Synthesis of Novel 6-triazologlycolipids Via Click Chemistry and Their Preliminary Cytotoxicity Assessments
Overview
Affiliations
Series of novel 6-triazole-linked galacto- or glucolipids were efficiently synthesized from O-benzylated sugar azides and various lipid alkynes via Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (click chemistry) followed by hydrogenolysis with PdCl(2)/H(2). Subsequent MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) assay toward a panel of human cancer cell lines revealed that these triazologlycolipids possess low-to-modest toxicity on A549 (lung), MCF-7 (breast), HeLa (cervix), and HepG2 (liver). Furthermore, both the carbon chain length at the lipid end and the epimeric identity of the glycosyl moiety were determined to impact their corresponding bioactivity.
