Abstrakt: E- and P-selectins are adhesion proteins implicated in immune cell recruitment at sites of infection, making them important drug targets for diseases involving excessive and uncontrolled inflammation. In this study, we developed an efficient strategy to synthesize bicyclic galactopyranosides through a key stereoselective equatorial C4-propiolate addition and TMSCN axial C-glycosidation. The nitrile group can then be converted to the carboxyl and different bioisosteres at a late stage in the synthesis, allowing for various derivatizations to potentially enhance biological activity. The sialyl LewisXglycomimetic featuring this rigidified bicyclic galactopyranoside moiety prevents neutrophil adhesion to endothelial cells in vitroby binding to both E- and P-selectins. We show here that the axial carboxyl analogue blocks immune cell recruitment in vivo, demonstrating its potential as an immunomodulator.
