Abstract

While many examples have been reported that glycoclusters interact with target lectins more strongly than single molecules of glycans, through multivalency effects, literature examples to support lectin interactions/modulations on cell surface and in live animals is quite rare. Our N-glycoclusters, which were efficiently prepared by immobilizing 16 molecules of the asparagine-linked glycans (N-glycans) onto a lysine-based dendron template through histidine-mediated Huisgen cycloaddition, were shown to efficiently detect platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule (PECAM) on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) as a α(2-6)-sialylated oligosaccharides recognizing lectin. Furthermore, the identity of the N-glycans on our N-glycoclusters allowed control over organ-selective accumulation and serum clearance properties when intravenously injected into mice.
