Synthetic ligands containing up to 6 residues of nonreducing terminal galactose were prepared. The synthesis involved coupling of carboxyl groups of N-benzyloxycarbonylaspartic acid or of N-benzyloxycarbonyltyrosyl-.gamma.-glutamylglutamic acid to the .omega.-amino group of the aglycon of a glycoside that contained up to 3 lactosyl residues. The benzyloxycarbonyl group was removed by hydrogenolysis before these ligands were tested as inhibitors to the binding of 125I-asialoorosomucoid to the galactose/N-acetylgalactosamine lectin, both soluble and on the surface of freshly isolated mammalian hepatocytes. Each addition of a galactosyl residue to an existing. Each addition of a galactosyl residue to an existing ligand structure invariably increased the binding affinity of such a ligand. However, at each level of galactose valency, the binding constant varied as much as 1000-fold depending on the structure of the ligand. At a given level of valency, the binding strength of a cluster ligand depended mainly on 2 factors: the maximum spatial inter-galactose distances and the flexibility of the arm connecting galactosyl residues and the branch points. In has been postulated that the 3 galactose-combining sites of the lectin are arranged in space at the vertexes of a triangle whose sides are 15, 22 and 25 .ANG.. Ligands having inter-galactose distances shorter than these lengths were invariably poor ligands at their respective level of valency. Among the ligands having sufficiently long inter-galactose distances, those with the most flexible structure were the best inhibitors. The 50% inhibition of 125I-asialoorosomucoid binding was achieved by 3 .times. 10-7 and 5 .times. 10-8 M, respectively, of the best synthetic bi- and trivalent ligands, and inhibitory power of these ligands was comparable to that of the most inhibitory bi- and triantennary oligosaccharide structures of natural origin.
