography were performed using Merck TLC 60F-254 and Silica Gel 60N (spherical, neutral, 63-210 μm) (Kanto Chemical Co., Inc.), respectively. Airand/or moisture-sensitive reactions were carried out under an argon atmosphere using oven-dried glassware. 7283

Determination of the MICs by the Agar Dilution Method against Gram-Positive Bacteria. The MICs were examined by a serial agar dilution method according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines17 except for the media, which was Nutrient Broth containing with 18 g/L agar, final pH 6.9. The testorganism suspension was prepared at approximately 104 CFU per spot using a MIC-2000 (Dynatech Laboratories, Inc.) inoculum replicating apparatus. The MIC was defined as the lowest concentration of antibiotic that inhibited development of visible growth on the agar after 18 h of incubation at 37 °C. Compounds were dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide except for vancomycin, which was dissolved in water. Appropriate dilutions were made with the required culture medium immediately before testing. The MIC value was calculated from the geometric means from the value obtained by measuring the MIC three times.
