H. Streicher et al., Synthesis and binding to plant lectins of sulfur-containing analogues of beta Gal1,3 alpha GalNAc (T-antigen), BIOORG MED, 10(12), 2000, pp. 1369-1371
Analogues of the tumor-associated T-antigen (beta Gal1,3 alpha GalNAc) cont
aining 4,6-epidithio and 4,6-thietan modifications were synthesized from th
e alpha-allyl glycoside of beta Gal alpha 1,3GlcNAc via suitable thiocyanat
e derivatives. Binding to three leguminous lectins as model systems was inv
estigated in an enzyme-linked lectin assay (ELLA) and IC50 values comparabl
e to the corresponding natural disaccharides T-antigen, lactose and N-acety
llactosamine were found. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved
