Abstract
5-Thiofucose-containing LeX trisaccharide analogs Gal beta(1,4)[5SFuc alpha(1,3)]GlcNAc-OMe (2) and Gal beta(1,4)[5SFuc beta(1,3)]GlcNAc-OMe (4) were synthesized via 5-thiofucosylation of methyl 2-azido-lactoside derivative 6 by the trichloroacetimidate method. Inhibitory activity of these analogs for the binding of LeX to anti-Lex antibody was evaluated by enzyme immunoassay, indicating that anti-LeX strictly recognizes alpha-configuration of the fucose moiety and its binding pocket includes no advantageous region, such as hydrophobic area, for recognizing the ring sulfur atom of 5-thiofucosyl LeX analog 2.Entities:
