Selective Galectin‐8N Ligands: The Design and Synthesis of Phthalazinone‐
d
‐Galactals
摘要:
AbstractLigand selectivity among the highly conserved galectins has been an ever‐challenging objective. For galectin‐8, a protein prevalent in both pathology and tissue distribution, we report phthalazinone‐galactals that show excellent selectivity for the galectin‐8N‐terminal domain. A dissection of structure–activity relationships of the phthalazinone and an extensive molecular dynamics meta‐analysis accompany the discovery of the selective galectin‐8N ligands presented here. These selective compounds will facilitate the study of galectin‐8 biology and may have pharmaceutical relevance in the wide range of galectin‐8 associated pathologies.
