Biomimetic Tweezers for N‐Glycans: Selective Recognition of the Core GlcNAc2 Disaccharide of the Sialylglycopeptide SGP

Abstract: In recent years, glycomics have shown how pervasive the role of carbohydrates in biological systems is and how chemical tools are essential to investigate glycan function and modulate carbohydrate-mediated processes. Biomimetic receptors for carbohydrates can carry out this task but, although significant affinities and selectivities toward simple saccharides have been achieved, targeting complex glycoconjugates remains a goal yet unattained. In this work we report the unprecedented recognition of a complex bia… Show more

“…More recently the same tweezer‐shaped architecture proved to be also effective in targeting of the GlcNAc 2 disaccharide within the core structure of a complex N‐glycan [109] . Indeed, the tetraphosphonate analogue 31 (Figure 9), prepared to circumvent the self‐association phenomenon of the progenitor 30 , demonstrated the capability to intercept and strongly recognize the GlcNAc 2 disaccharide at the stem of sialoglycopeptide SGP with the same affinity observed for the disaccharide ( BC500 ${{BC}_{50}^{0}}$ =1.7×10 −4 M).…”

“…Despite the interesting results obtained with monosaccharides, 1 shows only moderate binding abilities toward disaccharides, mainly because of the size of the macrocyclic cavity. [26] Conversely, a homologous member of the family (2, Figure 1), [27,28] which shows a tweezerslike shape and a single diaminocarbazole hydrogen-bonding unit in an open-chain architecture, does not bind to monosaccharides, but exhibits peculiar recognition properties toward disaccharides, in particular toward the N,N'-diacetylchitobiose (βGlcNAc 2 ), even when this is present in the core structure of Nglycans.…”

“…Carbohydrate is a critical component in various biological processes, [1,2] such as energy storage, intercellular communication, and immune response. Synthetic receptors [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] that bind carbohydrates have the potential to facilitate the investigation of their biological functions and the creation of new therapeutic and diagnostic agents, such as anti-infective agents, synthetic antibodies, and carbohydrate sensors. The development of synthetic receptors [12][13][14] for glucose, in particular, holds significant implications for managing blood glucose levels in diabetes.…”
