Functional mimetics of the sialyl Lewis(X) tetrasaccharide were prepared by the enzymatic sialylation of a 1,3-diglycosylated indole and a glycosyl azide, which was subsequently transformed into a 1,4-diglycosylated 1,2,3-triazole, by using the trans-sialidase of Trypanosoma cruzi. These compounds inhibited the binding of E-, L-, and P-selectin-coated nanoparticles to polyacrylamide-bound sialyl-Lewis(X) -containing neighboring sulfated tyrosine residues (sTyr/sLe(X) -PAA) at low or sub-millimolar concentrations. Except for E-selectin, the mimetics showed higher activities than the natural tetrasaccharide.

Strengthening an Intramolecular Non-Classical Hydrogen Bond to Get in Shape for Binding.

In this research article, we report on the strengthening of a non-classical hydrogen bond (C-H⋅⋅⋅O) by introducing electron withdrawing groups at the carbon atom. The approach is demonstrated on the example of derivatives of the physiological E-selectin ligand sialyl Lewis (1, sLe). Its affinity is mainly due to a beneficial entropy term, which is predominantly caused by the pre-organization of sLe in its binding conformation.

Sialyl-Lewis (SLe) is a tetrasugar, which plays an important role in initial inflammation and cancer cell metastasis, and can be used as a marker for cancer diagnosis and prognosis or a therapeutic target. Detecting SLe from complex biological media remains a significant challenge. Herein, a single-stranded DNA aptamer of SLe was screened based on the double-stranded DNA library-modified magnetic bead (MB)-SELEX technology.

Selectins are cell adhesion proteins discovered in the 1980s. As C-type lectins, selectins contain an essential calcium ion in the ligand-binding pocket and recognize the isomeric tetrasaccharides sialyl Lewis (sLe) and sialyl Lewis (sLe). Three selectins, E-selectin, P-selectin, and L-selectin, play distinct, complementary roles in inflammation, hematopoiesis, and tumor biology.

The high affinity interaction between P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1) and P-selectin is mediated by a multimotif glycosulfopeptide (GSP) recognition domain consisting of clustered tyrosine sulfates and a Core 2 -glycan terminated with sialyl Lewis (C2--sLe). These distinct GSP motifs are much more common than previously appreciated within a wide variety of functionally important domains involved in protein-protein interactions. However, despite the potential of GSPs to serve as tools for fundamental studies and prospects for drug discovery, their utility has been limited by the absence of chemical schemes for synthesis on scale.

The selectin family consisting of E-, P- and L-selectin plays dominant roles in atherosclerosis, ischemia-reperfusion injury, inflammatory diseases, and metastatic spreading of some cancers. An early goal in selectin-targeted drug discovery campaigns was to identify ligands binding to all three selectins, so-called pan-selectin antagonists. The physiological epitope, tetrasaccharide sialyl Lewis (sLe, 1) binds to all selectins, albeit with very different affinities.
