title: 6-O-sulfo de-N-acetylsialyl Lewis X as a novel high-affinity ligand for human L-selectin: total synthesis and structural characterization.
abstract: Total synthesis and structural characterization of a novel 6-O-sulfo de-N-acetylsialyl Lewis X, which was originally discovered as a minor by-product of the parent 6-O-sulfo N-acetylsialyl Lewis X, a high-affinity endogenous ligand for human L-selectin, are described. The total synthesis has been achieved by a highly efficient, regio- and alpha-stereoselective glycosylation of N-trifluoroacetylneuraminic acid, selective protections of the 3- and 6-hydroxyl groups of N-acetylglucosamine that undergo fucosylation and sulfation, and construction of the glycolipid structure containing a ceramide. The structure of 6-O-sulfo de-N-acetylsialyl Lewis X ganglioside was characterized by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry (FAB-MS).
