Abstract: The disclosure discloses a preparation method of outer core octasaccharide of Helicobacter pylori lipopolysaccharide, and belongs to the field of carbohydrate chemistry. The structure of the outer core octasaccharide of Helicobacter pylori is (?-D-Glc-(1-3)-?-D-Glc-(1-4)-?-D-Gal-(1-7)-D-?-D-Hep[?-D-Glc-(1-6)-?-D-Glc-(1-6)-?-D-Glc-(1-2)-D-?-D-Hep]-Linker. The structure consists of three monosaccharides: glucose, galactose and heptose. It contains five ?-glycosidic bonds of glucose, one ?-glycosidic bond of galactose and two ?-glycosidic bonds of heptose. The disclosure prepares the octasaccharide by the synergistic action of remote neighboring group participation effect, solvent effect, temperature effect, additives and leaving groups. The reducing end of the octasaccharide may also be linked with a linker for future attachment to the protein to form a glycoconjugate for immunological studies.

Abstract: A synthetic charged glycolipid is described comprising a sulfated saccharide group covalently linked to the tree sn-1 hydroxyl group of the glycerol backbone of an archaeal core lipid via a beta linkage. The synthetic charged glycolipids include compounds of formula I wherein n is 0 or 1; R is hydrogen or hydroxyl; and Y is hydrogen or a sulfate group, at least one Y being a sulfate group; and including pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The sulfated glycolipid produces stable archaeosomes at a mol % ratio of from 100:0 to 30:70 (sulfated glycolipid:uncharged glycolipid) and which induce a protective immune response, including CD8+ and CD4+ T cell responses. Archaeosomes comprising the sulfated glycolipids described have desirable adjuvant properties, particularly when mixed with uncharged glycolipid at a mol % ratio of about 50:50.
