Cy. Tsai et al., Design and synthesis of cyclic sialyl Lewis X mimetics: a remarkable enhancement of inhibition by pre-organizing all essential functional groups, TETRAHEDR L, 41(49), 2000, pp. 9499-9503
Two rigid macrocyclic glycopeptides 1 and 2 were designed to mimic the tetr
asaccharide SLe(X) as inhibitors of P-selectin. While compound 1 was found
to be 1000-fold more potent than SLe(X) with IC50=1 muM, compound 2 was not
soluble in water for evaluation of its activity. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science
