A. Capretta et al., SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF CYCLOMALTOHEPTAOSE-BASED METAL CHELANTS AS PROBES FOR INTESTINAL PERMEABILITY, Carbohydrate research, 267(1), 1995, pp. 49-63
The syntheses of two cyclomaltoheptaose-based metal chelants, cyclomal
toheptaose-ethylenediaminetetraacetate (CD-EDTA) and cyclomaltoheptaos
e-diamide-disulfur (CD-DADS), are described. The chelant moieties are
attached to the 6-position of a single pyranose in the cyclomaltohepta
ose via a short diamine spacer chain. Characterization of these novel
chelants has been achieved using NMR and MS techniques. The peculiar f
luxional properties of the CD-EDTA molecules is also discussed.
