Linkable Lewis X Analogs
Abstract
Disclosed herein is a class of linkable tetrasaccharide compounds that includes the amino phenyl glycoside of sialyl Lewis X (SLe X ) and related analogs. These compounds have conjugatable nucleophilic groups, making them useful in preparing multimeric SLe X compositions. In particular, the disclosed SLe X compounds can be used to prepare selectin binding ligand conjugates by linking them to a reporter moiety, such as a contrast agent, a radiodiagnostic agent, or a cytotoxic or chemotherapeutic agent. The SLe X compounds and conjugates of the invention exhibit binding to selectin that is similar to native Sialyl Le X , and are, therefore, useful for diagnosing and treating selectin-mediated disorders and related conditions.
