Disclosed herein are methods and materials by which nanostructures such as carbon nanotubes, nanorods, etc. are bound to lectins and/or polysaccharides and prepared for administration to cells. Also disclosed are complexes comprising glycosylated nanostructures, which bind selectively to cells expressing glycosylated surface molecules recognized by the lectin. Exemplified is a complex comprising a carbon nanotube functionalized with a lipid-like alkane, linked to a polymer bearing repeated α-N-acetylgalactosamine sugar groups. This complex is shown to selectively adhere to the surface of living cells, without toxicity. In the exemplified embodiment, adherence is mediated by a multivalent lectin, which binds both to the cells and the α-N-acetylgalactosamine groups on the nanostructure.

The present invention relates to a method for producing a glycosylated synthon or a monomer. Said method includes at least one step of placing at least one glycan-saccharase in the presence of at least one hydroxylated synthon and at least one saccharose. The invention also relates to a method for producing a glyco(co)polymer, including polymerizing at least two monomers separately obtained from the enzymatic glycosylation method according to the invention, and to a method for producing a glyco(co)polymer, preferably a block glyco(co)polymer, including coupling at least two monomers separately obtained from the enzymatic glycosylation method according to the invention.
Gold(III) activation of unprotected propargyl glycosyl donors has been shown to be effective for the synthesis of saccharides. Terminal propargyl glycosides of glucose, galactose, and mannose required heating at reflux in acetonitrile with 5% AuCl(3) for reaction with various primary alcohol acceptors, the latter used in 10-fold molar excess relative to donor. Donors containing the 2-butynyl group were more reactive, giving good yields of glycoside products at lower temperatures Secondary alcohols could also be used but with diminished efficiency. The propargylic family of donors is especially convenient because they can be easily prepared on large scale by Fischer glycosylation and stored indefinitely before chemoselective activation by the catalyst.
