Galectins are widely expressed galactose-binding lectins implied, for example, in immune regulation, metastatic spreading, and pathogen recognition. N-Acetyllactosamine (Galβ1-4GlcNAc, LacNAc) and its oligomeric or glycosylated forms are natural ligands of galectins. To probe substrate specificity and binding mode of galectins, we synthesized a complete series of six mono-deoxyfluorinated analogues of LacNAc, in which each hydroxyl has been selectively replaced by fluorine while the anomeric position has been protected as methyl β-glycoside. Initial evaluation of their binding to human galectin-1 and -3 by ELISA and 19F NMR T2-filter revealed that deoxyfluorination at C3, C4′ and C6′ completely abolished binding to galectin-1 but very weak binding to galectin-3 was still detectable. Moreover, deoxyfluorination of C2′ caused an approximately 8-fold increase in the binding affinity towards galectin-1, whereas binding to galectin-3 was essentially not affected. Lipophilicity measurement revealed that deoxyfluorination at the Gal moiety affects log P very differently compared to deoxyfluorination at the GlcNAc moiety.

The synthesis is reported of methyl O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-(1->4)-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1->6)-O-4)>-O-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranoside (13), methyl O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-(1->4)-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1->6)-O-4)>-O-(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-(1->3)-O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-(1->4)-β-D-glucopyranoside (28), and O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-(1->4)-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1->6)-O-4)>-O-(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-(1->3)-O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-(1->4)-D-glucopyranose (38), representing fragments of the capsular polysaccharide of Streptococcus pneumoniae type 14 (3)-β-D-Galp-(1->4)-β-D-Glcp-(1->6)-4)>-β-D-GlcpNAc-(1->>n). 4-O-(2,3,4,6-Tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-galactopyranosyl)-2,3,6-tri-O-acetyl-α-D-glucopyranosyl trichloroacetamidate (6) was coupled regio- and stereoselectively with HO-6 of methyl 3-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-β-D-glucopyranoside (4) in dichloromethane, using boron trifluoroetherate as a promoter.Coupling of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-galactopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate (8) with HO-4 of the resulting trisaccharide derivative (9) in dichloromethane, using boron trifluoroetherate as a promoter, afforded methyl 4-O-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-galactopyranosyl)-6-O--3-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-β-D-glucopyranoside (10).Debenzylation of 10, followed by dephthaloylation, N,O-acetylation, and de-O-acetylation gave tetrasaccharide methyl glycoside 13.Disaccharide derivative 6 was also coupled with HO-6 of allyl 3-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-β-D-glucopyranoside (16) in dichloromethane using trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate as a promoter.Coupling of 8 with HO-4 of the resulting trisaccharide derivative (17) in dichloromethane, using trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate as a promoter, afforded allyl-4-O-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-galactopyranosyl)-6-O--3-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-β-D-glucopyranoside (18).Deallylation of 18, followed by imidation gave an activated tetrasaccharide (20), which was coupled to both methyl (24) and benzyl (33) 2,3,6-tri-O-benzyl-4-O-(2,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-β-D-galactopyranosyl)-β-D-glucopyranoside in dichloromethane, using trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate as a promoter, to give the corresponding hexasaccharide derivatives 25 and 34.Debenzylation of 25, followed by dephthaloylation, N,O-acetylation, and de-O-acetylation gave hexasaccharide methyl glycoside 28.Dephthaloylation of 34, followed by N,O-acetylation, debenzylation, re-O-acetylation and de-O-acetylation gave hexasaccharide 38.
