Carbohydrate-coated nanodiamond particles with lectin recognition capabilities are not only stable towards the hydrolytic action of glycosidases, but also are endowed with the ability to inhibit them.
Two sets of new conjugates obtained from d-mannose derivatives and o-, m-, and p-substituted benzoic acid esters interconnected through a triazole ring were synthesized by Cu(I) catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition. All synthesized compounds were tested for their in vitro cytotoxic activity against seven cancer cell lines with/without multidrug resistance phenotype as well as non-tumor MRC-5 and BJ
