A 'clicked' tetrameric hydroxamic acid glycopeptidomimetic antagonizes sugar-lectin interactions on the cellular level

Sci Rep. 2014 Jul 1:4:5513. doi: 10.1038/srep05513.

Abstract

A tetrameric N-acetyl galactosaminyl (GalNAc) peptidomimetic was constructed by N-acetylation of repeating proline-based hydroxamic acid units, followed by a convergent 'click chemistry' coupling. This novel glycopeptidomimetic was determined to effectively antagonize the interaction between a transmembrane hepatic lectin and GalNAc on the cellular level.
