During the recruitment of leukocytes into inflamed tissues in acute and chronical inflammatory processes, the carbohydrate-recognizing receptors P-and E-selectin exposed on the activated endothelium and L-selectin on the leukocytes play most important roles.[1] A similar situation holds true for the metastasis of tumor cells.[2] The intrusion of malign T cells into the skin could be more readily influenced through ligands of P-selectin than ligands of E-selectin. Therefore, in this case the inhibition of P-selectin provided the more promising antitumor strategy.[3] In contrast to the natural ligands of E-selectin,[4] it is known for the P-selectin glycoprotein ligand 1 (PSGL-1) that in addition to the essential tetrasaccharide sialyl Lewisx the N-terminal peptide sequence significantly contributes to the recognition epitope.[5] Within the PSGL-1 the binding site for binding to P-selectin has been identified by biochemical and molecular biological methods (Figure 1).It is located in the N-terminal portion, which, after cleavage of a signal peptide, begins with Gln42. At least one of the tyrosine residues Tyr46, Tyr48, and Tyr51 should be O-sulfated. The threonine in position 57 carries the O-glycan side chain, which consists of a combination of a sialyl Lewisx ligand and the core 2 structure of O-glycoproteins (mucins). Chemoenzymatic syntheses of partial sequences [6] and of the entire binding site of PSGL-1 [7] have been described. Wong et al.[6] synthesized the glycopeptide Tyr51–Glu58 which was O-glycosylated at Thr57 with the disaccharide GlcNAcb-(1–6)-aGalNAc. After chemical sulfation of the tyrosine, the sialyl Lewisx structure was assembled at the GlcNAc residue
