View Patent ↗For extending the uses of a compound represented by Chemical formula 1, the object of the present invention is to provide a derivative of cyclic tetrasaccharide whose physicochemical properties are changed from those of cyclic tetrasaccaride, a composition comprising the same, and a process for producing the same. The present invention solves the above object by providing a derivative of cyclic tetrasaccharide, which is produced by the steps of reacting a compound represented by Chemical formula 1 with a reactive reagent and substituting one ore more hydroxyl groups with substituents except hydroxyl group and O-glycosyl group; a composition comprising the same; and a process for producing the derivative of cyclic tetrasaccharide.
1. A derivative of cyclic tetrasaccharide, which has a structure represented by Formula 1:
wherein R 1 to R 12 means a hydroxyl group or a substituent excluding a hydroxyl group selected from the group consisting of aliphatic hydrocarbon groups having 1-18 carbon atoms, aliphatic cyclic hydrocarbon groups, mono- or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon groups, saturated, unsaturated, branched or linear fatty acid ester groups, carboxylic acid ester groups, sulfuric ester groups, phosphoric ester groups, alkoxyl groups having 1-18 carbon atoms, aromatic alcohol ether groups, carboxyl groups, ketone groups, amino groups, hydroxylamino groups, oxime groups, carbamide groups, carbamic acid ester groups, thiocarbamic acid O-ester groups, thiocarbamic acid S-ester groups, imino groups, azirine groups, nitro groups, nitroso groups, azide groups, nitrile groups, isonitrile groups, cyano groups, isocyano groups, isothiocyanate groups, mercapto groups, sulfonyl groups, sulfonic acid groups, sulfoxide groups, sulfonyl imido groups, p-toluene sulfonyl groups, and halogen groups; but at least one of R 1 to R 12 is substituted with said substituent excluding a hydroxyl group.
2. The derivative of cyclic tetrasaccharide of claim 1 , which has an average degree of substitution of one or more.
3. A process for producing a derivative of cyclic tetrasaccharide of claim 1 , which comprises a step of:
allowing a reactive reagent to act on a cyclic tetrasaccharide represented by Chemical formula 1 thereby substituting one or more substituents in R 1 to R 12 in Formula 1 with substituents selected from the group consisting of aliphatic hydrocarbon groups having 1-18 carbon atoms, aliphatic cyclic hydrocarbon groups, monmo- or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon groups, saturated, unsaturated, branched or linear fatty acid ester groups, carboxylic acid ester groups, sulfuric ester groups, phosphoric ester groups, alkoxyl groups having 1-18 carbon atoms, aromatic alcohol ether groups, carboxyl groups, ketone groups, amino groups, hydroxylamino groups, oxime groups, carbamide groups, carbamic acid ester groups, thiocarbamic acid O-ester groups, thiocarbamic acid S-ester groups, imino groups, azirine groups, nitro groups, nitroso groups, azide groups, nitrile groups, isonitrile groups, cyano groups, isocyano groups, isothiocyanate groups, mercapto groups, sulfonyl groups, sulfonic acid groups, sulfoxide groups, sulfonyl imido groups, p-toluene sulfonyl groups, and halogen groups:
4. The process of claim 3 , wherein said cyclic tetrasaccharide is in an anhydrous form.
5. The process of claim 3 or 4 , wherein said reactive reagent is one or more reagents selected from the group consisting of acids, bases, alcohols, ketones, halogens, amines, cyanogens, nitriles, oxyranes, isocyanates, isothiocyanates, thiols, sulfones, and their reactive derivatives.
6. The process of any one of claims 3 to 5 , wherein said cyclic tetrasaccharide represented by Chemical formula 1 is produced by allowing enzymes to act on starch:
7. A composition comprising the derivative of cyclic tetrasaccharide of claim 1 .
