Recent chemical synthesis of plant polysaccharides

Curr Opin Chem Biol. 2023 Sep 14;77:102387. doi: 10.1016/j.cbpa.2023.102387. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHere, chemical syntheses of long, branched and complex glycans over 10-mer from plants are summarized, which highlights amylopectin 20-mer from starch, 17-mer from carthamus tinctorius, α-glucan 30-mer from Longan, 19-mer from psidium guajava and 11-mer from dendrobium huoshanense. The glycans assembly strategies, protecting groups utilization and glycosylation methods discussed here will inspire the efficient synthesis of diverse complex glycans with many 1,2-cis glycosidic linkages.PMID:37716049 | DOI:10.1016/j.cbpa.2023.102387
