Clicked and long spaced galactosyl- and lactosylcalix[4]arenes: new multivalent galectin-3 ligands
Beilstein J. Org. Chem. 2014, 10, 1672–1680, doi:10.3762/bjoc.10.175
- other one in the 1,3-alternate structure. Preliminary studies of the interactions of these novel glycocalixarenes with galectin-3 were carried out by using a lectin-functionalized chip and surface plasmon resonance. These studies indicate a higher affinity of lactosyl- over galactosylcalixarenes
- . Furthermore, we confirmed that in case of this specific lectin binding the presentation of lactose units on a cone calixarene is highly preferred with respect to its isomeric form in the 1,3-alternate structure.

- activity [6]. Furthermore, Gal-3 can act as a competitive inhibitor against Gal-1 which, on the other side, induces anoikis of tumor cells [7][8]. Glycocalixarenes [9][10][11][12], calixarenes [13][14][15] adorned with carbohydrates at the upper and/or at the lower rims, have been demonstrated to be
Low-generation dendrimers with a calixarene core and based on a chiral C2-symmetric pyrrolidine as iminosugar mimics
Beilstein J. Org. Chem. 2012, 8, 951–957, doi:10.3762/bjoc.8.107
- [14]. Multivalent calixarenes functionalised with carbohydrate units (glycocalixarenes) [15] have been extensively reported in the literature and represent examples of sugar clustering on macrocyclic structures [16][17]. Thanks to the “glycoside cluster effect” [18][19][20], glycocalixarenes can
- enhance the avidity of interactions between glycans and lectins [15]. Some glycocalixarenes have shown remarkable inhibition properties towards galectins [21][22] or Pseudomonas Aeruginosa lectin [23], the inhibition ability being dependent on the macrocyclic conformation and presentation of the glycoside
