Sulfated saccharides mediate important physiological processes. For example, the proteins L-and P-selectin, which facilitate leukocyte trafficking to sites of inflammation, recognize sulfated carbohydrate residues. 1, 2 Several densely O-glycosylated proteins, including PSGL-1, CD34, and GlyCAM-1, have been identified as high affinity, sulfate-containing selectin ligands. 3 Molecules that share the features of these naturallyoccurring saccharide arrays could be used to modulate or promote physiological processes effected by the natural carbohydrate determinants. Generating structural analogs of these ligands is a significant challenge: not only are the saccharide epitopes replete with functional groups but they are exhibited in multivalent displays. 4 We report a strategy for the synthesis of ligands that present multiple copies of sulfated carbohydrate determinants and the application of this strategy to the creation of high affinity selective inhibitors of P-selectin. Impetus to generate materials displaying multiple sulfated saccharide residues arose from our investigations of the role of carbohydrate sulfation in selectin recognition. 5, 6 For monovalent saccharide derivatives, sulfation at a specific position can subtly alter the selectin-binding properties of a particular ligand. In studies with the lectin concanavalin A, small changes in the protein binding specificity of monovalent saccharide ligands were amplified when the interactions were multivalent. 7 If selectin-carbohydrate interactions benefit from multivalent binding, it was hypothesized that high-affinity, selective selectin ligands could be generated by displaying multiple copies of particular sulfated carbohydrate residues. 8 Multivalent saccharide derivatives have been synthesized by the ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP), and potent, specific ligands for concanavalin A have been generated. 7 The application of this method to the synthesis of selectin ligands would provide the means to address the role of multivalent binding in selectincarbohydrate interactions. The target selectin ligands, however, possess anionic sulfate substituents, and ROMP of monomers with sulfate groups is unknown. Therefore, we synthesized monomers bearing sulfated saccharide residues to develop an effective protocol for ROMP of these substrates. Our target monomers were based on two naturally-occurring sulfate-containing ligands that bind P-and L-selectin, glycolipid sulfatides, 9, 10 and the glycoprotein GlyCAM-1. 11 Both sulfatides and GlyCAM-1 can function as multidentate ligands. For example, sulfatides can aggregate to form micelles, which are the likely selectin-binding species. GlyCAM-1 is a mucin that displays multiple copies of sulfated carbohydrate determinants, including 6′-sulfo sialyl Lewis x [6′-sulfo sLex: NeuNAcR2 f 3 (6-O-SO3) Galβ1 f 4 (FucR1 f 3) GlcNAc]. 12 In designing selectin ligands, we sought to imitate the sulfatides by presenting multiple copies of 3-sulfated galactose, their saccharide substituent. To mimic the charge distribution of the determinant 6′-sulfo sLex, GlyCAM-1, our plan was to generate multivalent oligomers bearing 3, 6-disulfo galactose residues. The sulfated saccharides were attached through an anomeric linker to either a norbornene or 7-oxanorbornene scaffold (Scheme 1). ROMP of such derivatives will afford linear polymers that display saccharide residues with a density of 1 epitope per repeat unit. Although the linear display of saccharides within the polymers mimics some features of sulfatide micelles, these substrates differ in that saccharide determinants of the neoglycopolymers are unable to reorganize dramatically. This mode of presentation and the high …
