- d-Fructose Modification Enhanced Internalization of Mixed Micelles in Breast Cancer Cells via GLUT5 Transporters
-
d-Fructose modified poly(ε-caprolactone)-polyethylene glycol (PCL-PEG-Fru) diblock amphiphile is synthesized via Cu(I)-catalyzed click chemistry, which self-assembles with D-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (TPGS) into PCL-PEG-Fru/TPGS mixed micelles (PPF MM). It has been proven that glucose transporter (GLUT)5 is overexpressed in MCF-7 cells other than L929 cells. In this study, PPF MM exhibit a significantly higher uptake efficiency than fructose-free PCL-PEG-N3/TPGS mixed micelles in both 2D MCF-7 cells and 3D tumor spheroids. Also, the presence of free d-fructose competitively inhibits the internalization of PPF MM in MCF-7 cells other than L929 cells. PPF MM show selective tumor accumulation in MCF-7 breast tumor bearing mice xenografts. Taken together, PPF MM represent a promising nanoscale carrier system to achieve GLUT5-mediated cell specific delivery in cancer therapy. (Figure presented.).

- Concise synthesis of chiral N -Benzyl-α,α-Diarylprolinols through shi asymmetric epoxidation
-
A concise and practical synthesis of chiral N-benzyl-α,α- diaryl-2-prolinols was developed through Shi asymmetric epoxidation, followed by double nucleophilic substitution of bromo-containing olefins. A series of enantioenriched N-benzyl-α,α-diaryl-2-prolinols were obtained with excellent enantioselectivities (96% ee) in moderate to good yields (40-76% yield). For the first time, enantiopure N-benzyl-α,α-diphenyl-2- prolinol was obtained from bromo-containing olefin using this methodology. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart, New York.

- A convenient synthesis of L-ribose from D-fructose
-
An efficient method for the stereoselective synthesis of L-ribose was accomplished starting from commercially inexpensive D-fructose. The intermediates in the process can serve as versatile precursors for the preparation of L-nucleoside analogues.

- Novel synthesis of (+)-hydantocidin based on the plausible biosynthetic pathway
-
The title synthesis was examined by employing two synthetic schemes which feature N,O-spiroketal formation as a key step. Although the stepwise synthesis starting with D-fructose and proceeding through the D-psicose derivatives successfully produced a mixture of (+)-hydantocidin (1) and its C5-epimer [(-)-5-epihydantocidin (2)], the one-step synthesis utilizing D-isoascorbic acid and urea as starting materials was found to give 2 more selectively than 1. Studies on the key N,O-spiroketal formation and epimerization between 1 and 2 were also carried out to explore some novel aspects of the obtained results.

- Synthetic studies on (+)-hydantocidin (3): A new synthetic method for construction of the spiro-hydantoin ring at the anomeric position of D-ribofuranose
-
A facile synthetic route for the large-scale preparation of a herbicidal natural product, (+)-hydantocidin is described. The protected D-psicose 6, prepared in five steps from D-fructose, was stereospecifically converted to azido-amide 14 by N-glycosidation (TMSN3/TMSOTf), oxidation and animation. Hydantoin ring-construction on 14 was achieved by aza-Wittig reaction (PBu3/CO2/CH3CN) to give 16 without epimerization at the anomeric center. After acetylation, stepwise deprotection of 24 afforded (+)-hydantocidin 1 in 16% overall yield from D-fructose.
