Synthesis and anti-leishmanial activity of TRIS-glycine-β-alanine dipeptidic triazole dendron coated with nonameric mannoside glycocluster
摘要:
Tripodal nonameric mannoside glycodendrimer 1 with carbohydrate tethered triazole linked with the TRIS-glycine-beta-alanine dipeptidic aromatic centered core was synthesized. Glycodendrimer 1 demonstrated potential in vitro anti-leishmanial activity. The bio-activity data was substantiated with molecular modelling and docking studies of 1 with the three-dimensional protein structure of Leishmanolysin.
Who can? Glycan! Heterogeneous glycan microarrays were prepared for the study of antibody binding specificity and affinity. It was found that heterogeneous glycans provide better binding affinity compared to their individual components (see picture), thereby suggesting a new strategy for carbohydrate‐based vaccine design.
