Practical synthesis of tetrasaccharide sulfates, 6(GlcNAc)-O-Su-SiaLeX-OCH2CH2CH2NH2 and 6(Gal)-O-Su-SiaLeX-OCH2CH2CH2NH2 (Su
SO3H), selectin ligands, and leu- kocyte trafficking agents is presented. Both sulfates were synthesized starting from the same precursor, protected SiaLex, by the conventional procedures of carbohydrate chemistry. The sulfated SiaLex derivative was modified at the spacer group to give 6(Gal)-O-Su-SiaLex- OCH2CH2CH2NH-COCH2CH2C
CH, convenient for "click chemistry" mode conjugation with an azido carrier, particularly, for the synthesis of an immunogen.
Key words: leukocyte trafficking agents / selectin ligands / sulfates of sialyl LewisX
