Popis: Analogs of sialyl LewisX have been synthesized chemically using donors of modified sialic acids. The sialic acids were obtained enzymatically by an aldolase reaction. The sLex tetrasaccharides modified at C-2 of the GlcNAc moiety and at C-5 of the sialic acid residue were tested as inhibitors for E- and P-selectins. Up to 12-fold higher inhibitory potency was found for the lyso-derivative of sLeX compared to the parent compound.
