(-)-Quinic acid was used as a starting material for the preparation of sialyl Lewisx mimetics in order to target E-selectin. Spatial orientation of the hydroxyl groups of quinic acid could mimic the L-fucose ones. Introduction of a side chain ending with a carboxylic acid was effected to replace the sialic acid interaction at the carbohydrate recognition domain. A first series of derivatives, incorporating amino acids linked to quinic acid, were tested for their affinity and found to interact with E-selectin with IC50 within the millimolar range.
