Application

D-Apiose, a plant-specific branched-chain monosaccharide found in rhamnogalacturonan II (RG-II), apiogalacturonan, and several apioglycosides, serves as a borate binding site for crosslinking of galacturonans within plant cell walls.

D-apiose serves as the binding site for borate cross-linking of rhamnogalacturonan II (RG-II) in the plant cell wall, and biosynthesis of D-apiose involves UDP-D-apiose/UDP-D-xylose synthase catalyzing the conversion of UDP-D-glucuronate to a mixture of UDP-D-apiose and UDP-D-xylose. In this study

Callus lines of common duckweed produced acid arabinogalactan and pectin in an amount varying from 1 to 3% of dry weight. The arabinogalactan specimens from the cell lines studied displayed a similar monosaccharide composition. The duckweed callus lines whose arabinogalactans

Novel vinyl branched apiosyl nucleosides were synthesized in this study. Apiosyl sugar moiety was constructed by sequential ozonolysis and reductions. The bases (uracil and thymine) were efficiently coupled by glycosyl condensation procedure (persilyated base and TMSOTf). The antiviral activities of

Beta-rhamnosylation of methyl 2-C-hydroxymethyl-2,3-O-isopropylidene-beta-D-erythrofuranoside and methyl 2,3-O-isopropylidene-beta-D-ribofuranoside was achieved using 4-O-acetyl-2,3-O-carbonyl-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl bromide and Ag2O as a promoter. Deprotected disaccharides beta-L-Rhap-(1-->3')-beta-D-Apif-OMe and beta-L-Rhap-(1-->3')-beta-D-Ribf-OMe were compared to their alpha-rhamnosyl isomers which were prepared using conventional Helferich glycosylation.
