Sialyl Lewis X (SLe(x)) is well known as a ligand of the cell adhesion molecule E-selectin which is specifically expressed at inflammatory lesion sites. We have synthesized several SLe(x)-polysaccharide conjugates and examined their potential for drug delivery to inflammatory lesions. The AUC (area under the blood concentration-time curve) 0 - 24 h of SLe(x)-CMCht (1), SLe(x)-CMPul (2) and SLe(x)-DSH (3) at the inflammatory lesion was about 60-, 300-, and 30-fold higher than that of the monovalent SLe(x) (7), respectively. Moreover, 1 showed 2-fold higher accumulation in the inflammatory lesion than SLN-CMCht (4), and 2 showed 2.5-fold higher accumulation than SLN-CMPul (5).

A novel system for active targeting of inflammattory lesions has been established. A SLe(x)-CMPul conjugate (2) showed accumulation that was 2.5- fold higher in inflammatory lesions in vivo than a SLN-CMPul conjugate (4) and 300-fold higher than monovalent SLe(x) (6).
