Galectins are a family of galactoside-recognizing proteins involved in different galectin-subtype-specific inflammatory and tumor-promoting processes, which motivates the development of inhibitors that are more selective galectin inhibitors than natural ligand fragments. Here, we describe the synthesis and evaluation of 3--methyl-gulopyranoside derivatives and their evaluation as galectin inhibitors. Methyl 3-deoxy-3--(hydroxymethyl)-β-d-gulopyranoside showed 7-fold better affinity for galectin-1 than the natural monosaccharide fragment analog methyl β-d-galactopyranoside, as well as a high selectivity over galectin-2, 3, 4, 7, 8, and 9.

The synthesis of the novel 2',3'-cyclopropane nucleoside 3'-deoxy-3'-C-hydroxymethyl-2',3'-methylene-uridine is described. Stereoselective construction of the cyclopropane ring was achieved via Simmons-Smith cyclopropanation of a benzyl protected silyl enol ether, which was itself derived from 1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-D-xylofuranose.

A versatile solid phase combinatorial approach was developed and utilized for the rapid synthesis of new 2'-O-methylcytidine nucleoside libraries 1-7 containing 672 compounds with 3'-deoxy-3'-C-methyl, 3'-deoxy-3'-C-hydroxymethyl, and 5-alkyl/alkynyl modifications. The modified uridine scaffolds 8-10, 23-25, and 31 were loaded onto the 4-methoxytrityl chloride (MMT-Cl) polystyrene resin through the hydroxyl groups at the 5'-position as well as on the substituents at the 3'- and 5-positions. The scaffolds loaded on the resin were orthogonally protected by MMT group on the resin itself and TBDMS or acetyl protecting groups.

D- and L-3'-Deoxy-3'-C-hydroxymethyl thymidine substituted with exocyclic methylene at 2'-position were synthesized, starting from D- and L-xylose as potential ribonucleotide reductase inhibitor, respectively, but they were found to be inactive against several tumor cell lines.
