Syntheses and Vero toxin-binding activities of carbosilane dendrimers periphery-functionalized with galabiose
摘要:
Carbosilane dendrimers bearing galabiose (Gal alpha 1-4Gal) with three, four, and six galabiose units at the periphery of the dendrimers were synthesized for use as artificial inhibitors against Shiga toxins (Stxs) produced by Escherichia coli O157:H7. The galabiose unit, prepared from penta-O-acetyl-beta-D-galactopyranose, was linked with carbosilane dendrimers of three shapes to afford acety I-protected glycodendrimers in good yields. De-O-acetylation of the clusters was carried out in the presence of NaOMe and then aq NaOH to give the desired three shapes of galabiose-coated carbosilane dendrimers. Their biological activities toward Stxs were evaluated by kinetic analysis, binding assays, and cytotoxic assays. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
