Synthetic glycoconjugates for capturing pathogens: Mono‐ and biantennary biotinylated glycoconjugates have been synthesized, and their ability to capture different E. coli strains (see graph) indicates that these molecules could be used to differentiate between different E. coli pathovars.

A galabiose disaccharide building block was synthesized by an efficient pectinase cleavage of polygalacturonic acid and subsequent chemical functional group transformations. Besides the disaccharide, the corresponding trisaccharide was also obtained and modified. The compounds were subsequently conjugated to dendrimers with up to eight end groups using 'click' chemistry. The compounds were evaluated
Polyanionic glycopolymers were synthesized aiming at establishing a simple process for assembling glycosyl arrays. The synthetic glycopolymers carry the key carbohydrate epitopes of alpha-D-galactobioside (Gb(2)), beta-lactoside, and U-D-mannopyranoside, each of which serves as a ligand of bacterial toxins and adhesion proteins. The Gb(2) epitope, prepared from penta-O-acetyl-D-galactopyranose, was coupled with poly(ethylene-alt-maleic anhydride) in a polymer reaction to afford a Gb(2)-embedded glycopolymer having also carboxylate (COO-) polyanions at the side chain. The polyanionic glycopolymer was then applied to a preparation of sugar-coated gold electrodes, which involves an alternating layer-by-layer adsorption based on electrostatic interactions. The presence of the Gb(2)-Coat on the surface was evidenced by Fourier transform infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy. The Gb(2)-coated glyco-chip was stable in 10 mM HEPES buffer containing 150 mM NaCl aq. Other glycopolymers carrying the beta-lactoside and alpha-D-mannopyranoside epitopes were applied to the same assembling process. The derived glycosyl arrays will be useful for detecting Shiga toxins, other pathogenic toxins and viruses when applied as glyco-chips for surface plasmon resonance or quartz crystal microbalance technique.
