Periodate-oxidized, derivative

Preparation of the O-Chain Polysaccharide and Its O-Deacetylated and Periodate-Oxidized Derivatives... 

D-Glucose Oxidases.—Oxidation of the D-glucose oxidase from Aspergillus niger with periodate decreased its carbohydrate content, but the catalytic activity, immunological reactivity, and gross secondary and quaternary structures were not aff ected. The periodate-oxidized derivative was stable to heat treatment, although its stability was reduced in the presence of denaturants. 

Oxidation of C9-Amine (3) with Lead Tetraacetate. C9-Amine hydrochloride (53 mg., 0.17 mmole) was dissolved in 0.1 ml. of water and 5 ml. of acetic acid and to the solution was added lead tetraacetate (190 mg., 0.3 mmole) at 16°-18°C. in 10 minutes. Insoluble material was removed by filtration, and the filtrate was dried by lyophilization. The residue was dissolved in 5 ml. of water and the solution was placed on a column of Amberlite CG-50 (ammonium form, 1 x 10 cm.) followed by a similar treatment as described in the case of periodate oxidation. N-Cyano derivative (5.1 mg.) was obtained and proved to be identical with the N-cyano derivative obtained from the periodate oxidation. 

Other methods of identification include the customary preparation of derivatives, comparisons with authentic substances whenever possible, and periodate oxidation. Lately, the application of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy has provided an elegant approach to the elucidation of structures and stereochemistry of various deoxy sugars (18). Microcell techniques can provide a spectrum on 5-6 mg. of sample. The practicing chemist is frequently confronted with the problem of having on hand a few milligrams of a product whose structure is unknown. It is especially in such instances that a full appreciation of the functions of mass spectrometry can be developed. 

Starting from the appropriately substituted carbohydrates (e.g., II), 1,5-dialdehydcs are obtained by periodate oxidation. Subsequent double Henry reaction33 with nitromethane furnishes a variety of nitro-substituted carbohydrate derivatives. In most cases pure stereoisomers are obtained by crystallization of the reaction mixture3. 

These oxidants have been used rarely. The kinetics of periodate oxidation of sulphoxides have been studied119,124. In an acid medium the reaction proceeds without catalysis but in alkali a catalyst such as an osmium(VIII) or ruthenium(III) salt is required124. Iodosylbenzene derivatives have also been used for the oxidation of sulphoxides to the sulphone level94,125 (equation 39). In order to use this reaction for the synthesis of sulphones, a ruthenium(III) complex should be used as a catalyst thus quantitative yields are obtained at room temperature in a few minutes. However, column chromatography is required to separate the sulphone from the other products of the reaction. 

Bis-hydrazide-containing molecules also can be used to activate soluble polymeric sub-stances-containing aldehyde groups. For instance, dextran may be periodate oxidized to create numerous formyl functionalities on each molecule. Subsequent reaction with a homobifunctional hydrazide in large excess results in a hydrazide-activated polymer having multivalent-binding capability toward aldehydes or ketones (Chapter 25, Section 2.2). Insoluble support matrices suitable for affinity chromatography have been activated in a similar fashion to create the hydrazide derivative (O Shannessy and Wilchek, 1990). 

The hydrazide derivative of AMCA can be used to modify aldehyde- or ketone-containing molecules, including cytosine residues using the bisulfite activation procedure described in Chapter 27, Section 2.1. AMCA-hydrazide reacts with these target groups to form hydrazone bonds (Figure 9.26). Carbohydrates and glycoconjugates can be labeled specifically at their polysaccharide portion if the required aldehydes are first formed by periodate oxidation or another such method (Chapter 1, Section 4.4). 

Conjugation of Periodate-Oxidized Antibodies with Amine orHydrazide Derivatives... 

Figure 23.9 Reaction of adipic acid dihydrazide with (strept)avidin produces a hydrazide derivative that is highly reactive toward periodate-oxidized polysaccharides.

Hydrazide derivatives also may be prepared from a periodate-oxidized dextran polymer or from a carboxyl-containing dextran derivative by reaction with te-hydrazidc compounds (Chapter 4, Section 8). A hydrazide terminal spacer provides reactivity toward aldehyde- or ketone-containing molecules. Thus, the hydrazide-dextran polymer can be used to conjugate specifically glycoproteins or other polysaccharide-containing molecules after they have been oxidized with periodate to form aldehydes (Chapter 1, Section 4.4). 

Hydrazide groups can react with carbonyl groups to form stable hydrazone linkages. Derivatives of proteins formed from the reaction of their carboxylate side chains with adipic acid dihydrazide (Chapter 4, Section 8.1) and the water-soluble carbodiimide EDC (Chapter 3, Section 1.1) create activated proteins that can covalently bind to formyl residues. Hydrazide-modified enzymes prepared in this manner can bind specifically to aldehyde groups formed by mild periodate oxidation of carbohydrates (Chapter 1, Section 4.4). These reagents can be used in assay systems to detect or measure glycoproteins in cells, tissue sections, or blots (Gershoni et al., 1985). 

Since aldehydes are notoriously polymerizable and difficult to manipulate, the products of periodate oxidation are oftentimes further oxidized, with hypohalite, to carboxylic acids, or are reduced to the corresponding alcohols. Oxidation has been more usually employed than reduction, since acids frequently form crystalline salts and other conveniently prepared derivatives. A process of oxidation of these aldehydic products by hypo-bromite, in the presence of barium carbonate or strontium carbonate, was developed and used extensively by Hudson and his coworkers.107 110 194-199,90s Their method can best be illustrated by an example the further oxidation of the dialdehyde, VI, shown previously (see p. 16) to be obtained by the oxidation of the methyl a-D-aldohexopyranosides. The isolation of... 

The reaction of these aldehydes, derived from periodate oxidation, with carbonyl reagents has also been investigated. Studies 147 148 were made on oxidized laminarin, a (1 —> 3)-linked polysaccharide, in which only the terminal residues had been oxidized. The addition of phenylhydrazine acetate detached the remainder of the terminal residue as glyoxal phenyl-osazone. When the aldehydic compounds derived from the periodate oxidation of raffinose and trehalose818a were reacted with p-nitrophenylhydrazine, the authors were surprised to find that one molecule of oxidized raffinose, containing six aldehydic functions, reacts with only three molecules of the reagent, and that the four aldehydic functions of the oxidized trehalose molecule react with only two. The reactions of periodate-oxidized carbo-... 

In addition to the foregoing examples, periodate oxidation has been applied to isotopically labeled sugars (for the determination of label distribution), 226 -226 to certain branched-chain sugars,227-229 and to some nitrogenous derivatives of the simple sugars.230-236...
