• abstained from the conversion of compounds 24, 25 or 26 into their sulfated form due to the presence of the impurities in these samples. However, only the sulfated forms of this type of multivalent carbohydrate mimetics had earlier shown respectable biological activity as ligands of P- and L-selectins [44

• tumors. Sialyl Lewis-X is considered to be an important regulator of cancer metastasis as it binds the selectins on various vascular and blood cell types. Regulation of GalNAc-type O-linked glycans by SMAD2: SMAD2 was found to significantly affect core 1 and 2 O-linked glycan structures (enrichment p

• ; multivalency; selectins; sulfation; Introduction In a series of publications [1][2][3][4][5][6] our group reported on the syntheses of carbohydrate mimetics [7][8][9][10][11] that are based on aminopyrans, aminooxepanes or other aminopolyols. These compounds and their conjugates were prepared to be examined

• ]. Furthermore, the overexpression of the charged blood group antigen sialyl Lewisx consisting of the terminal NeuNAcα2-3Galβ1-4(Fucα1-3)GlcNAc-group is correlated with carcinogenesis. It is recognized and bound by selectins, which are a subgroup of lectins that play an important role as cell-surface molecules

• (particle diameter 6 nm). After sulfation of the hydroxyl groups the multivalent conjugates obtained displayed strong binding to P- and L-selectins, thus demonstrating that compounds such as 24 and 28 are of interest for the development of new anti-inflammatory agents [27][28]. Inspired by these first
