The total synthesis of aminoethyl glycoside of sialyl Lewisx (sLex) is described. A galactose donor was condensed with a diol of glucosamine to afford regioselectively a β1,4 linked disaccharide, which was further stereoselectively fucosylated to provide a protected Lewis x trisaccharide. After chemical modification, the trisaccharide was sialylated to give regio- and stereoselectively an azidoethyl glycoside of sLex. Finally, deprotection and azide reduction afforded the target compound. This compound will be coupled with protein and then be used to conduct further preclinical studies for the diagnosis of cancer.
Synthesis of biologically active sialyl Lewis X mimetics

The design and synthesis of two sialyl Lewis X (SLe(x)) mimetics are described. In the design of mimetic 1, an ethylene glycol linkage is used to bridge the fucose and galactose moiety, and a carboxymethyl group is placed in the 3-OH position of the galactose residue to provide the negative charge which is believed to be essential for binding to (E)-selectin. In the design of mimetic 2, a D-tartaric acid derivative is used to provide the trans-dihydroxyl groups originally from the glucosamine moiety for the linkage of the fucose and the carboxypentyl groups. At a concentration of 1.5 mM, 1 inhibits 50% of the binding of SLe(x) glycoconjugate to immobilized recombinant (E)-selectin, while 2 has an IC50 of 10 mM. Mimetic 1 is also found to be stable toward α-L-fucosidase. Results from the ROESY and COSY experiments indicate that compound 1 is conformationally flexible, which may explain its relatively weak activity compared to SLe(x) (IC50 = 0.8 mM).
