Simple protocols for attaching and detaching carbobenzyloxy (Cbz) groups at the reducing end of sugars was developed. Briefly, lactose was converted into its glycosylamine, which was then acylated with carbobenzyloxy chloride in high overall yield. The obtained lactose Cbz derivative was used in sequential glycosylations using glycosyltransferases and nucleotide sugars in aqueous buffers. Isolation of the reaction products after each step was by simple C-18 solid-phase extraction. The Cbz group was removed by catalytic hydrogenolysis or catalytic transfer hydrogenation followed by in situ glycosylamine hydrolysis. In this way, a trisaccharide (GlcNAc-lactose), a human milk tetrasaccharide (LNnT), and a human milk pentasaccharide (LNFPIII) were prepared in a simple and efficient way.

Glycosphingolipids are a diverse family of biologically important glycolipids. In addition to variations on the lipid component, more than 300 glycosphingolipid glycans have been characterized. These glycans are directly involved in various molecular recognition events. Several naturally occurring sialic acid forms have been found in sialic acid-containing glycosphingolipids, namely gangliosides. However, ganglioside glycans containing less common sialic acid forms are currently not available. Herein, highly effective one-pot multienzyme (OPME) systems are used in sequential for high-yield and cost-effective production of glycosphingolipid glycans, including those containing different sialic acid forms such as N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac), N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc), 2-keto-3-deoxy-d-glycero-d-galacto-nononic acid (Kdn), and 8-O-methyl-N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac8OMe). A library of 64 structurally distinct glycosphingolipid glycans belonging to ganglio-series, lacto-/neolacto-series, and globo-/isoglobo-series glycosphingolipid glycans is constructed. These glycans are essential standards and invaluable probes for bioassays and biomedical studies.
