A simple and facile method for the syntheses of cluster-type homopolymers from -(acrylamido)alkyl glycosides of N-acetyllactosamine [β-D-Galp-(1→4)-β-D-GlcpNAc] is described. An efficient procedure for the preparation of poly[ω-(acrylamido)alkyl O-(β-D-galactopyranosyl)-(1→4)-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranoside] was established on the basis of radical polymerization of the novel glycosides in the presence of ammonium persulfate and N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine. These synthetic cluster glycopolymers exhibited good solubility in water and had sugar densities much higher than the glycopolymers derived from known n-pentenyl glycosides. The association constants of Erythrina corallodendron lectin (ECorL) with these cluster glycopolymers were evaluated by measuring the changes in fluorescence intensity of fluorescent-labeled ECorL induced by the addition of the polymeric ligands. Addition of the cluster-type glycopolymers having different degrees of N-acetyllactosamine density to ECorL induced a significant decrease of the fluorescence intensity at 520 nm, and this phenomenon was used for the determination of binding constants between the glycopolymers and ECorL.
