Abstract
Six potential carriers incorporating one or more thio-D-galactosyl res idue(s) linked to beta-cylodextrin as complexing tool, were synthesize d and evaluated in vitro for their specific recognition towards a cell wall galactose specific lectin (KbCWL). The inhibition of yeast flocc ulation by the compounds 5 -10 was compared to reference compounds as, p-nitrophenyl-galactose or disaccharides containing an alpha or beta- galactose non reducing terminal unit. Among the tested molecules, the heptakis galactosyl-CD derivatives were found the most efficient compo unds.
