Purpose. Common oligosaccharides of cellular glycoconjugates are ligands for more than one type of endogenous lectin. Overlapping specificities to beta-galactosides of C-type lectins and galectins can reduce target selectivity of carbohydrate-ligand-dependent drug targeting. The purpose of this study is to explore distinct features of ligand presentation and structure for design of cluster glycosides to distinguish between asialoglycoprotein-specific (C-type) lectins and galectins.Methods. Extent of binding of labeled sugar receptors to two types of matrix-immobilized (neo)glycoproteins and to cells was evaluated in the absence and presence of competitive inhibitors. This panel comprised synthetic mono-, bi-, and trivalent glycosides with two spacer lengths and galactose or lactose as ligand part.Results. In contrast to C-type lectins of hepatocytes and macrophages, bi- and trivalent glycosides do not yield a notable glycoside cluster effect for galectins-1 and -3. Also, these Ca2+-independent galactoside binding proteins prefer to home in on lactose-bearing glycosides relative to galactose as ligand, while spacer length requirements were rather similar.Conclusions. Trivalent cluster glycosides with Gal/GalNAc as ligand markedly distinguish between C-type lectins and galectins. Undesired side reactivities to galectins for C-type lectin drug delivery will thus be minimal.
