Recently, we reported the promising activity of a novel class of sulfoquinovosyl-diacylglycerols named Sulfavants as molecular vaccine adjuvants. Herein, we describe a modified and improved chemical synthesis of the lead product Sulfavant A (1), with the aim to produce from milligrams to 10 g of the pure compound that is necessary for the preclinical development. Starting from the versatile synthesis based on the trichloroacetimidate methodology, up-scaled preparation of Sulfavant A (1) was achieved in 11 steps by elimination and modification of those reactions that negatively affected the overall yield by the previous procedure. The novel strategy gave 17% overall yield of the target compound 1 and also paved the way for the gram-scale preparation of a wide range of other charged and neutral glycoglycerolipids.

Abstract

Recently, we reported the promising activity of a novel class of sulfoquinovosyl-diacylglycerols named Sulfavants as molecular vaccine adjuvants. Herein, we describe a modified and improved chemical synthesis of the lead product Sulfavant A (1), with the aim to produce from milligrams to 10 g of the pure compound that is necessary for the preclinical development. Starting from the versatile synthesis based on the trichloroacetimidate methodology, up-scaled preparation of Sulfavant A (1) was achieved in 11 steps by elimination and modification of those reactions that negatively affected the overall yield by the previous procedure. The novel strategy gave 17% overall yield of the target compound 1 and also paved the way for the gram-scale preparation of a wide range of other charged and neutral glycoglycerolipids.
